Bitcoin coverage here is practical rather than ideological. Our readers are trying to buy, sell, hold or move it without losing money to fees or mistakes, and most of them are doing it with cash. We are not interested in whether Bitcoin wins; we are interested in what it costs and how it behaves.
What we want
- Fee mechanics: network fees versus service fees, why they move, when a transaction stops being economic
- Custody in practice – what actually happens when someone loses a seed phrase, and what recovery involves
- Confirmation times and mempool behaviour, explained for someone standing at a machine watching “pending”
- Lightning and other layers, judged on whether an ordinary person can use them yet
What we decline
- Halving and price-cycle speculation
- Maximalist or anti-Bitcoin polemic – we cover it as infrastructure, not as a cause
- “Is Bitcoin dead” and its mirror image
- Anything recommending an allocation
A pitch that would work
What actually happens to a Bitcoin ATM purchase between inserting the cash and the coin arriving: the queue, the fee, and every way it can fail.
Rates
Submissions are currently free. We are building this section and would rather have good Bitcoin 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 cover Bitcoin price at all?
Only where price mechanics explain a cost – why a quote expires, why a spread widens during volatility. We do not publish forecasts.
Is technical depth welcome?
Yes, provided it lands somewhere practical. Explain mempool dynamics if the payoff is helping a reader understand why their purchase is still pending.
Can I write about Lightning?
Yes. The test is honesty about current usability – including where onboarding is still too hard for a non-technical user.

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.
