Do You Have What it Takes to Write Op-Ed Articles for Bitcoin.com?

We will now accept regular op-ed article submissions for the bitcoin.com news page. We want to provide crypto-enthusiasts, idea-mongers, futurists, and iconoclasts an opportunity to share their notions with the world. Our audience is truly global and my hope is to inspire the crypto-intelligentsia within our community to produce brilliant articles.

Well Written, Superbly Organized Op-Ed Wanted

With that said, I will not arbitrarily accept anything.

The article must be well written and superbly organized. It must come from a place of critical thought and considered analysis. I prefer material that is philosophically engaging, heretical, controversial, sexy, and crypto-anarchic. It should examine our ecosystem from novel and unexpected perspectives.

I WILL NOT, however, take company pitches, what-token-will-moon articles, or other business solicitations for opinion pieces. These articles will be rejected, tossed into the dumpster, and set ablaze with extreme prejudice. I will also not take pieces that have previously been published elsewhere. The material must be unique to bitcoin.com. It must also have a minimum word count of 600.

All Views Welcome

It is true, I am the gatekeeper of the op-ed section, but I will not let politics determine what articles I publish. I am open-minded. I will consider most subject matter, so long as the article meets the standards I mentioned above and is relevant to the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Submissions should be sent to op-ed@bitcoin.com.

Good luck!
