Investing in Bitcoin can be scary. We can help!

Coursera.org defines cryptocurrency as “digital money that doesn’t require a bank or financial institution to verify transactions and can be used for purchases or as an investment. Transactions are then verified and recorded on a blockchain, an unchangeable ledger that tracks and records assets and trades.”
For individuals, cryptocurrency represents new ways to store and grow wealth. For businesses, it offers innovative solutions like smart contracts, tokenized assets, and decentralized applications. The buzz surrounding this groundbreaking technology is undeniable and it has been hailed by enthusiasts as nothing less than the future of finance. That said, scams, regulatory complexity, and technical challenges make navigating the industry difficult without the support of a trusted team of advisors. The seasoned team of professionals at CryptoConsultz are here to assist!

I recently joined the team at Northwest Association for Blind Athletes (NWABA) as the Director of Philanthropy. With 25 years in the nonprofit sector, I’ve dedicated myself to causes I’m passionate about. My own sweet mother was blind from the age of seven and I was drawn to the mission of NWABA which is to empower those who are blind or vision impaired. This organization truly touches my heart, providing life-changing opportunities through sports for youth, adults and veterans across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and beyond. NWABA athletes gain self-confidence, independence, vocational skills and lifelong relationships. Want to learn more? Drop me an email!
As a Regional Account Manager for 1st CHOICE Advisory Services in Vancouver, I have the pleasure of connecting seniors in our community to the best resources for their needs. I’ve been in this role for more than 6 years and am constantly reminded of the strength and support in our community. After 20 years in corporate retail, I was thrilled to transition into senior housing. My team advisors, Christyna and Rachel, often assist clients who cannot return home from the hospital and need full-time care in a home or community. With this significant change come additional needs, and my role helps bridge those connections!
