🎙️ Episode Summary:

In this powerful episode, Jill Ford shares her personal story—from being convicted of bank fraud and money laundering to becoming a leading advocate for ethical Bitcoin mining and financial literacy.

After serving 20 months in federal prison, Jill was exposed to the harsh realities and inequities of the traditional financial system, particularly affecting marginalized communities. This experience fueled her mission to leverage Bitcoin as a decentralized, accessible solution to systemic financial injustices.

Jill founded Bitford Digital, a Dallas-based company dedicated to sustainable Bitcoin mining powered by renewable energy, emphasizing ethics and environmental responsibility.
