Content and journalism about Bitcoin, with clarity and conviction.

Who we are

Off-Chain Media is an independent media project founded by Marius, a journalist and educator focused on Bitcoin. We produce clear, rigorous, and impactful content to highlight the monetary, energy, and political transformation driven by Bitcoin.

Those we worked with

What we do

We create tailored content for Bitcoin-native companies and produce independent journalism, including:
- Documentaries
- Interviews
- Analysis articles
- Weekly video shows

Our work speaks to both newcomers and experienced Bitcoiners.

Our approach

We believe Bitcoin is a historic shift. Our goal is to contribute to it, by informing, explaining, and debating its core ideas. We take a maximalist stance and we’re not afraid to challenge opposing views.

Our formats

Written content: news, essays, and long-form articles
Video production: documentaries, short-form videos, and field reports (including one shot in El Salvador)

Team members

Karolina

Photographer, videographer, and video editor

I’m a photographer, videographer, and video editor with expertise in media production and content creation. I manage communications through social media platforms and newsletters, and I also take care of website management and updates. My work blends creative visual storytelling with strategic digital content management, helping brands maintain a cohesive presence across multiple media channels.

Marius

Journalist and founder of Off-Chain Media

Journalist and educator passionate about Bitcoin, I strive to make this often complex subject accessible to all. I produced a documentary filmed in El Salvador that pragmatically explores Bitcoin’s impact on the country. Each week, I host “Pair à Pair,” a show that delivers clear and precise analysis of Bitcoin news and protocol developments. I founded Off-Chain Media to contribute to the democratization of Bitcoin and its tools.‍

What Is E-Cash? David Chaum’s Confidential Transaction Protocol on Bitcoin

What Is E-Cash? David Chaum’s Confidential Transaction Protocol on Bitcoin

E-Cash is making a comeback in the Bitcoin ecosystem through protocols like Cashu and Fedimint. At its core lies an older idea: enabling digital payments that are as private as physical cash, without exposing every transaction to a public ledger or a centralized intermediary.

What is Citrea? The Bitcoin rollup powered by BitVM?

While Bitcoin still concentrates most of the liquidity in the crypto market, its use remains largely limited to value transfer and long-term holding. This contrasts with other ecosystems where on-chain financial applications have expanded significantly. It is within this context that Citrea emerges, aiming to make Bitcoin programmable without modifying its base protocol.

What is Rootstock? The Bitcoin sidechain for smart contracts

Bitcoin was designed as a monetary system, not as a programmable platform. Yet over the past few years, several solutions have attempted to extend its capabilities without modifying its core protocol. Rootstock fits into this trend: a sidechain aiming to bring smart contracts to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

What is the Liquid Network? Bitcoin’s private and scalable sidechain?

What is the Liquid Network? Bitcoin’s private and scalable sidechain?

Bitcoin was designed as a robust monetary system, but with intentionally limited capacity. To address these constraints, several solutions have emerged to improve its usability. Among them, the Liquid Network takes a different approach: a sidechain focused on speed, privacy, and asset issuance.

What are Ordinals, Runes, and other inscriptions on Bitcoin?

What are Ordinals, Runes, and other inscriptions on Bitcoin?

Since 2023, a new practice has emerged on Bitcoin: inscriptions. Images, text, tokens, and various files can now be recorded directly on the blockchain. Behind this shift, several protocols, Ordinals, BRC-20, and later Runes, have emerged in succession. Their appearance has expanded Bitcoin's possible use cases while reigniting a long-standing debate about the network's purpose.

What is BitVM? The protocol that enables Layer 2 rollups on Bitcoin

What is BitVM? The protocol that enables Layer 2 rollups on Bitcoin

Since its inception, Bitcoin has been designed as a simple, robust monetary system with intentionally limited programmability. Unlike blockchains such as Ethereum, it does not natively support complex smart contracts. Yet, the demand for more advanced applications on Bitcoin continues to grow, pushing developers to explore new approaches. This is where BitVM comes in.
