With each article, Best lends a voice to important issues such as a more financially inclusive future, transparent systems for growth and development, and technology that is not self-serving but one that serves all of humanity. When not curating engaging content, Best can be found reading a book with a cup of hot chocolate, enjoying a Netflix series, or exploring the outdoors with Green - the world\u2019s most quiet and well-behaved Husky.

As an animal lover, Best is also involved with charities for animals, local shelters, and rescues. Best is also involved in local events that promote inclusivity, such as being a prominent member of hiking clubs and a cycling club, as well as being a part of a very happy group of animal lovers. Best is a true professional in every sense of the word, with an exceptional dedication to producing high-quality work. This shines through in Best's work on and off the clock. These include advocating for inclusive crypto education for all, the impact of financial illiteracy, and the benefits of adopting new technologies such as cryptocurrencies. Best\u2019s prolific career in the media industry is a testament of how hard work and dedication pays.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/best-owie-41a150178\/\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/BestOwie\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/author\/owiebest\/\"}]}<\/script>\n","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Ethereum Options Surpass Bitcoin Ahead Of Upcoming Merge","description":"Ethereum has been outperforming bitcoin for a while now.
