Ain't sure about CCN. They became full retard tabloid with close to zero crypto content.

I/we run a news site/blog/whatever in a small country as well, but if we would purely focus on crypto topics, we couldn't survive. So opening to mainstream topics is kinda necessary here (while also keeping our main narrative and even smuggling hints, sentences, paragraphs about cryptos in to the mainstream targeted contents). We are doing it since 2016, wanna expand and try us out internationally, even in other fields (adult industry + crypto - after seeing the domain name seriously made me thinking, I was thinking on something similar to livejasmin - but with crypto Cheesy

) but we don't even dream about selling it one day for 100x or even 10x return. Media is an arduous process if you build things from scratch. Blogging is just blogging.

CCN made a conscious decision in 2018 to start pivoting towards mainstream and yeah, the biggest money in media is currently in tabloid and clickbait. That is what they do now. But considered as upstart among The Sun, Bild, Guardian etc. those are decades old prints. I am in doubt if their domain name change will help this type of endeavour. Shorter domain names do help brand recognition but still, if they write for morons, and in a populist manner, they will get morons and populists.

I guess, everyone strives to offer the best quality, but for that...well you need funds and after a certain level, you can't just add more working hours while you lack sufficient funds in order to achieve the desired quality. You have to buy the expertise.

If the thread starter would say, that bring your idea, I bring my domain plus certain level of investment (having skin in the game) then its worth thinking to partner...

What a thoughtful comment. You clearly understand quite a bit about the crypto media space and the media space in general.

Yeah the big crypto information platforms can focus on crypto-only, but it's tougher for everyone else, and you're right, CCN pivoted hugely towards mainstream content.

There's certainly an opportunity for a platform that combines crypto with cams or even crypto with escorts. In many countries it's legal and tolerated in many more. Just going with cams, it's a really obvious opportunity which no doubt projects are working on right now, but still the op is there.

The way I see it the real opportunity in the crypto space isn't setting up one platform or one blog/news site, but working to connect a group of crypto site owners to work together. It's much easier to build platforms faster if you can already use the traffic from other platforms - building exposure is easier and quicker, expansion is faster. Everyone in the group makes more and becomes more successful than they would individually. That's what I'll really like to work towards.

For every one person that is trying to set up good businesses in the crypto space there are 100 people who just want to make some fast cash however they can without any kind of effort, it's the worst thing about the crypto industry.

Drop me a message if you're interested in discussing a bit more.. would be interested to see your blog/news site that you're trying to go international with, maybe we can collab some how.
