***Click the image above to watch our video.*** ## Facts First --- **Today, we’ve got a fun one for you all the start off the weekend.** Earlier last year, [CNN put out the following video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuTEeCNBfYE) in order to combat the White House’s claim that mainstream media was filled with ‘fake news’ and the legitimacy of their reporting should be questioned. It became an infamous and still ongoing battle between the accounts of higher government and the news sources that were reporting on them. **Regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum, we can all agree that this commercial jab fits perfectly with the way cryptocurrency is being misunderstood and in many cases even purposefully misrepresented.** There’s a great deal of intense FUD being spread for various reasons and we thought there should be more ways for us as a community to cut through that attitude and encourage a more welcoming, transparent, and even fun environment for those interested in getting involved with cryptocurrency and blockchain. ## Steemit is an Educational Forum for Cryptocurrency --- **We believe that Steemit is a powerful forum and social resource for the cryptocurrency community at large.** Tying cryptocurrency-education with the premier blockchain social-media platform can be an effective strategy… not just for the growth of our community here on Steemit, but for greater awareness as a whole. So enjoy the video, share it with friends and those swamped in FUD, and enjoy the weekend! ---
