Most crypto writing is addressed to people who already trade. Ours is addressed to people who meet crypto in physical form – at a machine in a gas station, with cash in hand, often because they do not have a bank account that makes the alternative easy. That single fact changes what is worth publishing.
What we want
- How a mechanism works end to end – custody, settlement, refunds, and what happens when it fails
- Consumer-facing costs, including where the real margin sits rather than the advertised fee
- Reporting on the cash-to-crypto layer: operators, host businesses, compliance obligations
- Explainers that assume no prior knowledge and still tell an informed reader something new
What we decline
- Price predictions and “where will X be in 2027”
- Token or presale promotion in any form
- Rewrites of whatever currently ranks
- Anything framing crypto as guaranteed returns
A pitch that would work
Why a machine holds its quoted rate for only ninety seconds, what the operator is hedging against, and what that hedge costs you – with the arithmetic shown.
Rates
Submissions are currently free. We are building this section and would rather have good cryptocurrency reporting than early revenue, so there is no fee to submit or to publish right now. Paid placement will open later; when it does it will be clearly labelled and the editorial standards on this page will not change.
What payment will never buy: a directory listing, a better position in it, or publication of something that fails fact-checking. See the sponsored content policy and our affiliate disclosure.
Requirements
- 1,000-1,500 words, original, not published anywhere else.
- Sources linked inline to primary material – filings, fee schedules, operator records.
- A real author bio and a verifiable identity.
- We edit for accuracy and house style, and we fact-check before publishing. See our editorial process.
- Unfamiliar terms are defined in our crypto glossary – use it rather than re-explaining basics.
Questions
Do you accept beginner-level explainers?
Yes, if they are accurate and add something. A piece that explains custody clearly and correctly is more useful than a shallow take on a complex topic. What we decline is the fifth rewrite of an article that already ranks.
Can I include a link to my product?
One relevant link is fine and will be marked appropriately if the placement is paid. An article built around the link, with content as filler, is declined regardless of payment.
How long does review take?
We read everything. We do not reply to every pitch. A completed draft that fits gets a response faster than an idea that needs shaping.
Other subjects we accept
We run a separate brief for each subject because what makes a good cryptocurrency piece is not what makes a good piece elsewhere. Pick the one that fits:
- Write for us: Bitcoin
- Write for us: Ethereum
- Write for us: Bitcoin ATMs
- Write for us: blockchain
- Write for us: DeFi
- Write for us: crypto mining
- Write for us: crypto security and scams
- Write for us: crypto regulation and compliance
- Write for us: crypto exchanges
- General submissions
Before you pitch
Read something we have published, and look at the ATM directory – it is the centre of the site and the reason our standards on sourcing are what they are. Then send the topic, your angle, and one sentence on what makes it different from what already ranks.
