Editorial Policy
Our Mission
We exist to provide accurate, independent, and transparent coverage of Bitcoin, its ecosystem, and the broader social, economic, and political implications of decentralized money.
Our commitment is to readers—not advertisers, sponsors, investors, political groups, or industry insiders.
We believe Bitcoin is best understood through the principles it embodies: decentralization, censorship resistance, open verification, and individual sovereignty. Our editorial process reflects those same values.
Core Principles
1. Independence First
Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, investors, industry partners, and political interests.
No external party can preview, influence, edit, or veto our coverage.
If financial relationships exist with any company or project we cover, they are clearly disclosed.
2. Transparency Over Authority
We do not ask readers to “trust us.” We show our work.
- Link to primary sources whenever possible
- Cite verifiable data
- Clearly distinguish fact, analysis, and opinion
- Publish corrections openly and visibly
3. Bitcoin-Centric, Not Crypto-Promotional
We cover Bitcoin as a monetary, technical, and social protocol.
We do not promote token speculation, paid token coverage, or marketing disguised as journalism.
4. Clear Separation: News, Analysis, and Opinion
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| News | Factual reporting with minimal interpretation |
| Analysis | Context and expert insight |
| Opinion | Author viewpoints |
5. No Pay-for-Play, Ever
We do not accept payment in exchange for coverage or mentions.
Sponsored content, if present, is clearly labeled and separate from editorial work.
6. Corrections and Accountability
Corrections are appended to the original article, explain what changed, and are timestamped.
7. Financial Disclosures
Authors disclose relevant holdings or relationships that could be perceived as conflicts of interest.
8. Respect for Privacy and Security
We do not publish sensitive personal information without strong public interest justification.
9. Source Integrity
We prioritize on-record sources, primary documentation, and technical verification.
10. Open Feedback and Reader Participation
Readers can submit corrections, challenge reporting, and suggest coverage topics.
What We Avoid
- Sensationalism
- Price-prediction content
- Clickbait headlines
- Uncritical amplification of industry narratives
Editorial Governance
Major stories are reviewed by multiple editors before publication.
