It feels really transformative, like crypto.
Oh, we're having the best time.
Yes, the Nexo Tunnel.
What is the Nexo Tunnel? I have no idea. It is a space of enjoyment, imagination, and power. It looks like a good place to take your picture to go on Instagram.
I'm Marnita, the queen connectress.
Yes, sir. I am connecting people to financial literacy, investments, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology.
Hello.
OK, so you guys, I've only been in crypto for three years and I still feel like a little baby, right?
Okay, so check this out. I was looking for something different, right? You know, like every one of us, we struggle with day-to-day life. We're looking for something that can give us financial freedom, something we can base a foundation on, right? So I started praying. Nothing happened. All of a sudden, I'm on Facebook. Yes, Facebook, right? And I'm scrolling and I hear this voice, man.
And this voice is yelling about how cryptocurrency is going to bring about the greatest financial revolution that we have ever seen.
My cousin, Brandon Ivey. All right. He is actually a cryptocurrency and blockchain educator.
Oh, he was sitting here. Can you call Brandon for me? Okay, for... Oh, I don't have a card, but he's here. Okay, so check it out.
And it wasn't just like, let's say, people who are less fortunate. It was like people who had a lot of money. It was blacks, it was whites, it was Hispanics. And all of these people were there for a common reason. Freedom, right?
Okay, so check me out. I was working at the bank. $17 an hour. Talk about irony. In the credit card department of all places. That's where I was. I started learning about cryptocurrency and I walked away. I was like, this is not the way, dude. I walked away and I started learning about cryptocurrency and I thought because he's my cousin that it was going to be easy. No. Right?
He made me go to work. But that was the best thing he could have ever done for me.
He said, you got to learn this stuff, girlfriend. I'm not going to tell you. I could have had it to where I say, hey, I have $500, Brandon. Where should I put it? He said, no, no, no. do my course, learn about what cryptocurrency is. He said, do you know who Shytoshi Nakamoto is? I said, no. He said, don't ask me where to invest your money if you don't even know who that is, right?
Oh, yeah, absolutely. That was the first thing I encountered. I thought I was being freed, but instead I was scammed.
Well, OK, so I'm Polynesian. And so there was a self-made billionaire in crypto who was Tongan and I was Tongan. So that was very appealing and attractive to me. And like a dummy, we're just like, here's our money. Take our money. Like, you know, because we're just like trusting him to, you know, take the helm and guide us.
But he was actually a con artist and he scammed us, took all our money and ghosted us. So we lost 57K collectively as a family.
Yes, it is. And it took a big toll on me. And I told myself that I wasn't going to let that happen to anyone. It didn't have to just be my family. If someone was interested in learning more about crypto and I had something to share with them, then I was going to pay it forward. So then I had to take a seat and start learning and start getting educated.
