The purpose of the From Bars To Bitcoin podcast is to document our journey with our From Bars To Bitcoin Reentry Tour initiative.
We will share our journey as we travel across the U.S. educating incarcerated people about financial literacy through a bitcoin lens while offering them skills & employment opportunities within the bitcoin ecosystem.
We will post videos when the correctional facilities permit us to film.
In future podcasts, we will discuss our experience in the correctional facilities
