This week in brief

Your invitation to join me on my Bitcoin journey

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

Becky Liggero-Fontana is making the move from CalvinAyre.com to CoinGeek.com, with a full-time focus on the intersection of Bitcoin SV and the gaming industry.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Becky knows the gaming industry inside and out but she's never really dug into the technicalities powering Bitcoin and the innovation happening around it, until now. Over the last month, she's taken several Bitcoin courses, started consuming Bitcoin-related articles, interviews and livestreams, and signed up with a number of Bitcoin SV-powered applications.

WHY SHOULD I CARE?

Blockchain is in its infancy — think about the evolution of mobile technology from its clunky beginnings in the '90s to how we use it today. Everyone has cell phone and even toddlers know how to use them — we can't live without them! This is what's going to happen with blockchain. And as Becky prepares to come out of her comfort zone creating content surrounding Bitcoin SV technology, she invites you to join her on this next journey.
