Vane’s Take: Losing $11K in a Crypto Deal – A Story of Financial Literacy and Independence (Ep. 8)
This episode of Unraveling Crypto is a little different than our usual conversations with brilliant leaders in the bitcoin, crypto, and web3 space. Today we bring you Vane’s take, a new feature of the podcast where our host Vane Vargas shares a little more behind the scenes on what she’s up to, her experience in the space, and her takes on varying issues and topics.
In this first solo episode, Vane sat down to share more about her background in marketing and wellness, the journey from Colombia to Miami, how losing $11,000 in a sour crypto deal was a catalyst to diving down the crypto rabbit hole, and what inspired her to create the Unraveling Crypto podcast.
