Experienced Bitcoin Writer and Designer for HireI've been creating high-quality content for and about Bitcoin since early 2013.
My latest article for
99 Bitcoins on
anonymity made the front page of r/bitcoin.
My previous article for
BuyBitcoinsWorldWide, regarding the
growing demand for Bitcoin, also featured.
Prior to that, I helped
Luke Jr. rename and create a logo for the latest version of his Bitcoin client,
Knots: WritingWriting about Bitcoin is more than a job for me; I’m deeply invested in this project’s success, financially and intellectually.
I believe that presenting the facts about Bitcoin in a clear and accessible way is the best possible way to promote it.
Although I write knowledgably and efficiently on a variety of subjects, my focus is on Bitcoin. I sometimes dabble in
fiction and
lifestyle stuff.In the past, I’ve done medical, legal and automotive writing. I sometimes write about hobbies; gaming, DIY and permaculture.
I rarely make mistakes, grammatical or factual. I’m good with information and able to simplify complex subjects or capture rapidly-unfolding events.
If you need any type of high-quality written content, contact me here to arrange further communication via email, IM, VOIP or GPG.
Regarding style, please communicate your desired tone clearly; providing examples or a style guide is the best way to achieve this.
ArtI enjoy creating art, design, cartoons, logos and infographics. I often provide such imagery to illustrate and compliment my writing.
I’m skilled with Photoshop and working towards mastery of Illustrator. Here’s a cartoon I drew / composited to promote LocalBitcoins:
Decentralised money can stomp centralised banks and exchanges.Bitcoin JournalismI covered news and markets (in text and video format) for
CryptoCoinsNews, first as Gordon Geeko and then as Gordon Hall (when the previous owner made us wear ties).
I wrote about 80 articles and covered a number of major stories, with help from my editors, Kyle Torpey and Caleb Chen.
I’d say my best article for CCN was an interview conducted with
Greg Maxwell in February 2014,
titled
“Mt. Gox Blames Bitcoin - Core Developer Greg Maxwell Responds.” If I recall correctly, that article was read by 100k+ people over 7 days. (I await the exact figure as of this time from CCN's current owner).
If you're looking for a reporter, I’m available for opinion pieces and fresh stories; I have no interest in Reddit-recycling.
I greatly prefer working with editors who are well-versed in Bitcoin and able to judge between timeliness and perfection.
I’m currently looking for a reputable and widely-read news site to publish my exposé on a major Bitcoin Ponzi scam. Market CoverageAs a former futures and stock trader, I’m well-versed in financial and economic matters.
I currently trade Bitcoin and a few alts on an occasional basis, via online exchanges and decentralised methods.
Creating charts to illustrate any aspect of the market is no problem:
My most recent financial writing was featured on
Ofir Beigel's popular 99Bitcoins site. I composed an extensive guide to
trading Bitcoin exclusively via fiat.
As an example, I then documented a recent
live BTC trade which turned out nicely for myself and anyone shadowing the trade.
Technical WritingI recently collaborated with
Jordan Tuwiner in the creation of a comprehensive Knowledge Base for his site, BuyBitcoinsWorldWide.
The site shows newcomers the best way to acquire their first bitcoins. Hopefully my articles help to make any Bitcoin newbie’s decision to get involved an informed one.
Distilling Bitcoin to its most essential form makes it accessible to a wide audience, however this process is challenging as it requires both technical expertise and writing ability.
I’d say I have a broad knowledge of most aspects of Bitcoin. I’m working to deepen my knowledge of Bitcoin’s function by studying various developer resources.
I’ve covered a long and fascinating
list of subjects (a few are missing) for BuyBitcoinsWorldWide, including
blockchain technology. Greg Maxwell again kindly assisted by explaining a few key aspects of the technology.
Here’s an image I stitched together from open source icons to illustrate a point in that guide:
