Iām one of the relatively small (but quietly growing) number of journalists who likes and understands crypto and the idea behind Web3. This sentiment grew organically out of my own work covering the Edward Snowden NSA documents as well as the impact of wars, refugee crises, and sanctions on the free movement of information and capital. The internet has the potential to be an incredibly liberating tool but at present it is unfree and thus renders its users unfree. Now that truly decentralized platforms for sharing ideas and transactions are being built there is the possibility for giving them real network effects and allowing the internet to achieve its true purpose as an engine for promoting both liberty and global community.

why do you think crypto has become a thing that the vast majority of journalists don't want to be associated with?

A lot of people are actually scared of the disruptions that crypto will cause so much so that they don't take their time to actually understand it and the great benefits it brings.
