SPEAKING AND LIVE EVENTS

Staci is a dynamic Bitcoin educator, content creator, and community organizer based in the greater Chicago area. A hairstylist by trade, she is the first and only salon owner in Chicago to accept Bitcoin for services, and she actively works to onboard local vendors into the Bitcoin economy. Her mission is to make Bitcoin approachable, useful, and empowering for everyday people.

TOPICS I LOVE TO SPEAK ON

Bitcoin for everyday people
How to make Bitcoin less intimidating and more useful in real life for families, small business owners, and regular working people.

Sovereignty and self trust
Why Bitcoin is more than price charts and how it helps people reclaim time, energy, and direction in their lives.

Boots on the ground adoption
Lessons from accepting Bitcoin in my salon, onboarding local vendors, and building community from Chicago to Nigeria.

Women in Bitcoin and financial confidence
Helping women feel confident with money, self custody, and their own voice in a space that can feel very male and very technical.

Community, culture, and the human side of Bitcoin
Stories from The Bitcoin Nova and The Hive Minded about how Bitcoin intersects with family, faith, grief, hope, and personal transformation.

Grassroots organizing and local action
Midwest meetups, Illinois Bitcoin Council work, Altgeld Bitcoin Reserve, and how anyone can start right where they are.
