CoinMinutes: Committed to Supporting Every Crypto Journey
Crypto can be super confusing. All those weird terms and constantly changing info make many people just give up.
That's why we created CoinMinutes back in 2022. We wanted to translate all that complicated crypto stuff into language that makes sense.
Ever tried reading about "blockchain technology" or "decentralized finance" and felt your brain hurt? You're not alone. A University of Chicago study found 61% of people who've heard of cryptocurrency don't really get how it works.
We're here to fix that problem.
Understanding the Crypto Journey
The Many Paths into Crypto
People get into crypto for all kinds of reasons. Some want to invest. Others are curious about the technology. Many just want to understand what their friends keep talking about.
Why you're interested matters. An investor needs different info than someone who's just curious about the tech.
The scary part? The Federal Trade Commission reported Americans lost over $1 billion to crypto scams in 2021. Most victims simply didn't understand what they were getting into. Good information is your best protection, no matter why you're exploring crypto.
Why Support Matters for Newcomers
Let's be real – jumping into crypto without help is like being dropped in a foreign country without a map or translator.
Newcomers face some major hurdles:
Technical jargon that might as well be a foreign language
Information that becomes outdated super fast
Scammers specifically targeting beginners
Websites that mix facts with sales pitches
No wonder people feel overwhelmed! A Cambridge study found 58% of non-crypto users stay away mainly because they don't trust what they're reading about it.
Can you blame them?
The CoinMinutes Promise: Support for Every Step
Mission and Core Values
Our mission is pretty simple: make crypto make sense for everyone.
We don't just talk about values – we live by them:
Value
What That Means For You
Clarity
We explain stuff like we're talking to a friend
Accuracy
We update our content when facts change
Honesty
We tell you when something's an opinion
Inclusivity
We create content for all skill levels
Security
We prioritize teaching you how to stay safe
Last year, a big exchange offered us money to promote them with one condition: don't mention their recent hack. We said no. Bloomberg research shows about half of crypto content creators take payment for promotion without telling their audience. That's not us – not now, not ever.
Welcoming All Backgrounds and Experience Levels
Whether you're a complete beginner or you've been around crypto for years, we've got something for you.
Our beginner content assumes you know absolutely nothing about crypto. Our intermediate stuff builds on the basics. Our advanced materials dig deeper for the crypto veterans.
We got an email last month from a retired nurse who said: "I thought crypto was just for young tech people. Thanks to your website, I bought my first Bitcoin. My grandchildren think I'm cool now!" Those messages make our day.
Making Crypto Accessible and Understandable
Breaking Down Complex Concepts
Here's how we approach explaining tough concepts:
Instead of saying "Non-fungible tokens are blockchain-verified certificates of authenticity for digital assets with unique identification codes and metadata," we say "NFTs are like digital collectible cards. Each one is unique, and the blockchain proves who owns it."
Big difference, right?
We use simple comparisons that click:
Crypto wallets are like digital backpacks for your money
Mining is solving puzzles to earn rewards
Private keys are like the password to your email – lose it and you're locked out
A high school teacher told us she uses our articles in her economics class. That's exactly the kind of impact we're aiming for.
Multilingual and Culturally Sensitive Content
Crypto is global, so we are too. We publish in 12 languages because everyone deserves to understand crypto, no matter where they live or what language they speak.
We don't just translate – we adapt. Our examples and explanations reflect different cultural contexts. What works in the US might not make sense in Brazil or Japan.
After we doubled our Spanish language content last year, it quickly became our second most popular language. That showed us how hungry people are for clear crypto info in their native language.
Educational Initiatives at CoinMinutes
Structured Learning Paths and Courses
Think of our learning materials like a video game. You start at level 1, master the basics, then move up to tougher challenges.
Beginners learn what Cryptocurrency Market is, how wallets work, and how to use exchanges safely. Once comfortable, you can tackle more advanced topics like DeFi, staking, and detailed security practices.
