Block Earner – Emrah KARADERE
Our first guest was Emrah Karadere, Block Earner’s Head of Operations in Turkiye. Karadere, who graduated from engineering, stated that he had trouble adapting when he first entered the crypto industry due to the dynamic structure and differences.
He said that user profiles for Block Earner, which operates in two different countries, vary greatly from country to country. For this reason, he added that as a team, they have to constantly observe both the technology and the users, and according to Karadere, those who want to work in the industry will find themselves in a constant change in this industry.
Also, he advised that people who want to engage in the industry should have at least some ‘Artificial Intellengence’ knowledge and they should have basic industry knowledge.

Our second guest was Harika Eldogan, Senior Marketing Director of Binance TR. She emphasised that as Binance TR, they always aim to improve the users’ experience by trying to determine what users want in the most appropriate way.

Besides, she underlined that it is very important for people who want to work in this industry to have a good command of current issues and technical development. She also said that since the industry is very new, they should follow the best sources while following the topics and trying to learn new things.
In addition, she stated that since the industry has a lot of ups and downs, they should be ready for change at any time and that they should always make themselves ready for this as stress and motivation.
