Full Bio

Kelly started her accounting business in 2006 and retired in 2021.  She holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Mathematics.

Kelly first heard about bitcoin in the news around 2011. Her investments were in the stock market at the time. She became curious about bitcoin in 2013 when the price started rising. As an experiment, she bought three bitcoins for $250 each in 2015.

Now came the exciting part: Where do you spend the bitcoin? At the time, no place in her hometown accepted bitcoin. She eventually purchased a used laptop for one bitcoin. But as time passed, that purchase ended up being one expensive laptop.

In late 2017, the price of a single bitcoin hit $20k. That’s when she realized the potential of bitcoin and crypto for generating life-changing wealth. She also realized speculating in cryptocurrencies was not for the faint of heart. She needed to learn everything about crypto.

Her research and education eventually led to Life with Crypto, an online education platform where she aims to educate others about the life-changing possibilities available within crypto markets. 

Kelly writes free and paid publications on crypto investing, trading, passive income, blockchain technology, and more. Additionally, Kelly hosts the Let’s Crypto MasterMind. 

In her spare time, Kelly enjoys Tai Chi, hiking, and camping with her life partner and dog, Tucker.
