About the Company

Coinsider is a media company that covers the crypto space. Our largest platform is YouTube, where we have 270,000 subscribers. We also have a newsletter that launched recently and is rapidly growing. We plan on launching many more media products, but for now, we’re looking for a scriptwriter to help us level up our content quality and our throughput. In terms of our videos, we take pride in our balanced views. We aren’t afraid to share contrarian views, but only if it’s backed by facts and we believe in them. In terms of tone, we don’t like fluff and hype, but we’re also not super professional either. We like to keep things casual and approachable. We have a team of ~10 people, distributed around the world. You’d be joining a team of researchers, designers, editors, content strategists, and more.
