Consider This from NPR - Cryptocurrency: The Future Of Investing Or A Scam?

During the Super Bowl, clever ads from cryptocurrency companies urged a mainstream audience of 101 million viewers to buy now or regret it later. But besides high-minded rhetoric, what exactly were these ads selling? And why are some critics warning against investing?

To understand the arguments for and against investing in cryptocurrency, you have to get a bit technical. YouTuber, Dan Olson helps us understand these digital currencies, how they function, what you can buy with them and the ideology behind the tech.

We'll hear why Chinese dissident artist, Badiucao, thinks NFT's – non-fungible tokens – are the new frontier for political art. And critics explain why the crypto craze may be a market bubble and a scam.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Located near the city of Masvingo in Central Zimbabwe are the ruins of one of the greatest civilizations of the Middle Ages. 


When European explorers first discovered the ruins, they simply couldn’t believe that it was built by native Africans. 


Subsequent archeological investigations show not just that they were wrong, but that the civilization which was there had contact with some of the furthest reaches of the known world. 


Learn more about Great Zimbabwe, one of Africa’s greatest empires, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
