I recently spent time with 150 8th graders as part of a career day at a local middle school. I spoke to them about my path in cybersecurity & cryptocurrency.

I was surprised by their interest & knowledge of #Bitcoin. Several of them, mostly girls told me that owned some. They asked questions about self custody and private key management.

I was expecting to start getting questions about the FUD we constantly hear (criminal use, climate impact, scams, etc). I heard non of that. Just engaging conversations about the utility, the value and global benefits of #Bitcoin. They get it.

I later realized these same kids are not on Twitter or Facebook and they don’t read or watch mainstream media. They are not inundated with anti-crypto FUD 24/7.

I didn’t know what to expect about my visit, but I now have more hope for the future.
