Tech Trivia with Gloria Chimelu, Crypto Writer at Investopedia

Content writing is a diverse field that goes beyond blog posts and social media content. The tech side of it could include technical writing, product documentation, and cryptocurrency writing.

This involves simplifying complex topics like financial systems, blockchain technology, and digital products into content that people can understand and use. 

That’s why today’s Tech Trivia spotlight is on Gloria Chimelu, a crypto and financial markets writer at Investopedia. Gloria creates crypto education content and financial product explainers for global audiences. 

Investopedia, on the other hand, is a financial education platform that focuses on investing, personal finance, market analysis, and cryptocurrency education. 

In this trivia, we learned how Gloria combines technical writing, crypto education, and product content to make complex financial systems clear, usable, and trustworthy.

1. Summarise your mornings in one sentence

My mornings are usually very fast-paced and the busiest part of my day.

2. Describe your gadget setup

I have a pretty simple setup of a trusted laptop and a mouse that makes it faster for me to do things. Sometimes, I use an external keyboard, but that’s only when I have a lot of things in a very short time, and I need to type fast.

3. What tech tools/ applications do you use the most for work?

The tech tools I use mostly for work are Google Docs, TradingView, X, Reddit, Dune, Defillama, and Google Sheets.

4. What do you do when you need inspiration?

When I need inspiration, I listen to lo-fi music. I have a morning playlist on Spotify that just inspires me when I’m stuck. If I play music with lyrics, I might just end up singing along, so I prefer lo-fi that’s just chill beats.

5. What mobile application can you not do without daily?

I can’t do without Google Docs. 

6. What tech solution do you wish someone had created?

A tech solution I wish someone had created is a decentralised social media app that is easy to use, easy to onboard people, and is just fun.

Many of the decentralised social media apps these days are hard to set up, boring, or just so cumbersome. We really need that in the tech ecosystem.

7. If you have unlimited time and money, what problem would you solve?

If I had unlimited time and money, the problems I would love to solve are problems with menstruation and menopause. I feel these things are not taken as seriously as they should be, and it affects millions of women around the world. 

As women, these things affect our productivity and our general well-being, and the world doesn’t really mind if we are going through terrible cramps; all that matters is the results we produce at work.

Some women go through so much pain during their monthly menstrual cycle. It is important to integrate systems that either make work easier for them during this period or support any form of technical difficulties they may face at work. 

And during menopause, there should be online communities encouraging and advocating for this, so they won’t feel left out or out of the market while pursuing a successful career.

8. Which woman in tech inspires you the most?

Yanmo Omoregbe, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at Bamboo. I think what she did with Bamboo was amazing. I use Bamboo, and I don’t think I would have invested in US stocks if not for Bamboo.

There are other apps, yes, but Bamboo UI/UX just caught my eye, and I’ve been a loyal user ever since.

9. Which profound statement inspires you the most?

“Urgency is a life hack.” I take everything with a sense of urgency because I have the tendency to procrastinate or try to perfect something that I end up not doing. So, yes, urgency is indeed a life hack.

10. Whose women in tech trivia would you love to read?

Sarah Idahosa, founder of Women in DeFi. This is an organisation that has helped a lot of women launch their careers in web3. I’d love to read her trivia, know what tech solution she’d rather create, and see what inspires her.
