From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

A tumultuous couple of months for bitcoin saw the cryptocurrency hit a new all-time high before losing more than half its value in a spectacular crash that rippled through the market.

Its volatile price movements have been mirrored by other leading cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ether), Cardano (ada) and Binance Coin.

To help make sense of this chaotic time, The Independent has invited two experts to provide insight and offer their forecasts for the space.

Dr Paul Ennis, an assistant professor at University College Dublin whose research focusses on cryptocurrency, and Fred Schebesta, a crypto advocate and founder of comparison platform Finder.com, will join us.

They will give readers of TheIndependent an opportunity to ask anything they like about bitcoin and the crypto space.

What impact will El Salvador’s decision to adopt bitcoin as legal tender have? Are we going to see a record-breaking recovery following the latest crash? And what developments in the DeFi and crypto world are they most excited about?
