That's some solid news, Joe! Going solo is a big leap, but it sounds like you're ready to carve out your own path in the Bitcoin journalism space. It takes guts and passion to step away from the comfort of an established platform.

Your focus on on-the-ground reporting is crucial; there's nothing quite like getting stories straight from the source. Plus, those mini-docs and shorts can really help spread knowledge about Bitcoin’s impact worldwide.

Looking forward to seeing what narratives you'll challenge and what new perspectives you'll bring. And it’s always a win when we can make complex topics accessible enough for Gran to get it!

Safe travels as you head off to Africa – cameras rolling and all. Keep stacking sats, keep telling those stories, and definitely keep us updated on your journey!

Cheers! 🚀🎥🌍
