At the time of the Spanish Inquisition, thousands of heretics, Muslims and Jews were forced to convert to Christianity or be killed. You are probably thinking, “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition” from Monty Python, but that’s not where I’m going here.

Although many Jews did convert to Catholicism, they continued to secretly practice their Jewish customs such as lighting candles for the Sabbath, eating unleavened bread (Matzo) during Passover, and lighting a Menorah for Chanukah. According to Wikipedia, these secret Jews were known as Marranos or Crypto Jews.
Fast forward 500 years to New Jersey in America. Although I don’t trace myself back to Spain via Sephardic tradition, I am definitely a Crypto-Jew as I’ve purchased some Bitcoin on the Gemini Exchange.
