⚡🇺🇲 NEW - A Texas mother said crypto helped her overcome financial abuse following her difficult divorce.

Karin found herself without a bank in the midst of a contentious divorce, and crypto helped her become financially independent.

She was ordered to sell her BTC and ETH, which she had hidden on a centralized exchange, so that the amount could be divided equally between the former spouses.

But she refused, arguing that the funds were a lifeline, particularly for providing for her children.

Karin had to teach her own lawyers, the opposing counsel, and the judge how to use a blockchain explorer to verify that the funds had not moved, in order to prove her good faith.

“The fact that there were private keys, and that I was the only one who had them, gave me the ability to be so bold and defend myself.”
