Crypto Altruism - Showing the World the Good of Crypto
**HELP US SHOW THE WORLD THE GOOD OF CRYPTO!**

*We are on a mission to flip the narrative around crypto, and we need your help!*

[Crypto Altruism](https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/) is a leading content platform dedicated to showing the world the good of crypto! Through our [podcast](https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/podcast) and [blog](https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/), we’ve released 191 podcast episodes across three series, over 280 blog posts, and have interviewed hundreds of pioneering leaders working at the intersection of Web3 and social impact.

We believe that an important aspect of crypto advocacy is shining a light on the positives of crypto. That is where our focus is, and will continue to be!



**Our Story**

*Isn’t crypto just for scammers and shadowy super coders?*

Drew Simon, the Founder of Crypto Altruism began exploring crypto in 2018 while working for a nonprofit organization. He was surprised by the incredible opportunities the technology presented for nonprofits and social impact organizations. However, as he tried to get others excited about these opportunities, he heard the same things over and over: *“Isn’t it just a big scam?”; “Aren’t criminals the only ones who use crypto?”; “isn’t it terrible for the environment?”*

 So he went on a mission, to change the narrative around crypto by shining a light on the positive social impact use cases enabled by this technology, and amplifying the stories of the trailblazers using crypto to build a better world.

Since then, we’ve released nearly 500 pieces of unique content, including articles, infographics, and podcast episodes, with a strong focus on advocating for and demonstrating the good of crypto.
