Moms Can Crypto Too: Explaining Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin and Blockchain

Ok BOMers, buckle up. We're gonna talk Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency and what the $%&$%&@* it all means. Because we want to be really clear here: we have no idea what it all means. But we're definitely curious. Aren't you?

We pulled in Rachael Horwitz, Silicon Valley veteran, and VP of Communications at Coinbase (and mom!) to help us understand the take-the-red-pill brain-exploding theory about how and why cryptocurrency exists, and where she believes it's going.

Rachael has one super awesome take on the whole thing: she truly believes that women - especially moms - should educate themselves in all areas of finance so we can make our own informed decisions and empower ourselves financially. We can get behind that for sure!

So put on your smart girl hat and join us for an intro on crypto and maybe this will lead a few of us down an exciting new path. Let us know if it does!

**************

Shayna and Tracey have been friends since the 8th grade – that’s over 25 years. After college, they each moved to separate coasts for a decade. They were reunited when they decided to leave big city life and settle down with their families in Denver, Colorado and Facebook told them their daughters are 3 weeks apart. After several play dates, some more childbirth, some unsuccessful pumping, and the overwhelming nature of mommy community boards, The Pump and Dump Show was born.

The show launched in 2012 in a bar in Northwest Denver and quickly grew to a bi-monthly, local staple for new moms to have a night out. In 2014, Shayna and Tracey took The Pump and Dump Show on its first national tour, and in September of 2019 The Pump and Dump Show expanded with more casts of real moms who continue to perform every month to audiences nationwide.
