The host of the educational channel Coin Bureau is a recognizable face who has garnered a reputation for delivering witty, entertaining and insightful content.
Speaking to Cointelegraph during the Bitcoin Amsterdam conference in October 2023, Turner recounted his journey into crypto and how Coin Bureau successfully transitioned from a blog-only platform to a video content powerhouse.
Having studied English at university, Turner spent several years teaching corporate writing before discovering Bitcoin.
A couple of years later, Turner became a founding member of Coin Bureau alongside Nic Puckrin.
In a couple of years, the blog became a top-ranked site for educational content but hit a snag when Google changed its algorithm.
Coin Bureau's video content had humble beginnings, shot with an entry-level camera in a friend's living room.
The page surpassed 10,000 subscribers, then 100,000, then a quarter of a million.
As of January 2024, Coin Bureau has 2.38 million subscribers on YouTube.
The brand is now widely recognized by crypto enthusiasts, with Turner recalling how Bitcoin Miami in 2023 hammered home the realization that the content and his likeness were making an impression.
Turner highlighted how the growing influence of macroeconomics and traditional finance events affects the crypto ecosystem, necessitating content exploring these topics.
Driving an understanding of the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem and some common misconceptions is another goal for Coin Bureau.
The channel will also continue to educate individual users on the importance of cryptocurrency self-custody and advocate for industrywide best practices to safeguard user funds, Turner said.
