This is what real investigative journalism looks like.
Ian Burrell, who was a big #Bitcoin sceptic, came to Africa with us with an open and curious mind. Through the trip and meeting people where they were, found a narrative outside of what he thought.

Reinforces how hard it is to stop an idea based on truth, hope and abundance, because “eventually” good people will discover it for themselves.

Great case study, and a good entry point for anyone still believing all the superficial negative nonsense long peddled in the mainstream about Bitcoin and energy.

One day soon it’ll be “X person came to COUNTRY with us, and saw the COUNTRY/TRIBE village doing Y thing”… Anyways - yes, yes - real investigative journalism good
