Editorial policy

How guides are written

• Every guide starts with a short, self-contained answer, then explains in plain English.
• Factual claims that can change (laws, figures, network rules) are checked against primary sources: official project documentation, government agencies such as the IRS, FBI and FTC, and the original papers. Sources are listed at the end of each guide.
• Figures that change are dated ("as of October 2026").
• We separate fact from opinion, and present the main arguments on both sides where people disagree.

How calculators are checked

Each calculator states its formula and assumptions next to the result, and is tested against independently worked examples before publishing. Most calculators use only the numbers you enter. The live-price tools (the portfolio tracker, XRP calculator and crypto converter) use CoinGecko's public prices, say so on the page, and never invent a price: if the feed is down they show the last real price with its time.

Coin comparisons

Comparison pages describe how two cryptocurrencies differ. They never say which one to buy. Every fact in the side-by-side table is checked against the project's own documentation or a reputable reference, listed under Sources on the page.

Reviews and dates

The "reviewed" date on a guide changes only when someone actually rechecks it, not automatically.

Independence

No company can pay to change a guide. Any future advertising or affiliate links will be labeled where they appear.

Not advice

Everything here is general education. It is not financial, investment, tax or legal advice for your situation.
