Yep, agreed. A lot of my investigative pieces were thrown out or brushed over while i was at Cointelegraph. Eg: showing how, from A to Z, Bitboy and other crypto influencers, scam people. (i even interviewed with Bitboy for a job to show how the scam works). I pitched BM for a few similar ideas but they went cold. I still managed to expose a few truths—egs i reported on two exchanges' insolvency before they froze withdrawals. One of the funniest was me asking the CEO of Zipmex about his company when I had it on good authority that they were insolvent during the Celsius collapse. He confirmed on the phone to me they were solvent. All is fine bla bla bla. So i published an article with headline: "Zipmex CEO counters rumours of insolvency" bla bla. And had to publish a BREAKING article literally 20 minutes later saying ZIPMEX IS INSOLVENT. My call had forced his hand. I'm now independent but i have money from sponsors. Goes without saying that the sponsorship money distorts my view. The space needs MUCH MUCH better journalism. Kudos to you. I'd like to help where I can with ideas and scoops.

I used to watch Bitboy back in the day a lot. Until I found that there is actually tech bitcoin news and podcasts. Curious to read how they scam people. Was it through their nft programs?
