Who is Crypto Wendy anyway? 

Wendy is a former healthcare professional turned crypto trader and content creator, or what she describes as a “YouTube shock jock.” 

How did she get popular on Twitter? 

Wendy puts all of her audience growth down to being authentic online, advocating for what she believes in and standing up for the underdog. 

“I just was myself, and I was authentic online. I hosted meetups, I defended people, I went after jerks [online]. I trashed the SEC and kind of stood up for the people and powered people, and I just grew my audience organically,” she says. 

“I just was doing it because I wanted to really help the underdogs and help people who grew up poor, like I did, and people that came from really fucked up backgrounds to know that they can join any industry they want and thrive.”

In the early days of her online career, a notable portion of her growth came from hosting free crypto-focused meetups. Wendy said that because the big-name events were too expensive for herself and many others, she started hosting her own gatherings to plug that gap.  

“I noticed a need for meetups and events that were affordable because all the crypto events back then, you had to pay like $1,000 to go and I grew up super poor. I didn’t have $1,000 [to spare]. I hosted over four dozen free meetups in L.A. County, and you know, across the United States, one in Canada, and then I just created the YouTube channel to livestream those events,” she said.  

What can you expect from her on Twitter? 

Wendy spends a lot of her time slamming the hawkish behavior of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other villains in the crypto space.
