Who We Are
We’re Oliver Martin and Emily Brown—two neighbors, parents, and proud Gen Xers who decided to tackle the crypto world head-on.
Emily’s Story
Hi, I’m Emily! I’m 45, a mother to Jake (15) and Emma (13), and I work in marketing for a small local brand here in Melbourne. About three years ago, I started hearing about cryptocurrency and decided to explore it as a potential way to earn extra income. But every article or video I found was overwhelming—packed with technical jargon that made no sense to me.
“I’d sit down with a cup of coffee, open my laptop, and end up feeling more confused than when I started. It felt like the crypto world wasn’t made for people like me.”
That frustration sparked a fire in me. I realized there must be so many others like me—especially women—who want to understand crypto but don’t know where to begin. I’m here to show you that if I can learn it, so can you.
Oliver’s Story
Hey, I’m Oliver, a 49-year-old tradie with three boys—Jaden (18), Koby (15), and Noah (8). Being a sole trader, I’ve always looked for ways to build wealth and secure my family’s future. I’ve dabbled in real estate and stocks, but when my eldest son Jaden started talking about crypto, I figured it was time to give it a go.
“I’d ask Jaden about crypto, and he’d rattle off terms like ‘blockchain’ and ‘DeFi.’ I’d just nod, pretending I understood, but honestly, I felt completely out of the loop.”
That feeling of being “too old” to learn something new was tough. But I pushed through, and now I’m here to help others do the same.
Why We Teamed Up
It all started over a cup of coffee. We were sharing our struggles with understanding crypto when we realized we weren’t alone. Together, we decided to create CryptoXGen—a blog to demystify crypto trading for people just like us.
