Bitcoin's Role in Reducing Recidivism w/Stacey - "The biggest challenge for everybody in Bitcoin is unlearning."

Orange Hatter

The transformative potential of Bitcoin, particularly its ability to help people escape cycles of crime and poverty.

In the episode of 'Orange Hatter,' Tali introduces an upcoming women's retreat focused on Bitcoin and welcomes her guest, Stacy, for a conversation on her unique journey into the Bitcoin community.

After a long career in the corporate world, Stacy lost her job during the COVID pandemic and utilized her newfound free time to immerse herself in the world of Bitcoin. Impressed and inspired by the stories of individuals transforming their lives through Bitcoin, like Justin Redrick, she decided to start a non-profit, ‘Bitcoin Transformation Community,’ with the aim of increasing Bitcoin awareness, providing hope and motivation, and helping former convicts reintegrate into society through Bitcoin-related job placements.

The episode concludes with discussions on working in a male-dominated industry and empowering women through Bitcoin.
