Not many people know this. I was an advisor to MARA for 2 years. Part of what I did was challenging journalists who wrote takes about Bitcoin mining that were factually unsound. I was doing this work anyway, but engaging with MARA meant I could spend a lot more time doing it, and gave me the bandwidth to write to a number of journalists directly. Result: 4 retractions, 2 changed editorial policy. Numerous article amendments. Most never wrote FUD again. Actions I took during 2025 included: - Negative articles on Bitcoin and energy rebutted: 102 - Letters to authors of those articles: 57 - Letters to researchers who published inaccurate data on Bitcoin mining: 3 - Regulators & Policymakers presented with Bitcoin pro-ESG narrative: 162 The gig ended at the start of this year, so presenting these after 6 months of having no engagement with MARA. But let me say this: I'm very grateful to them, because they played an important part in replacing the remaining non-factual accounts of Bitcoin mining in the mainstream media, by fact-driven reporting.
