Editor & Writer

Hi, I’m Steven Walgenbach — a crypto journalist, editor, and SEO-focused content strategist with over a decade of experience in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space. Over the past several years, I’ve worked closely with leading crypto media outlets, combining hands-on editorial management with data-driven SEO and affiliate content strategies designed to grow traffic, rankings, and conversions.

I’ve held editor and writer roles at publications such as InsideBitcoins and Coinpaper, where I was responsible for assigning and editing stories, optimizing content using SEO tools like Surfer SEO and Google Search Console, and producing high-performing affiliate content. My work has spanned daily news coverage, technical analysis, long-form guides, and educational content, always with a strong focus on accuracy, clarity, and search visibility.

Beyond traditional media, I actively publish crypto news and analysis on Binance Square, allowing me to stay closely connected to market sentiment and emerging narratives while continuing to build and engage a global readership. I also bring a technical background in computer science and blockchain consulting, which helps me bridge the gap between complex technology and accessible, reader-friendly content.

What I’m Open To

I’m currently open to opportunities across:

  • Crypto & fintech journalism (writer or senior writer roles)
  • Editorial and managing editor positions
  • SEO-focused content strategy roles
  • Affiliate content and growth-focused publishing roles
  • Content lead or editor roles within Web3, blockchain, or AI-driven platforms

I’m equally comfortable in hands-on writing roles or positions that blend editorial leadership, SEO strategy, and content optimization. I’m particularly interested in teams building high-quality, scalable content operations in crypto, fintech, or emerging technology sectors.
