Cryptocurrency is a maze of jargon, confusing and conflicting opinions, and an overload of information, making the truth almost impossible to find. For most people, grasping what blockchain is and what digital assets are is comparable to learning a new language while wearing a blindfold. This is the main reason why we have launched CoinMinutes.
It all started with a single mission which was actually the outcome of a major realization: one of the main reasons why crypto has failed to attract millions of people is the huge gap between the overly complex and the easily understandable. At CoinMinutes we don't merely simplify the things for our readers, we also deliver what we promise. We provide crypto concepts in common words but at the same time keep the correctness and the depth intact.
Editorial Philosophy and Standards
In our coverage of the subject, we commit to five essential principles:
Accuracy should be the most significant thing that emphasis is put on. One of the signs of our verification levels is an expert reviewer that carries out a fact-checking process using the instructions taken from reliable sources such as project documentation and code repositories, and the review in which the final explanation is compared with at least two other interpretations. At times, this makes it clear that we are publishing after others – a compromise for the stability that we prefer.
The idea of learning was given precedence over that of creating a buzz. Most of the work that we do is for the readers’ learning and not to get the attention. While we are always giving complete and prompt coverage of what is new and important, it is the understanding of the concepts that, in our view, provides real and lasting value.
We are not radical in our standpoint. Radical views are typical of the crypto world which is the main reason why it is so difficult to find the truth. We see the advantages of each argument while at the same time thinking that there may be different points of view on that particular issue. Nevertheless, as being consistent, we do not, in any way, support blindly any technology or method.
We do not pretend that the complexity and the risk are also there in crypto. Cryptocurrency is not an exception to the complexities and risks and we do not pretend differently. We, however, do not refrain from making these parts comprehensible to the readers without, of course, undermining their importance.
Our work revolves around long-term objectives. Most of the crypto discussions are speculative in nature, at first, and only a few of them are growth-oriented. The greater part of our talk is about mastering the subject which will, in turn, provide long-term value regardless of the market situation.
Integrity is the main factor which allows a company to be trusted. The company gets trust by proving that it has this feature consistently. We are very rigorous in our distinctions between news, analysis, and opinion. News deals only with facts. On the contrary, analysis evaluates the implications of the facts presented and considers different viewpoints. Besides that, opinion pieces are recognized, and they give reasons rather than statements.
We do not hide that we may have interests that are contrary to the reader’s interests. If there are such projects among the people working here or our partners, we not only point out those connections right at the beginning of the articles but also carry out an additional review.
Coinminutes Cryptocurrency cannot do everything that has educational value, is important for the ecosystem, or interesting for the readers. Writing about is our way of deciding which topics meet these three criteria. No coverage should be simply the result of a promotion or a hype cycle.
We also cover the different viewpoints but still hold that having clear regulations would be a good thing for the crypto industry even if some projects would have to face difficulties in complying with them. This opinion dictates our work manner but does not influence our final decisions.
The CoinMinutes Difference: Our Educational Approach
Getting proficient in difficult areas cannot be accomplished simply by granting access to data - it calls for a specific framework. This is the manner in which we handle it:
We not only clarify, but also separate the clarifications. Instead of bombarding you with the entire blockchain concept, we only gradually present the idea. Thus, you have manageable lessons that are interconnected with what you already know.
Our educational progression leads the users through the topics from basic to advanced ones via a series of articles.
Any type of learner can get advantage from the visualization. Complex interactions can be understood by means of pictures and in case of tools, by which you change the settings and see the results.
Besides that, we deliver the actual instances and case studies illustrating how the concepts work in the real world.
Most crypto journals treat their traffic as a measure of their success. In comparison with them, we define success in another way. Usefulness goes before traffic. We would be more happy if we publish a guide which makes 1,000 readers able to take better decisions rather than publishing a clickbait headline that gets 100,000 views but doesn't teach anything.
Agreeing with this view, our production is less frequent but we put more work into each article to be sure that the answers to your questions come before your questions.
The crypto community is a collective of people whose understanding varies substantially. To cater to the requirements of these different groups, we produce distinct content for each of them:
We help beginners to understand topics by offering them simple explanations and a gradually growing glossary, guides which explain the very basics such as public/private keys and blockchain consensus, and by giving them the tips on how to avoid the common mistakes.
By dissecting tokenomics, governance frameworks, and technical specifications, outlining the strategic aspects of getting involved in different ecosystems, and illustrating how the seemingly separate developments that lead to the bigger trends of the industry are in fact interwoven, we dedicate more work and detail to the projects and technologies for the enthusiasts.
We deliver technical deep dives into protocol architectures and code implementations, sophisticated market analysis through different economic models, and exposure to the happening-trends and the cutting-edge crypto developments to the most advanced readers.
