I started writing about crypto because I realised that most of the explanations and videos on the web are aimed at people who are already technical. They aren't going to help most people. I want to open the subject up so that anyone can understand the basics and, perhaps more importantly, the challenges and risks that don't get talked about enough.

​

Bitcoin was originally designed to be democratic, available for everyone even if you don't have a bank account, but there is still too high a level of crypto-inequality. Too many people who think it's unavailable to them. Yes, it's a technical subject, but that doesn't mean it can't be explained simply.

​

People are making life-changing amounts of money by investing in crypto - paying off student loans or even mortgages - while others are being left behind because the industry doesn't cater for people who aren't so comfortable with new technology. I want to change that by explaining it all in simple terms, honestly and openly.
