Local 18-year-old helps develop Cryptocurrency website to teach beginners how to safely navigate it.
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,”

Exclusive: White House set to meet with banks, crypto companies to broker legislation compromise
Jan 28 (Reuters) – The White House on Monday will meet with executives from the banking and cryptocurrency industries to discuss a path forward for landmark crypto legislation which has stalled due to a clash between the two powerful sectors, said three industry sources.
The summit hosted by the White House’s crypto council will include executives from several trade groups. It will focus on how the bill treats interest and other rewards crypto firms can dish out on customer holdings of dollar-pegged tokens known as stablecoins, the people said.

Reuters was first to report the meeting.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The sources declined to be identified discussing private policy discussions.
“We look forward to continuing to work with policymakers across the aisle so Congress can advance lasting market structure legislation and ensure the United States remains the crypto capital of the world,” she said.
Cody Carbone, CEO of The Digital Chamber, another major crypto trade group, credited the White House with “pulling all sides to the negotiating table.”
The Senate has for months been working on the bill, dubbed the Clarity Act, which aims to create federal rules for digital assets, the culmination of years of crypto industry lobbying. Crypto companies have long argued that existing rules are inadequate for digital assets, and that legislation is essential for companies to continue to operate with legal certainty in the U.S.
The House of Representatives passed its version of the bill in July.
The Senate Banking Committee was scheduled earlier this month to debate and vote on the bill, but the meeting was postponed at the last minute, in part due to concerns among lawmakers and both industries over the interest issue.
Crypto companies say providing rewards such as interest is crucial for recruiting new customers and that barring them from doing so would be anti-competitive. Banks say the increased competition could result in insured lenders experiencing an exodus of deposits — the primary source of funding for most banks — potentially threatening financial stability.
That bill prohibited stablecoin issuers from paying interest on cryptocurrencies, but banks say it left open a loophole that would allow for third parties – such as crypto exchanges – to pay yield on tokens, creating new competition for deposits.
