Dan Palmer is News editor and writer at CoinDesk. I like to make stuff with fire, like pots and blades. Slave to 3 cats, master to 1 dog. I am currently the UK/Europe News Editor at cryptocurrency/blockchain news site CoinDesk. Prior to this role, I was a writer for Australian tech site Delimiter, and, before that, social media manager for a bitcoin exchange, writing newsletters, web content, press releases and feeding the social media channels. As a writer and sub-editor, I have many years of experience at notable publications, firms and websites, including: BBC Top Gear magazine, BBC Radio 5 Live, LonelyPlanet.com, New Scientist online, Huawei. As a side project in 2013, I set up my own company, Touch Publishing Ltd, to create and publish multimedia language ebooks.
