About Me

I'm Dolce Park, the founder of OneFiveTh AI and the lead writer at Crypto Money Basics. With a background in financial technology and blockchain research, I created this platform to provide honest, risk-aware cryptocurrency education — free from hype, affiliate links, and misleading promises.

Background & Credentials

  • 5+ years of experience in financial technology and blockchain research
  • Founder of OneFiveTh AI — focusing on AI and blockchain-driven solutions
  • Deep understanding of cryptocurrency markets, DeFi protocols, and security best practices
  • Committed to education-first approach — no investment advice, no paid promotions

Why I Write This

The cryptocurrency space is filled with misinformation, hype, and predatory schemes. I saw too many people losing money because they lacked basic knowledge — not because they were unintelligent, but because honest, accessible education was hard to find.

Crypto Money Basics exists to fill that gap. Every article focuses on education and risk awareness, never on pushing products or promising returns. I believe that informed people make better decisions, and that understanding risks is the foundation of any financial literacy.
