Crypto Ruble Coins is produced by a small, independent editorial desk — a handful of named contributors (currently Olivier Acuna, Stanislas Pogorzelski, and Bernard Condon) working alongside the collective Crypto Ruble Coins editorial desk. We are always interested in real, credentialed crypto and money-layer writers who share our standards.
How contributing works
We consider contributors through a moderated process. We verify identity and relevant expertise, discuss ideas before commissioning, and edit and fact-check every piece to the same standard as staff work. Every contributor publishes under a real byline with a public profile — we never publish under invented personas, fabricated headshots, or a bare “admin” account.
What we look for
- Genuine expertise or reporting experience in crypto, CBDCs, stablecoins, security, or financial regulation.
- Plain-English writing that explains before it opines, and that treats sensitive topics (sanctions, regulation, risk) as reporting rather than how-to.
- A commitment to primary sources, honest framing, and our “not financial or legal advice” and non-facilitation stance.
- A willingness to disclose any relevant financial interests so we can manage conflicts.
What working with us is like
We are a small desk, so contributing here means real editorial attention rather than volume for its own sake. You’ll work directly with an editor, keep your own byline, and cover topics that matter to a global, money-layer audience. We value clarity over jargon, accuracy over speed, and independence over access. If that sounds like the kind of place you want your name attached to, we’d like to hear from you — whether you write regularly or have one well-sourced story that fits our beat.
What we do not do
We do not run an open guest-post link farm, we do not accept pay-to-publish placements or sponsored posts dressed as editorial, and we do not sell bylines. If a pitch is really an attempt to place links or promote a product, it isn’t for us. Advertising and disclosed partnerships are handled separately and transparently — see advertise and our affiliate disclosure.
What contributing involves
Commissioned pieces go through the same workflow as everything we publish: an editor discusses the angle, you report and write it, and it is edited and fact-checked before it runs — with an added compliance check on money-layer, CBDC, sanctions, and regulation topics. We ask for primary sources, honest framing, and adherence to our “not financial or legal advice” and non-facilitation stance. In return, your work is edited seriously, published under your own byline and profile, and stands as part of a genuinely independent publication rather than a content mill.
How to apply
Send a short introduction, your relevant background and areas of expertise, and two writing samples via our contact page, marked “Contributor.” Tell us what you’d want to cover and why you’re the right person to cover it. If you have relevant disclosures — holdings, employment, or advisory roles that could bear on your coverage — mention them; disclosure is part of how we manage conflicts, not a disqualifier. We read every serious application, though we can’t always reply to each one.
Not financial or legal advice. Crypto Ruble Coins is an independent news and education publication. It is not a cryptocurrency exchange, a currency-conversion or off-ramp service, or a payment facilitator, and it does not facilitate sanctions evasion. Crypto is volatile and high-risk.
