Editorial desk
The Bitcoin Logical Desk
The Bitcoin Logical editorial desk publishes news, education and on-chain analysis under a collective byline where no individual writer has requested a public profile. Every piece is reviewed under our published editorial guidelines before it goes out.
Why a collective byline
Work published under the desk was produced and reviewed by Bitcoin Logical under the standards at our editorial guidelines. We use a collective attribution rather than inventing a person, because a fabricated writer with a stock photograph is a lie told to borrow authority.
