Michael J. Casey is a journalist, author, and technology entrepreneur whose work has covered economics, money, and digital assets. He co-wrote The Age of Cryptocurrency with Paul Vigna, served as CoinDesk’s chief content officer before leaving the company in 2024, and now describes himself as a founder and chief executive in the consent-infrastructure field. His career spans traditional financial journalism and crypto media, but his commentary should be read as analysis rather than as a neutral market signal.
Journalism and Cryptocurrency
Casey spent many years in financial journalism, including work at Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal. He later joined CoinDesk, where he led content and helped develop its Money Reimagined newsletter and podcast. In 2024, he publicly said he was no longer employed by CoinDesk; later biographies list other roles, including work connected to events and data infrastructure. Job titles change, so older conference bios that still call him CoinDesk’s chief content officer may be out of date.
The Age of Cryptocurrency
Casey and Paul Vigna’s book was published in 2015 by St. Martin’s Press. It introduced Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency systems to a general readership and placed them in the context of money, institutions, and economic change. The book is a historical introduction from that period, not a current technical manual or a prediction of how any asset will perform.
Current Work and Scope
Casey’s own biography currently lists him as chief content officer of the Real World Asset Summit and founder and CEO of H2H Intelligence, a company focused on consent infrastructure for AI data. These are self-reported professional roles. His published work often connects digital technology with access to financial services and global economic systems; that perspective is useful context, but it remains one author’s analysis.
