Editor-in-Chief
Alex is Editor-in-Chief of Coindoo and co-founder of Millennial Media Group, with nearly a decade of experience covering financial markets - crypto first, then everything else. It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.

For years, Bitcoin ran on a predictable clock. Every four years, a halving event slashed new supply, retail investors piled in, prices exploded, and the whole thing collapsed 80% before starting again. Analysts could map it. Traders could position for it. It was practically a given.
World Liberty Financial, the crypto project backed by Donald Trump and his family, is in the middle of a governance vote that critics say is engineered to consolidate power among large holders while sidelining the retail investors who funded the project in the first place.

The world isn't running out of oil. It's running out of room for it. That's the paradox sitting at the center of the worst energy disruption in recent memory - and it's one that price charts and headlines have largely failed to capture.
