Dakota Yates is the editor of Tokenized Wire and is accountable for everything it publishes. He works in technology and runs several small businesses in California. He started Tokenized Wire because most of the public answers about gold tokens are written by companies that sell them. His father is an executive at GGBR Inc., which issues the Goldfish (GGBR) gold token, so Tokenized Wire does not cover that token.
