It’s a moment to pause, reset, and reflect about what is really important as we head into the heart of the holiday season and the end of the year. And then to actually take action on what we think really matters.
OK, so how does Crypto Literacy Month tie into this? Well, this year, one way to try to implement everything you have learned over the past few weeks about bitcoin, DeFi, security, etc., and donate some crypto to your favorite charity or project.
