About Me
Hi, I’m Christine — a reporter and research analyst who specializes in understanding and tracking the technical development of the world’s most valuable open-source protocols, Bitcoin and Ethereum.
At Galaxy Digital, I led Ethereum research, publishing weekly insights on protocol development, upgrade timelines, and the often messy but fascinating world of decentralized governance.
Before that, I spent over three years at CoinDesk helping shape how crypto was reported to a global audience. There, I launched the “Mapping Out Eth 2.0” podcast and the “Valid Points” newsletter, which covered Ethereum’s historic transition to proof-of-stake in a unique, hands-on way.
I’ve interviewed protocol developers, decoded governance proposals, and explained major network upgrades to a wide audience of crypto veterans and curious newcomers alike.
My work aims to bridge the gap between developer communities and broader stakeholder groups through clear, credible analysis.
If you’re looking to stay informed on how Ethereum and other public blockchain protocols are evolving — from testnet drama to consensus-layer breakthroughs — you’re in the right place.
Thanks for stopping by. Subscribe to stay ahead of the curve on open-source protocol development and governance.
