Josh Quittner

Josh Quittner is a pioneering technology journalist turned media entrepreneur, best known as co-founder and CEO of Decrypt, one of the most prominent independent media outlets covering cryptocurrency, blockchain and Web3. Launched in 2018, Decrypt built a reputation for rigorous, accessible journalism in a space often dominated by hype, and operates as an ad-supported and reader-supported digital publication at the intersection of technology and finance. Before founding Decrypt, Quittner had a distinguished career in mainstream technology media. He served as a senior editor and technology writer at Time magazine, where he produced influential cover stories on the internet era, and was a founding editor of Time Inc.'s tech vertical. He also had a notable tenure at Wired, contributing to its early coverage of cyberculture and the digital economy. His journalism career spans the emergence of the commercial internet through the rise of mobile and social media. Quittner is widely regarded as one of the journalists who helped define how mainstream audiences understood the internet in the 1990s and 2000s. His move into crypto media with Decrypt represents a continuation of that mission — bringing credible, independent reporting to a new and rapidly evolving technology landscape.
