In their own words
In 2018, Blockchains LLC chief exec Jeffrey Berns purchased 67,000 acres of land in the Nevada desert. Plans to create a fully autonomous Blockchain City were never realised. After it swiftly fell out of public discourse, we began to wonder... how much of the story was never reported? Journalist Cas Piancey and data scientist Bennett Tomlin drive down to Nevada and investigate. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
