For journalists & producers
A plain-speaking, on-the-record source on crypto, scams, and older savers
— from someone who's been burned himself.
Crypto After 50 helps people over 50 navigate crypto without the hype. If you're covering crypto, fraud, or how new regulation affects ordinary savers, I'm glad to help
— quotably, in plain English, and on deadline.
Why I might be useful to you
Most crypto commentators are either evangelists or doom-mongers shouting past each other. I'm neither. I run an education site that helps people over 50 understand crypto in plain English — calmly, and without ever telling anyone what to buy.
I'm also unusual in one way that tends to make for a good interview: I lost money in crypto myself. I'll talk about that openly, and about what it taught me — no spin, no jargon, and no trying to sell your audience anything.
Story angles I can speak to
Ready-made segments, each with a fresh angle:
- Why older people are the No. 1 target for crypto scams — the cons, the red flags, and how families can protect their parents.
- “I lost money in crypto” — a first-person, cautionary, ultimately constructive story.
- What new US crypto regulation actually means for ordinary savers — a focus on the CLARITY Act, translated out of the legalese.
- How to talk to your parents (or your kids) about crypto — without it ending in a row.
- Crypto for the cautious — what a sensible over-50 should understand before going anywhere near it.
Happy to tailor an angle to your audience — just ask.

I aim to reply the same day.
Nothing on this website is financial advice. I'm an educator, not a financial adviser. Cryptocurrency is volatile and you can lose money — never invest more than you can comfortably afford to lose, and consider speaking to a regulated financial adviser before making any investment decision.
