With an MBA from Yale and a rich, 20-year journey of homeschooling four incredible children, my career path took an unexpected yet fulfilling turn into the heart of the Bitcoin universe. It was through my husband's innovative game, HODL UP, that I first stepped into the Bitcoin space, sparking a curiosity that quickly turned into a passionate pursuit.

Traveling and engaging with diverse communities unveiled a pressing need: to bring Bitcoin knowledge to more women, to make it accessible, relatable, and empowering. This realization was the birthplace of the Orange Hatter Podcast. Through this platform, I share the untold stories of everyday women—those you meet at the grocery store or live next door. These narratives highlight how Bitcoin provides solutions to real-life problems, embodying the idea that if Bitcoin can be useful to one woman, it could be beneficial to all.

My mission is simple yet profound: to demystify Bitcoin for women, showing its practicality and potential to transform lives. This ambition drove me to create a weekly online reading club dedicated to studying and sharing Bitcoin knowledge in an intimate, supportive setting. The journey didn't stop there; I established a women's retreat to bring Bitcoin enthusiasts together in person. This retreat is more than an event; it's a sanctuary for rejuvenating the spirit, fostering deep connections, and building lasting friendships among women in the Bitcoin community.

Recognizing the entrepreneurial spirit in many women Bitcoiners, I formed a mastermind group. This initiative supports female entrepreneurs in the Bitcoin space, providing a platform for collaboration, growth, and mutual success.

My path from a Yale MBA to a pioneer in women's Bitcoin empowerment reflects my belief in continuous learning, the power of community, and the transformative potential of Bitcoin. I am dedicated to making the Bitcoin space more inclusive and accessible, one woman at a time. Join me on this journey to explore how Bitcoin can be not just an investment, but a tool for empowerment and change.

Tonight, my husband Scott and I went to Steak ’n Shake after our Bitcoin meetup, where we had a robust discussion about businesses accepting Bitcoin as a currency—a method of payment.

We walked in with excitement, ready to try their Lightning payment option.

No one greeted us—just a sign pointing us to a kiosk.

Fine, we weren’t deterred. We followed the instructions, carefully placed our order, and even snapped a photo as we gleefully paid with Bitcoin.

We filled our own drinks and sat down, noticing the table next to us piled with dirty dishes. The floor was dirty and slightly sticky.

Behind the counter, one lonely woman was cooking ten burgers at a time. She moved slower than a sloth and was clearly not well.

Twenty-five long minutes later—without a single employee ever coming out of the kitchen—we started to get antsy. I almost walked out and counted it a total loss.

Finally, our name was lazily and quietly called. Cold burgers. Stale fries. It’s an understatement to say I won’t be going back, no matter what signs they put up about accepting Bitcoin or beef tallow fries.

The bottom line: while we look forward to the day Bitcoin is used widely as a currency, right now it too often feels like a marketing gimmick—when what businesses really need to work on is the customer experience.

Technology is only as strong as the customer experience it supports.

Sorry to read this account. My experiences at the Richmond KY Steak n Shake have been vastly different. One manager - Ian - knows me as the bitcoin guy and chats about the positive experience he’s had with bitcoiners. I’m always greeted by someone offering to take my order - I suspect many gray ...
