Bitcoin, Blockchain & Black Wealth: Cryptocurrency Demystified with Prof. Tonya Evans

The Future of Money Isn’t Coming. It’s Here.

If the word “crypto” makes you nervous, overwhelmed, or convinced it’s just another scam — you’re not alone.

But the truth is, this digital economy isn’t waiting for any of us to catch up. And if we don’t start getting curious, we’re going to keep getting left behind.

This week on The Docs Get Money Podcast, I sat down with Professor Tonya M. Evans — a powerhouse attorney, fintech expert, and one of the most trusted educators in the crypto space — to break it all the way down. No jargon. No hype. Just truth, strategy, and clarity about what it means to build and protect wealth in a world that’s already gone digital.

From Big Law to Blockchain

Professor Evans is a former law professor who walked away from academia to become a full-time consultant, speaker, and educator in the crypto and intellectual property world. She’s helping everyday professionals — especially Black professionals — understand what’s changing in finance, how to protect what we create, and how to stop watching from the sidelines while the world builds new rules around money, legacy, and ownership.

We talked about what cryptocurrency actually is, how Bitcoin works, and why so many of us feel intimidated by conversations that were never designed to include us. But Prof. Evans doesn’t gatekeep — she teaches. And she does it with such clarity and power that even if you’ve never cracked open a crypto wallet, this episode will shift how you think about your finances, your freedom, and your future.

Knowledge Is Currency

This conversation isn’t just about crypto. It’s about intellectual property. It’s about protecting your genius. It’s about wealth strategies we were never taught — but absolutely deserve to know.

So many of us are sitting on content, creations, and ideas that could be monetized, licensed, or scaled. But without the right protection? It’s vulnerable. And without the right education? It’s underutilized.

Prof. Evans breaks down why defining your IP is the first step to defending it — and how to stop building in silence while everyone else cashes in.
