Get Paid to Write About Crypto? Doug Polk Says Yessir!
If you are looking for more ways to monetize your love of Crypto, Doug Polk the poker star and middling crypto evangelist has a site, Coin Central that he launched a few months ago (PokerPractice, Cardschat) to help you do just that.
After watching Doug's most recent video about SHOTS FIRED! Vitalik Buterin Declares WAR On Coin Desk, it seems he is looking to add to the roster of writers on the (his? more on that below) site:
Do you want to join one of the best writing teams in the cryptocurrency world?You may have seen our articles somewhere - they have been shared by the likes of Tim Draper, John McAfee, as well as projects such as NEO, Monero, IOTA, and many more.
Our articles frequently get shared, liked, and upvoted tens of thousands of times on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit.
Why do people love our content? It all comes down to our writers. We’ve been able to attract some of the best writers in the cryptocurrency world that are passionate about the projects they write about and the evolution of the blockchain ecosystem.
And if you TRULY want to up your crypto-game, you can even apply to be an original content generator for the site (and I'm assuming, make even more bank) as an Analyst.
Overall its a fairly flashy-looking site that appears to be positioning itself as a rival to Coindesk for news and hence bills itself as follows:
CoinCentral is an independent publication covering news and information on cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and their underlying blockchain technology.
Given Polk's recent video concerning Coindesk's potential conflicts of interests in their reporting, the only bone of contention I have with Polk's own website is its completely opaque managing interests -- the sites About section is a single line (the quote above forms its totality) and without being directed towards the the website by the man himself, I would be clueless about where this 'independent' coverage is originating from.
But if you're looking to make some bank writing about crypto-- why not give it a shot and apply!

STOPHey @apprenticecrypto,
I just wanted to feedback on your suggestion about me going for Coin Central Content Creator job you mentioned in this post!
I applied answering a series of unexpectedly serious questions, and they came back with an interview response which I was not expecting very quickly.
I could not commit the time required for the position due to my day job, and so I had to turn it down, unfortunately!
Here is a screenshot of their initial email (with names redacted):
I want to thank you for presenting me with this opportunity and if there is anything I can do for you in the future let me know.
Best Regards,
@Shenobie
