2. The Queen of Bitcoin: The Rise and Fall

This is the true story of a young woman whom the Wall Street Journal dubbed “The Queen of Bitcoin,” chronicling her spectacular rise….and sudden fall.

You don’t have to know much about bitcoin before you see the show. Margaux will simply and concisely explain bitcoin and blockchain to you near the top of the proceedings, so that even those who profess to be mystified by cryptocurrency will be able to follow the narrative.

Margaux emerged from average beginnings and found as a young woman that she had an exceptional talent for entrepreneurship, co-creating and serving in executive positions in a number of web-based companies and enterprises. She continued to prosper as she headed into the worlds of cryptocurrency and high finance. But cryptocurrency is very much a boys’ club, and she finds herself treated dismissively (at first) because of her gender, and experiences sexual harassment (she’s attractive). A number of the executives with whom she comes in contact are also substance abusers, wildly partying and over-ingesting stuff from alcohol to LSD.

Nonetheless, she continues to soar as the Wall Street Journal proclaims her crypto-royalty. Also having a profile as a stand-up comedian, she’s invited to MC the FTX Conference in the Bahamas. FTX, the exchange founded by Samuel Bankman-Fried, won’t be around long (you’ll know this if you read the news), and Margaux’s fortunes will sink with it.

The Queen of Bitcoin: The Rise and Fall is the story of a daring woman, a feminist adventure, and a cautionary tale about money. Because Margaux is an experienced comedian, her tale is told with a significant degree of humor.

Written, performed and produced by Margaux Avedisian.
