About GrassRoots Crypto

GrassRoots Crypto was founded by Chris in 2020 with the mission of providing educational support to newcomers in the world of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency. Chris understood the challenges and frustration newcomers face when starting their journey in the crypto space, having gone through it himself. He noticed that many YouTube videos used cryptocurrency terminology and jargon that new people often found confusing. This led him to create a platform where beginners could be guided effectively. He wanted to do something different to cater for people brand new to the space.

First Steps:

  • Chris’ first videos were developed after the THORChain community had requested an instructional video series on THORNodes (AWS infrastructre deployments) for current and new THORNode operators. This was his first time doing YouTube videos.
  • As his knowledge expanded, he delved deeper into various aspects of THORChain and began producing content on fundamental DeFi concepts like Liquidity Pools to cater to newcomers seeking clarity. Often, such information was either nonexistent or difficult to find.

Over the Years:

  • Chris has had the privilege of guiding many individuals on their journey into the crypto realm. This fulfilling experience has reinforced GrassRoots Crypto’s purpose and vision—to empower individuals through education and support as they navigate the exciting world of cryptocurrencies.
  • Chris has also explored various other areas of crypto to round out his knowledge, enabling him to better assist a broader range of people.
