Chapter 3: Higher Than We Knew
b'
In Chapters 1 and 2, Jen and Manoush decide to gamble their future on new technology that hasn\\u2019t been proven and a virtual currency that doesn\\u2019t exist yet.
\\n\\nIn this chapter, they meet up with another pair of female co-founders to confide their fears about joining the experimental journalism platform called Civil. Alyson Martin and Nushin Rashidian cover the burgeoning marijuana industry in the U.S. and are about to publish Cannabis Wire on Civil. They believe it\\u2019s their best shot at growing Cannabis Wire into a hardy, sustainable publication (pun intended). But all four women are holding their breath until Civil\\u2019s token launch because, as they discover, the stakes are higher than they knew.
