Plus the latest news on fundraising and people in impact.
Hello Impact Nation,
Some people think of Bitcoin as weird gold.
Bitcoin is gold for nerds.
— Stephen Colbert, Comedian
Half of the financial headlines agree that it’s time to sell your Bitcoin. The other half? They argue exactly the opposite, of course.
They all miss the point (… except Stephen Colbert. He’s funny and we love him, so he’s right even when he’s wrong.)
In the media business, they say “Good deeds don’t make good headlines”.
There is much more than the Bitcoin price going up and down.
