About Our Guest: 

Skyler’s crypto journey began in early 2018 when he applied the educational and research skills learned in his undergraduate and master’s degrees (BA in Environmental & Urban Sustainability, MASc in Environmental Applied Science & Management) to teach himself about cryptocurrency and how to research crypto investments. This led him to his next chapter in 2020 when he left his government job in forestry to pursue crypto full-time. Two years after that, he had the inspiration to share his crypto knowledge and to empower others, which led him to build Ascend Crypto. Ascend Crypto provides a full suite of services, ranging from weekly newsletters and podcasts to educational courses and consulting.
