Testimonials
We have witnessed CryptoEQ work tirelessly to build the crypto ecosystem in the communities in which they operate. The Texas Blockchain Council is proud to partner with CryptoEQ on their educational efforts as we work together to make Texas and the U.S. the jurisdiction of choice for bitcoin, blockchain, and crypto.
— Lee Bratcher, Founder of Texas Blockchain Council
Bitcoin is the world’s first decentralized cryptocurrency built upon open-source software and blockchain technology that enables a global, permissionless, and peer-to-peer financial settlement layer as well as a pseudonymous, immutable, and censorship-resistant store of value. It is the world’s first (and largest) unfalsifiable, digitally-scarce asset that removes the need to trust and rely on payment processors, banks, or governments in order for one to participate in the global economy.
