Studies show that LBGTQ and Black Americans are leading the cryptocurrency revolution.
In a survey last year, the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, found that the majority of crypto investors are under forty, do not have college degrees, and two-fifths are people of color.
On this Thursday’s Culture Rich Conversations, Christina Michelle sits down with Joseph Juana Robinson, a self-taught crypto investor.
He talks about the risks and rewards of digital currency and why it appeals to Blacks and other historically marginalized groups.

Cryptocurrency: A brave new world for Black investors.
Guests: Joseph Juana Robinson, a self-taught cryptocurrency investor.Joseph Juana Robinson says the crypto world is full of scams and get-rich-schemes — but if you do your homework, keep humble, stay patient and don’t get greedy — there are opportunities to earn big returns. Robinson believes cryptocurrency is a form of investment that offers economic empowerment to Black Americans and other historically disadvantaged peoples, because it’s a system that’s basically color-blind.
The Black Awareness Association is offering a free workshop on cryptocurrency this Wednesday, March 16th, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. at the Travelodge Hotel Juneau’s event room. Joseph Juana Robinson will be on hand to answer questions. To register, email the Black Awareness Association: juneaubaa@gmail.org.
