Settled in Lagos, his fascination with blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market arose out of his love of freedom and everything free. As a Nigerian, Victor understands the impact unfounded financial restrictions have on a population. He sees Bitcoin and cryptos as a way to circumvent these obstacles, as a tool for value creation despite all the setbacks. A graduate in Physics, Victor previously worked as a Senior Marketer at Melange Technologies. Before that, he dealt with crypto-marketers on a regular basis in his capacity as Copywriter at Ventrix Media. At AMBCrypto, Victor\u2019s focus is on assessing the real effectiveness of both on-chain and off-chain developments on a project and its community sentiment.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/victor-olanrewaju\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/vic_olanrewaju"],"knowsAbout":["Technical Analysis","Crypto Market Trends","Crypto Market Analysis"],"jobTitle":"Journalist","worksFor":"AMBCrypto","url":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/author\/victor-olanrewaju\/"}]}},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/72"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363933"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363933\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/363938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=363933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=363933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
