If you’ve ever wondered why Bitcoin used to feel so sketchy - or why the news made it sound like only criminals and tech bros used it - this episode breaks it all down in simple, human language.

Janae, Barbie, Krissi and E rewind to the chaos era of Bitcoin: the early 2010s, when new technology, no guardrails, confusing language, and wild price swings made it feel completely out of reach for real women trying to make smart financial decisions.

Together, we unpack:

• Why the 2008 financial crisis inspired the creation of Bitcoin
• What made the early days feel unregulated, volatile, and “for criminals”
• How words like wallet, exchange, and store of value made it easier to understand
• When Bitcoin started becoming accessible to regular people (2015–2018)
• How regulation, government adoption, and mainstream companies shifted the narrative
• Why volatility still exists — but looks very different than it did in the beginning
• What it means that Bitcoin isn’t owned by any one person or government
• Why some Bitcoin is permanently lost and why that matters

This conversation isn’t about hype - it’s about clarity.
It’s about understanding the history so you can understand the opportunity.

We end by teeing up our next episode where we’ll answer the big question women are asking now:
“Okay, so how do I actually buy Bitcoin… safely?”
