This week on Decentralize with Cointelegraph, we’re diving into the often-overlooked engine behind crypto’s public perception: opinion pieces. Joining us are Cath Jenkin, Cointelegraph’s opinion editor; Nikki Brown, chief strategy officer of Melrose PR; and Amal Ibraymi, legal counsel at Aztec Network. Together, we unpack the true power of op-eds in shaping discourse, influencing policy and guiding readers through the chaos of crypto commentary.
