Greenwood gives them the ability to do their banking with the phones right in our hands. This is our time to take back control of our lives and our financial future”

"And I had an interesting conversation with Killer Mike, who's a rapper. And we've had many great conversations before coming to the bubble, things we should try to do to bring more awareness to the situation and then try to build up our communities through our platform as well," "And he had similar sentiments and saying, you know, it's interesting how we've been all over the world, but, you know, at the end of the day, we still would rather live here. And that's a struggle in the mind, constantly just looking for a place in the world where we're accepted as equals"
