If you’ve been in the financial space for any time at all, then you’ve probably heard of cryptocurrencies — or at the very least, you’ve at least heard the term Bitcoin bouncing around. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have been steadily on the rise for years, and just like with most things, the nation is still a little bit divided.
Some of us are all in on the idea of a digital currency, and some of us are skeptical, but a lot of us just haven’t been paying attention — and today we’re here to change some of those numbers around!
For this episode of the His & Her Money Show, we’ve brought in the man with all the answers on this topic for an in-depth conversation on Bitcoin! Isaiah Jackson, the author of Bitcoin & Black America, jumped into the cryptocurrency space back in 2013 and since then has cultivated a wealth of knowledge that he’s passionate about sharing across the globe!
With his background in tech and education, Isaiah immediately saw the potential that Bitcoin could hold — particularly how cryptocurrencies, in general, could be a gamechanger for Black Americans.
Frustrated with the steps and progress that Black communities have made, and how the median income has stayed more or less the same, Isaiah is tasking Bitcoin and decentralized financing to take on the wealth gap. And in his book Bitcoin & Black America, he lays it ALL out — blockchains, investing, and so, so much more.
This is some powerful conversation today, and an incredible book, and one that we recommend to anybody who’s interested in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency space, especially within the Black community, to take that first step into the future of money!
