Reporter, Decentralized Finance and Technology .

CoinDesk seeks a talented journalist to cover the fast-moving decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, its influence on financial markets, and its impact on blockchain technology. DeFi has been positioned by its boosters as a way to rip power away from governments and financial institutions. Just as it has captured the imaginations of libertarians and crypto-anarchists, crypto’s Wild West has captured billions of dollars in investments from traditional financial firms and retail traders. This dichotomy – between ideologues, institutions, and casual investors – makes DeFi one of the most fascinating beats in all of business and technology. Covering DeFi is unlike covering traditional financial markets. It involves digging deep into Discord groups and Reddit forums where “degens,” traditional investors, and anonymous influencers are all anxious carve out a place in the economy of the future. Crypto Twitter is full of new memes, new feuds, and new controversies each day as passionate founders and investors pitch out their unique visions for the future of money.
