Potential club members must grab a permission slip to join the club. The members are introduced to bitcoin who founded Crypto currency. Crypto is an online currency that teaches people how to spend money. The website https://cryptospaniards.com/simulator/ is what they use to learn about Crypto. The club is very informative on how to invest in companies. 

The club also gives geographical knowledge of countries who accept Crypto. El Salvador has declared Crypto as its main source of money.  

According to Mr. Blecke “Currently 40% of US dollars in existence were printed in the last 12 months.” 

All of which is raising interest in the United States to invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is also tax free. The government cannot control Crypto currency. Sending money to another country through Walmart may be difficult, but Bitcoin has made it easier all due to a digital wallet. It is a big deal for immigration due to Bitcoin. Crypto currency goes from digital money to any type of currency. Bitcoin currency is recorded through every computer, so it cannot be hacked. There are three layers of a blockchain for Crypto Currency. It is all about gambling. Layer 3 is more of a big deal when compared to Layer 1. Layer 3 is all apps like Gods Unleashed, and Chain Guardians. There are seven pro athletes being paid in Crypto. Aaron Rogers from the Greenville Packers is just an example.
