Use the hook as the title (e.g., "Bitcoin just hit $70k. Here’s why it’s going higher.")

Source Your News (The Research Phase)

You don’t need to be a journalist; you need to be a synthesizer. Your job is to aggregate breaking news from the top crypto influencers and summarize it into a tight script.

Check the Top YouTubers: You don’t need to watch the full hour. Skim the titles and timestamps of daily uploads from:

Select a Winning Format

Not all crypto content performs equally on short-form. Based on research, six formats consistently win. Choose one per video based on the news you found.

Format Best For Example Explainer Bite Complex tech or regulation "What is the CLARITY Act in 45 seconds?" Regulatory Quick Update Breaking SEC/policy news "SEC just dropped the case against XRP. Here’s why it matters." Visual Proof / Screen Rec Trading calls or on-chain data Showing a live chart of a breakout with a voiceover. Myth-Busting Combating FUD "No, BlackRock is NOT dumping Bitcoin. Here’s the truth." Community Clips Answering Reddit/Discord Qs "Someone asked if staking ETH is safe. Here’s the simple answer." Founder-Led (AI) Credibility Using HeyGen to create an AI avatar of a "news anchor."

Write the Script (The 15-Second Hook)

On short-form video, you have approximately 3 seconds to stop the scroll. If your first 15 seconds are an intro ("Hey guys, welcome back to the channel..."), you’ve lost.

0:00 - 0:05 (The Hook): Start with the conclusion or a shocking statement.

Bad: "Today we are going to talk about Bitcoin."

Produce the Video (The AI Pipeline)

This is where we eliminate the need for expensive studios or on-camera anxiety. Use the AI tools from the research to create a faceless (or avatar-led) channel.

Voiceover: Use Fliki or LOVO. Paste your 150-word script. Select a realistic AI voice. (Pro tip: American Male "Narrator" voices or British Female voices often have the highest retention).

B-Roll: Go to Videvo (crypto-specific), Pexels, or Pixabay. Search for keywords like "Bitcoin mining," "Crypto trading," or "Blockchain animation." Download 5-10 clips.

Optimize for the Algorithm

You can have the best content in the world, but if the algorithm doesn’t know who to show it to, it won’t matter.

Aspect Ratio: 9:16 (Vertical). 1080 x 1920.

Duration: Aim for 45 to 60 seconds. Shorter clips (15-30 seconds) have higher completion rates, but 60 seconds allows you to deliver real value.
