⚡️🏃‍♂️TL;DR — Joe Nakamoto is going solo🏃‍♂️⚡️

Hello,

I am kicking off 2024 as an independent Bitcoin journalist and content creator 🎉

After three working in the #Bitcoin and crypto space; 7 years as a journo, and five years trying to understand (and stack) Bitcoin, I'm retirin...

..Working harder than ever by going solo! ⛏️

Consider this an announcement of an announcement ™️ as there will be further updates to come.

For now, I am no longer a reporter for Cointelegraph (so please stop DM’ing me your PRs), but you may see my face pop up on their platform in a few outstanding videos.

And don’t worry, my face will certainly continue to pop up in your feeds as I lean further into video journalism in 2024.

🔍 I want to delve deeper into delivering on-the-ground Bitcoin reporting from weird and wonderful places and query some of the dominant narratives in the Bitcoin space.

So, expect more shorts, mini-documentaries, videos, and (fingers crossed) viral content that you can share with your Gran to demonstrate that Bitcoin is, in fact, really, really quite good for the world 🌍

Or at the very least, we can agree that Bitcoin is better than fiat money 😷.

I am trying my best to publish some rather compelling content from Peru and Bulgaria on my YouTube channel before the end of February. I jet off to Africa this week, camera in hand, for more Bitcoin stories.

I'm very excited.

If you’re like “who is Joe Nakamoto,” and why is he in my feed today, check this playlist of videos I've made about Bitcoin worldwide:

That's some solid news, Joe! Going solo is a big leap, but it sounds like you're ready to carve out your own path in the Bitcoin journalism space. It takes guts and passion to step away from the comfort of an established platform.

Your focus on on-the-ground reporting is crucial; there's nothing quite like getting stories straight from the source. Plus, those mini-docs and shorts can really help spread knowledge about Bitcoin’s impact worldwide.

Looking forward to seeing what narratives you'll challenge and what new perspectives you'll bring. And it’s always a win when we can make complex topics accessible enough for Gran to get it!

Safe travels as you head off to Africa – cameras rolling and all. Keep stacking sats, keep telling those stories, and definitely keep us updated on your journey!

Cheers! 🚀🎥🌍

All the best with the new adventures 🤙

Go Joe! Free man

Congrats! Much respect for taking the risk and sticking to your morals.

Congratulations, Joe. I'm excited to see more on the ground Bitcoin content from communities all over the world.

Awesome Joe. Hope to see you feature some of your work on Stacker News.

bulgaria is amazing... spent much of the last decade there

Great news, you’re an excellent journalist and I am sure you’ll be a massive success going forward on an independent platform!