The Gemini 2022 Global State of Crypto report found something interesting: 40% of non-crypto users would be more likely to invest if they understood it better. That's the gap we're filling.
After reading our "Crypto Basics" series, 84% of readers told us they felt confident enough to create their first wallet. That's the kind of impact we love to see.
Up-to-Date News and Market Insights
Crypto changes faster than fashion trends. What's true today might be outdated tomorrow.
When Ethereum completed its massive upgrade last year, we updated all our content within hours. We explained the changes like switching from gas cars to electric vehicles – same roads, different engines.
During big market drops, you won't find us saying "Buy the dip!" or blaming "weak hands." Instead, we explain what's happening, why similar things happened before, and what the real risks are.
A reader messaged us during a major price crash: "Thank you for not just saying 'hodl' when everything was crashing. Your article about previous market cycles helped me make informed decisions instead of panicking."
That's the feedback that keeps us going.
Building a Supportive Community
Forums and Peer Networks
Our forums feel different from most crypto spaces. No moon boys. No pump and dump schemes. No toxic arguments.
Just people helping people.
We keep it simple with a few ground rules:
Be kind to newbies (we were all beginners once!)
No hyping coins or promising "guaranteed returns"
Back up claims with evidence
Explain things in plain language
Research from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority shows people who regularly discuss money topics with others make better financial decisions. That's exactly what happens in our community every day.
One user called our forums "an oasis of sanity in the desert of crypto hype." We're pretty proud of that description.
Highlighting Community Contributions
Some of our best stuff comes straight from our users. A retired math teacher explained staking rewards in our comments so clearly that we asked them to write a full article about it.
We love sharing real stories from different walks of life – students using crypto to pay tuition across borders, small business owners accepting digital payments, travelers using crypto in countries with unstable currencies.
When we published a story from a Venezuelan community member explaining how crypto helped during hyperinflation, it became one of our most-shared articles ever. People connected with that real-world example in a way they never did with technical explanations.
Empowering Users with Tools and Resources
We pay close attention to how people actually use our content.
When our data showed readers weren't finishing longer videos, we created a "5-Minute Crypto" series. Completion rates jumped from 23% to 68%. People are busy – we get it!
We've also built interactive tools to help you practice concepts safely. Our wallet simulator lets you practice sending and receiving fake cryptocurrency without risking real funds.
When we noticed most beginners read our content on phones during commutes, we reformatted those articles to work better on mobile and made them shorter to fit typical commute times. Completion rates went up by 47%.
Small changes, big impact.

Upholding Integrity and Trust
Fact-Checked and Unbiased Information
Crypto myths spread like wildfire. We fight them with facts:
Common Myth
What The Data Actually Shows
"Crypto is mostly used by criminals"
Chainalysis found illegal activity made up less than 0.15% of crypto transactions in 2021
"Bitcoin wastes too much energy"
Renewable energy use in mining grew 59% last year
"Crypto has no real uses"
Millions use it for global money transfers, banking in developing countries, and protection against currency crashes
When false rumors about a major stablecoin "losing its peg" spread last year, we published an emergency fact-check explaining what was really happening (a temporary liquidity issue) with context about similar past events that resolved successfully.
That's our job – cutting through noise with facts.
Open Communication and Feedback Channels
We actually listen to our users. Crazy concept, right?
Reader feedback directly shapes our content. When you tell us something's confusing, we rewrite it. When you suggest a topic, we consider it. When you spot a mistake, we fix it.
We're not perfect. Sometimes we get things wrong, and when we do, we say so publicly. That honesty has built trust with our community.
Our reader retention rate is 78%, way above the industry average of 43% for crypto publications. We think that's because we put readers first, not sponsorship dollars.

As crypto evolves, so will we. New technologies will emerge, and we'll be there to explain them in plain language.
We're expanding our translations to reach more global audiences. We're developing more interactive learning tools. We're growing our community spaces.
