At MetaMesh, we’re passionate about blockchain, and as a new publication, we’re looking for authors that are too.
As the technology matures, the everyday realities may not live up to the unlimited promise of blockchain. So, we think it’s important to balance the hype by exploring the everyday concerns of businesses and individuals who are trying to implement this technology and learn about this rapidly expanding industry.
We are interested in submissions about the intersectionality of blockchain and your perspective on the world. Whether you are a blockchain enthusiast or are a skeptical detractor, your story is welcome!
To keep things simple for reviewing these submissions, we will consider blockchain to include:
- Decentralized applications (aka dApps)
- Cryptocurrency
- Distributed ledger technology (aka DLT), such as Hyperledger
For ideas, here are some topics we are interested in:
Security and Privacy
- Personal experiences with losing your crypto key and if you were able to recover it
- What strategies you use to make sure that your crypto is safe, including using multiple types of wallets and exchanges to de-risk your portfolio
- A security expert’s opinion on the risks and challenges to widespread adoption of blockchain
- Self-sovereign identity (SSID)/digital identity (DID) and how they are meant to combat the erosion of personal privacy on the internet
Crypto Winter
- How has crypto winter affected your opinion of blockchain and crypto?
- Stories from people who gave up and left the blockchain and crypto space
- Stories from people who stuck through or have come back to blockchain and crypto after leaving because of crypto winter
