For writers
What we're looking for
We are looking to feature articles any combination of the following considerations:

- News reports relating to BSV: Events, Launches
- We are looking to answer how things can be possible
- Prefer articles submitted by people directly involved in the subject of the 'feature'.
- Articles from promoters, influencers and content creators curating and commenting on BSV projects.
What isn't included
We are not necessarily looking to feature the following:
- Charting and Technical analysis trying to forecast where the BSV exchange rates
- Unconstructive and negative criticisms of BSV projects and people without proposing their own solutions that they themselves are involved in, especially if they are largely anonymous and their identities unknown.

On the evening of 29 October 2026, about six billion dollars left Binance's wallets across ten blockchains, most of it in twenty minutes. Nobody is yet sure how. What is sure is that no blockchain failed: a company's signing system was made to sign, and it did. The largest theft in the history of the industry was a company hack.
This article is in two parts. The first says what happened, in as few numbers as the point needs, and why it was always going to happen to somewhere like Binance: what a honeypot is, why a custodial exchange is the purest one there is, and why "your wallet is no safer than theirs" misses the point entirely.
The second part is about us. When we built Creations on BSVSearch, we decided it would never hold anybody's money: your wallet pays the writer directly, and the platform separately. That choice has costs, and I name them: why you pay two parties instead of one, what happens when someone sends the wrong amount, and what the writer must look after themselves. It also makes buying an article slightly more awkward than it could be. We accepted that, because the alternative is to put ourselves in the middle of your money, and the whole point of peer-to-peer electronic cash is that nobody needs to be there.
Last night I read a letter from the CEO of MNEE App, the new name RockWallet is taking. MNEE, the dollar stablecoin they issued on BSV and Ethereum, is being retired on 30 November, and the app’s stablecoin account will hold somebody else’s dollar token instead. Alongside that come a bank account, identity checks for every customer, an end to customers outside the United States and, from 2027, full custody of customers’ assets.
My first reaction was disappointment. My second was that it did not surprise me at all. The failure itself proves little. The path the company is taking says a lot about what happens when you try to make BSV look, act and smell like fiat.
