About Us

“I started to write Samantha’s story as The Bitcoin Cinderella for my daughter.  As a mother and teacher, I could see how parents were not communicating with their children about their cryptocurrency investments or NFT creations or blockchain developments.  I believe it is critical for families and youth to discuss what they are doing online.  Digital assets are being created daily and yet we are not documenting them to share with our loved ones.  The Bitcoin Cinderella blockchain adventure series allow families to enjoy magical fairytales interwoven with understanding blockchain developments.  Each story takes place in a different part of the world and integrates new concepts from Bitcoin Mining to DAOS to Digital Sandboxes and more.  I love reading and am writing these adventures to be shared as read alouds for family time.  Within each adventure are links to explore to the virtual digital world we are exploring. Enjoy! Have fun! Samantha is traveling the world to open the doors for us all!”    Shared by … JC/CryptoMom2
