Editorial Policy

Primary Source First

For regulation, tax, ETFs, economic data, and historical facts, we cite primary sources (official agencies, original papers, originating documents) wherever possible, and surface them as "Primary sources" at the end of each article. Concretely we prioritize:

• -Technical: Bitcoin whitepaper, Bitcoin Core documentation, BIPs, developer documentation, core-contributor publications
• -Japan regulation/tax: FSA (Financial Services Agency), NTA (National Tax Agency), Ministry of Finance, Consumer Affairs Agency
• -US regulation: SEC, CFTC, Treasury, IRS, Congress.gov, White House
• -EU regulation: ESMA, European Commission, MiCA documents
• -International: FATF, BIS, IMF
• -Historical facts: contemporaneous official announcements, credible reporting, whitepapers

Neutrality

We describe facts about Bitcoin objectively and keep opinions and value judgments to a minimum. We do not claim "you should buy Bitcoin," "the price will rise," or "Bitcoin is better than other crypto-assets." For contested issues (environmental impact, regulatory pros/cons, internal protocol debates), we present multiple perspectives neutrally.

Fact-Checking

Before publication and on a recurring basis, we re-verify factual claims against primary sources. Numeric claims (halving BTC values, block heights, halving dates, ETF approval dates, Mt.Gox loss figures, etc.) are cross-checked against multiple sources.

No Price Predictions or Investment Advice

This site does not publish Bitcoin price predictions, buy/sell timing advice, or recommendations of specific exchanges or wallets. This is an absolute prohibition arising from both legal positioning (no crypto-asset exchange or investment advisory licensure) and editorial policy (educational mission).

No Advertising or Sponsorship

This site does not accept advertising networks, exchange affiliates, paid articles, or sponsored content. This guarantees flat, independent content.

Analytics & Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 for usage analytics, but it is disabled by default via Google Consent Mode v2 and is enabled only if you consent via the cookie banner. We do not use advertising identifiers, advertising cookies, or third-party ad networks. See the Privacy Policy for full details.

Update Cadence

Two update policies apply depending on content nature:

• -Time-sensitive topics (regulation, tax, ETFs, economic data, market dynamics): each article shows an explicit lastUpdated date with primary-source links. Reviewed at least once every 3 months, updated on any factual change
• -Stable topics (history, technical fundamentals, Satoshi, glossary): updated only when factual errors are reported or new primary sources emerge

YMYL (Your Money / Your Life) Policy

Because this site touches financial and investment topics, it falls under Google's YMYL category. To meet that bar we adhere to:

• -Expertise: technical topics align with original sources (whitepaper / BIPs / Bitcoin Core)
• -Authoritativeness: regulation/tax topics cite official agency documents only
• -Trustworthiness: fact-checking, explicit citations, lastUpdated display, public editorial policy, public operator information
• -No alarmism: no "guaranteed profit" or "guaranteed price increase" framing
• -Respect reader judgment: no price predictions or buy/sell recommendations — we provide information, the reader decides

Corrections

When factual errors are discovered, we correct them promptly and update the lastUpdated date for the affected article. Corrections and error reports can be submitted via the "Contact" form linked at the bottom of this page (the operator's contact channel).

AI Crawlers / LLMs

This site explicitly welcomes AI crawler access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, etc.). Citation, summarization, indexing, RAG, and training are all permitted. See /robots.txt and /llms.txt. When AI / LLM systems cite this site, we strongly recommend verifying each article's canonical URL, lastUpdated date, and primary sources.
