The Worth and Wealth of an Idea
The doors to the street opened. The rush of traffic buzzed. Endless streams of honking, muffled by the shuffling sounds of city life. Tony reached into his pocket for his lighter. Lighting his cigarette, he let out a gut-wrenching sigh, staring up at the sky asking the proverbial, “Why me?”

The Blockchain Stallion
In Dover, Delaware, in 2008, a silver van with the words “Teach to Grow” pulled up to the home of fifteen-year-old Greg Gallo. Out of it emerged the teenager. He had autism. He could speak six different languages and had memorized sections of Shakespeare, but he had trouble making eye contact while he spoke to other people.

Who Created Bitcoin and Why?
What is Bitcoin? Obviously joking here. If you are not familiar with the most popular cryptocurrency, you must be quite disconnected from the world. Which is not a bad thing in all fairness given everything that is happening (Covid-19 much?). But c'mon man, as Joe Biden would say, even your grandma has heard of Bitcoin. It is insanely popular these days. Everybody is talking about it. From TikTok teenagers (and their bad personal advice) to BlackRock executives. You cannot just ignore it any more. For those of us that have been close to the crypto markets since the early days, it has been a dramatic rise. Even more dramatic if you were here when Bitcoin was below $100 and did not buy into it. But is that worse than having bought into it and losing access to your wallet? That’s debatable. But maybe with the recent price rally, you are just wondering: what’s going on with Bitcoin? And you might also be thinking: who created Bitcoin and why?

Despite the hype about how difficult and dangerous it can be, getting bitcoins is a lot easier and safer than you might think.

The Bitcoin Lady
She had just finished changing from her gi to her smart red blouse and black skirt. A petite five-feet, three inches tall, the seventy-four year-old was a second degree black belt who had been practicing and sparring at the same dojo in Newark, Delaware. It was about one o’clock in the afternoon, and her grandkids were due home from school soon, so she would need to be leaving the dojo, and heading there to meet them. That’s when it came to her, a name for her alias behind the cryptocurrency Bitcoin: she would call herself Satashi Nakamoto.
