Joybites: crypto education for moms, by a mom.

Yesterday, in Day 12, we talked about the seed phrase… those 12 or 24 random words that act like the master key to your crypto wallet. I mentioned how it’s the one thing that can recover everything if you ever lose access to your wallet. But here’s the bigger question: why does it work that…

Today we’re shaking things up a little. This series is meant to walk through crypto step by step, but since X is flooded with posts about the latest rate cut, I thought, why not join the conversation? Consider this a special edition of our 100 Days of Crypto. Still part of the journey, just with…

Okay, okay… we already know from Day 10 and Day 11 that your wallet holds your crypto. To send or receive, you use your public key (a.k.a. your wallet address). To approve transactions, you need your private key (like your ATM PIN). So far, so good. But now comes another important piece of the puzzle:…

When I first heard the words public key and private key, my brain instantly went: “Oh no, not another techy thing I need to memorize.” 😅 But once I found the right analogy, it clicked. So let’s keep it simple. Public Key, Like Your Bank Account Number Your public key is like your bank account…

Do you have a crypto wallet yet? The popular ones you’ve probably heard of are MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Trust Wallet. When I first heard the term crypto wallet, I imagined it was like a digital coin purse where I could keep my Bitcoin, ETH, or whatever tokens I had. Later, I learned that’s not…

Our conversations usually go something like:“Nakita mo na ba yung meme ni Vice Ganda?” or…

So if someone asked what I had, I’d proudly say, “Oh, I’ve got 4 Bitcoins in my portfolio”—when what I really meant was XRP, DOGE, ETH, and one actual Bitcoin. 😂 Eventually, I learned a simple…

Back in 2021 when I first dipped my toes into crypto, I have to admit I was confused with the terms bull and bear. I mean, think about it. They both start with the letter B, both big, and both can knock you down if you get too close. Honestly, my brain just went: same-same.…

If you read Day 5 and ask me how I am, I’d like you to know I’m okay. I already moved on. I learned my lesson, paid the “tuition fee”, and now I’m actually looking forward to the next opportunity to make a new mistake, because that’s how I’ll gather more stories to share with…

Why Sending Money Using the Wrong Chain is Stupid as Hell Okay… Day 5 wasn’t supposed to be about this. But here I am, writing with a heavy heart because I just made a $40 mistake. I tried to top up $40 USDC, but instead of using the right chain, I sent it via BASE…
