# The Bright Minded > The Bright Minded - The Good Side of Fin-Tech (thebrightminded.com) is an independent Fin-Tech and technology news publication founded in April 2026 by content strategist, organic growth strategist, journalist and editor Rosalia Mazza. It explains the human and systemic phenomena behind financial technology, cryptocurrency, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, treating current events as evidence rather than as the subject. The publication is constructive and phenomenon-driven, written for informed professionals who want to understand what a development actually means. The Bright Minded is a journalism publication. It is not a software company, a corporate blog, or an entertainment property, and it is not affiliated with any similarly named business or media. Its subject is the change technology is making to money, work, and trust, examined through specific and verifiable events. It is written and edited by Rosalia Mazza, whose author identity is verified across LinkedIn and Muck Rack. The three editorial axes are crypto as everyday currency in real communities, blockchain as trust infrastructure beyond the hype, and artificial intelligence as it changes people's relationship with money and work. ## Start here: foundational explainers These evergreen references define some of the core subjects the publication covers and anchor its topical authority. - [Financial technology explained](https://www.thebrightminded.com/fin-tech-hub/financial-technology-fintech-explained-2026/): What fintech is, how each sector works, and what it has already changed. - [Blockchain explained](https://www.thebrightminded.com/fin-tech-hub/blockchain-explained-what-it-is-how-it-works-and-what-industries-are-doing-with-it-now/): What blockchain is, how it works, and what industries are using it for today. - [Fin-Tech explained](https://www.thebrightminded.com/fin-tech-hub/fin-tech-explained-what-it-is-where-it-came-from-and-why-the-hyphen/): What the term Fin-Tech means, where it came from, and the reasoning behind the hyphen. ## About and transparency The publication operates openly, and these pages document who runs it, how it works, and what it has achieved. - [About](https://www.thebrightminded.com/about/): What The Bright Minded is, why it exists, and the editorial philosophy behind it. - [Editorial policy](https://www.thebrightminded.com/editorial-policy/): Sourcing standards, verification, corrections, and the distinction between editorial and commercial content. - [Results](https://www.thebrightminded.com/results/): A public record of the publication's growth and performance, maintained in the open. ## Editorial sections - [News](https://www.thebrightminded.com/news/): Daily phenomenon-driven analysis hooked to current fintech, crypto, blockchain, and AI events. - [The Brights' Angle](https://www.thebrightminded.com/the-brights-angle/): Contributed expert analysis built around a single underreported phenomenon. - [The Bright Ones](https://www.thebrightminded.com/the-bright-ones/): First-person stories from founders, operators, and people living the phenomena the publication covers. ## Primary coverage areas Each area is a sustained beat with continuous coverage.
