Cryptocurrency. It’s been called the future of money, internet gold, and… let’s be honest, a total mystery for most people.

In this episode of Your Tech Makeover, I’m breaking down what cryptocurrency really is — no hype, no jargon, just the essentials. We’ll talk about Bitcoin (and what makes it special), how blockchain works, how people actually get cryptocurrency, and why the prices seem to change faster than the weather.

Whether you’re crypto-curious or just tired of nodding along in conversations you don’t understand, this episode is for you.

🎧 In this episode:

  • What is cryptocurrency, really?

  • The origin of Bitcoin and why it matters

  • How blockchain keeps things secure (and honest)

  • Where crypto comes from — mining, exchanges, and wallets

  • What drives the price (and volatility) of coins like Bitcoin

  • The risks, benefits, and real-world uses of crypto

If you've ever thought, "Should I get into crypto?" — start here.
