I don't know how many people have been following the story of the Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen and her recent testimony before the United States Senate. I felt like it has been incredible brave on Frances part to come out to the public and talk about the things that she has been talking in public especially about Instagram and the mental health issues that Facebook and Instagram can affect adults and kids alike.
Among all of this, we also learned that Frances has been supporting herself because she bought cryptocurrency at the right time.
She was also financially supported by a non profit run by the eBay founder Pierre Omidyar who also happens to be a well known critic of the Big Tech. She did say that she had used the funds from this firm for very limited things like travel etc.
It does seem like a lot of this financial security that she possesses is because she had purchased crypto at the right time and it seems like she has also moved now to Puerto Rico to hang out with her crypto friends.
It definitely does seem like crypto is directly or indirectly fighting big tech and crypto maybe able to pull off what the governments are unable to pull off against the Big Tech companies. Only time will tell, we should be able to wait and watch how all of this unfolds!
