Learn about the world of cryptocurrency, exploring what it is, how it works, and why it's making headlines. You will hear (without complex financial jargon) about its fundamentals, such as: what Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are; how they're bought and used; and their underlying blockchain technology.  Discover why some view crypto as "digital gold" and learn about its key risks and opportunities.  Understand how cryptocurrency differs from traditional money and discuss important considerations (like understanding scams and protecting your information). Let’s demystify this emerging technology, empowering us to make informed decisions in our future.
