TPB97 - 21 Women in Bitcoin with Becca Bratcher

Author: Bitcoin is for Everyone July 23, 2024 Duration: 50:53

"Bitcoin is for everyone. I think a lot of people don't think that it really is, but it actually is." - Becca

My guest today is Becca Bratcher. Becca is a former nurse, podcast host and the author of the newly released book, “21 Women in Bitcoin,” which highlights the vital role that women play in shaping Bitcoin’s evolution and impact on society.

In this episode we discuss and contrast the “crypto bro” narrative that Bitcoin often finds itself in with the reality that Bitcoin is used around the world, including growing adoption among women. We discuss how Bitcoin is empowering women globally, breaking financial barriers, and creating opportunities for all. Learn about the challenges, misconceptions, and the growing impact of women in the Bitcoin space, and we hope you’ll feel inspired to think beyond peoples’ preconceived notions of Bitcoin and explore its human rights and empowering use-cases.

There’s a common story told about Bitcoin, one focused on speculation and a certain type of enthusiast. The Progressive Bitcoiner exists to tell the rest of the story. This podcast moves past the headlines to explore how this technology is being used in tangible, human ways around the world. You’ll hear from organizers, developers, and everyday people who are applying Bitcoin as a practical tool for financial inclusion and personal autonomy. Each conversation focuses on real-world impact, whether that’s supporting human rights work, providing an economic lifeline in unstable regions, or simply offering a new way to think about value and community. Hosted by Bitcoin is for Everyone, the discussions are grounded in education and firsthand narratives, linking the technical foundations to broader cultural and societal shifts. The aim isn’t to hype an asset, but to document a movement. Tune in for a perspective that is often missing from the mainstream conversation-one that finds the progressive potential within a protocol and amplifies the voices already building a more accessible future with it.
