I saw this story randomly browsing the internet over the weekend.

It talks about my former coworker at the finance company I worked for many years ago, quitting for crypto.

How did it all start?

Brenda Gentry AKA cryptomom and although I didn’t get the chance to meet her (or so I remember), we did work at the same headquarters in the same department.

I worked at the company for 7 years until 2014 and she had been there for the last 10 years so there was some overlap, for sure.

We might’ve crossed paths, who knows, but the story caught my eye for what it was and then drew me in even further because she lives in my former city and worked at my former workplace.

It’s truly incredible to quit your career of over a decade for cryptocurrency!

From finance to crypto

In short, she was working as a mortgage underwriter and then the pandemic happened.
