01/23/23 • 33 min
When Jacqui Cooper, a lawyer and teacher, meets her mentor and starts her journey into the blockchain and crypto space, she embarks on a Cinderella-like adventure to unravel the secrets of digital assets and prepare her family for the future.
"With my major in science, technology and society, I felt like I had come home because of the fact that it dealt with policy, it dealt with the alternative reasons why people look at the financial world and having control over their own finances. And that's why Bitcoin was created, in order to have people be able to not deal with the traditional banks."
Jacqui Cooper is an attorney, crypto consultant, and author of 'The Best Five Minute Crypto Wallet and Wealth Organizer' and 'Bitcoin Cinderella: A Diary of Her Blockchain Adventures'. She is passionate about educating people in the blockchain space and helping them prepare for the future.
Jacqui Cooper was always curious about blockchain and cryptocurrency and was looking for someone to explain it. She eventually found a mentor in Scotland who opened her eyes to the world of crypto. She started a talk show to document her journey and help others learn about the blockchain. Over time, she became more involved and is now a bitcoin miner, teacher, and lawyer. With her newfound knowledge, she wrote books to help others understand the blockchain, including a fairy tale called The Bitcoin Cinderella. Through her story, she hopes to inspire others to explore the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency and be prepared for the future.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. How to use blockchain to control your own finances and protect your family's inheritance.
2. The transformation of digital assets, such as Bitcoin and NFTs, into traditional forms of value and how to use them.
3. How to leverage cryptocurrency for fundraising in the nonprofit sector.
