We had the good fortune of connecting with Crypto Jamie and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Crypto, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I worked in professional sport for 11 years and realised, although it seems like the dream job – it’s not freedom. I was working every weekend & restricted on when I can take holidays, early mornings and late nights. It was rugby league and the money isn’t great, I was working 2 jobs at the time to try and have a more comfortable life.

I knew there had to be a better way to make money & to be able to hit my goals of freedom, which is when I started looking in to crypto currency.

I spent a lot of time researching crypto and teaching myself how the markets work. After 6 months of investing, I was able to quit my full time job and live a much more comfortable life solely from trading.

I’d noticed when learning myself that a lot of these so called ‘crypto experts’ are charging for courses to learn crypto. Which is what gave me the motivation to start creating content, to remove the barriers of entry for people in the space completely free of charge.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am a huge advocate of not paying for crypto courses from ‘experts’. Chainking.io is your free, one stop platform for everything you need to learn crypto!

I have ensured that we cover all learning styles to ensure that we cover the best product to the user.

As the web3 world is ever evolving, chainking.io is continuously being updated with the latest crypto news and educational resources. It’s important to note, we don’t just cover crypto currency, we cover everything web3 and blockchain.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Although I’m from Warrington, England; I’m now based in Dubai and although I’m in Dubai, my approach to life is not glitz and glam. I’m very proud to have not changed who I am, even throughout my success.

I would start at the local fish market and the gold souk. In my opinion – culture is the most important part of travel and it’s easy to miss this in Dubai amongst the shiny lights and fast cars. There is one bar that I particularly like, claw BBQ on JBR – the main reason? It’s full of normal people wanting to have a good time!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My Wife – we went travelling for 18 months around the crypto circuit. Being together 24/7 and working together can take its toll on any couple but we truly are best friends. As a lot of wives she literally runs everything in the background. From emails, DM’s, research and suggests direction for the business.

She knows when I need to be challenged and motivated. My number one cheerleader but keeps me grounded with constructive criticism.

My Mum & Dad – bringing me up with a good work ethic and to achieve my goals. My Dad was born in Egypt with a very different upbringing to myself, but despite many barriers is still very successful himself. This has given me an attitude and desire to always want more and anything is possible. It shows in my business that winning alone is not fun. This is why I’m so passionate about creating free, educational resources, no matter where you’re from or who you are.
