WACO, Texas (KWTX) – As Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin or Litecoin, become more popular in this digital age, one local home-school student is helping other students and new users learn the basics of Cryptocurrency trading so they can safely navigate it.

For those who don’t know, Cryptocurrency is a digital currency and just another form of payment all on your phone or computer.

However, because it’s all digital and doesn’t use banks there is a risk of losing all of your investments should you get hacked, which is what the developers of “Learn2Earn Solana” hope to prevent.

One of the developers, 18-year-old Azura Bacon, was just 15-years-old when she began learning about Cryptocurrency, finding a passion for it.

“I started making NFTs and then my dad taught me more and more,” Azura shared, “I think it’s really cool how big of a community there is and how it can bring all these different people in like… basically from all over the world together”.

Explaining that for beginners it can be hard to understand and know how to properly protect your investments.

“It’s just a lot of information… I think of it as a different language that you have to learn,” Azura explained.

Making it easier for them to be hacked or scammed out of their money, which happened to Alex Bondar, a high school student in California who started cryptocurrency when he was 14.

“When I first started I didn’t know where to put my money so I just put my money somewhere, and I thought I was going to get the reach of it, but I didn’t get it,” Alex said.

Just over a month ago Azura connected with Ali Mohammed, who goes to the same school as Alex in California and has also been using cryptocurrency for years.

They immediately began bouncing ideas off of each other for a way to help other beginners.

According to Ali, “we were talking and I was like, you know I wish when I first started crypto that this was a website or like there was something that would help new users learn how to trade and how to avoid scams, learn how to analyze charts”.

Designing and launching L2E Sol, which has everything from how to get started. “Here it’s going to teach you how to get your wallet set up and get ready to start basically purchasing different coins,” Azura said.

To definitions and examples. “It shows you the different meanings, how to spot a rug with the pictures, that way you know what you’re looking at,” she explained.

And while they’re proud of what they’ve created so far, Azura says they also want to go beyond the website.

Azura: “We’re thinking about getting into like schools and universities to teach other students about cryptocurrency and teach like… basically spreading the word,”
