It is of our inevitable interest, particularly within a society like ours, to associate ourselves with the story of The Struggler.

It’d be incorrect to say that we don’t know much about cryptocurrency. It’d be a blatant lie to claim that what we do know about cryptocurrency is good. Realistically, our knowledge of the innovation’s impact is disheartening. The first form of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was circulated in 2009.

I came of age in a church that has consistently been marred with scandal. I was 14 when the stories of systematic child abuse and the subsequent cover-ups in Boston made headlines in 2002. My parish pastor was accused of sexually assaulting a minor in the year that followed. In 2012, the bishop who confirmed

Finally we had arrived. After 20 hours of straight driving from New Mexico in a journey-across-the-country road trip in preparation for my sophomore year of college, we had arrived in Chicago to see some relatives.
