Keith Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 April 19, 2022 Is Black Crypto Freedom? or Fad? Lee: So far we've mostly been talkin' about Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, the most famous. But there are thousands of other cryptocurrencies out there, which brings to mind this question. If crypto could be the future for Black people in this country, why not make our own? Tavonia Evans: We have all of the tools for the community to come and participate in building something, just like they built Bitcoin, you know, when you weren't around. But people don't understand, this has been done and replicated many, many, many times. Lee: Tavonia Evans is a software engineer and blockchain developer living in Dacula, Georgia. Like Lamar Wilson, Tavonia believes that crypto can mean financial freedom for Black folks. But unlike Lamar, she doesn't think that freedom will come from Bitcoin. Black folks, she says, need their own crypto. Evans: We gotta see our faces up there in the founders, on the founder team. You know? We have to see that. Our use case involves us being able to see ourselves as a part of this creation, see ourselves grow this from the ground up.
