Lea Thompson, known as Girl Gone Crypto, refuses to bore her 225,000 Twitter followers with mundane “breaking” news tweets about cryptocurrency. She believes that using “breaking” to share news that is already widely known is unoriginal and lacks personality. Instead, Thompson prefers to add her own spin to the latest news, provide interesting commentary, or crack jokes to give her followers something unique. Her quirky mindset and ukulele playing initially gained her attention in the crypto space, leading to invitations to speak at various events. Thompson left her corporate job in 2019 to focus on crypto full-time and has since become a Twitter sensation. She attributes her growth on Twitter to consistently showing up every day rather than relying on viral moments. Thompson’s content is short, snappy, funny, and entertaining, offering a refreshing break from the serious and technical content prevalent in the industry. She follows a mix of notable names in the crypto space and enjoys following influencers who bring a lighthearted and humorous approach to their content. While she refrains from getting involved in Twitter drama, she loves memes and finds them a refreshing break from technical jargon. Thompson is cautious about making price predictions but expresses optimism about Bitcoin’s future, especially with the potential approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that would facilitate easier entry for investors.
