Editorial Policy

Ethics & Editorial Standards

Last updated: February 2026. Questions? editors@bitcoinomist.io

Editorial Independence

Bitcoinomist's editorial team operates independently from its commercial and advertising departments. Advertisers, sponsors, and PR partners have no influence over editorial coverage decisions, story selection, or headlines.

No project, exchange, or token can purchase positive editorial coverage. Our journalists are prohibited from accepting any form of compensation—including tokens, NFTs, or equity— from the projects they cover.

Author Disclosure Requirements

All Bitcoinomist contributors are required to disclose:

  • Personal holdings in any asset they write about (if holdings exceed $1,000 USD)
  • Any paid advisory, consulting, or employment relationships with covered projects
  • Participation in token presales, IDOs, or airdrops related to covered projects
  • Prior or current investment in any covered VC fund or portfolio company

Disclosures appear at the bottom of the relevant article. Authors may not cover projects in which they hold a financial stake without explicit editor approval and disclosure.

Sponsored & Partner Content

Bitcoinomist accepts paid content in the form of Press Releases, Sponsored Articles, and Newsletter Sponsorships. All paid content is:

  • Clearly and prominently labeled with a "Sponsored" or "Press Release" badge at the top of the article
  • Listed in a distinct "Partner Content" or "Press Releases" carousel on the homepage
  • Excluded from editorial news feeds and top stories sections
  • Not edited to remove factual inaccuracies—we reject content that is misleading

We reserve the right to decline any sponsored content that promotes known scams, makes unverifiable ROI claims, or violates our community standards. See our advertising page for submission guidelines.

Factual Accuracy & Corrections

We strive for accuracy in every article. When errors are identified—whether by readers, sources, or our own staff—we correct them promptly and transparently.

Significant factual corrections are noted at the top of the article with the date of correction. Minor typographical corrections are made without notation. We do not delete published articles to suppress unfavorable coverage.

To report an error, email corrections@bitcoinomist.io with the article URL and specific correction requested.

Price Predictions & Financial Disclaimers

Price prediction articles are clearly categorized and represent analytical opinion, not financial advice. Bitcoinomist does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice.

All price prediction content is subject to a standard disclaimer: "This is not financial advice. Always do your own research before investing in any cryptocurrency."

Authors of price prediction pieces must disclose any holdings in the asset being analyzed. Price targets are based on publicly available technical or on-chain data at the time of publication.

Artificial Intelligence Policy

Bitcoinomist uses AI tools to assist with research, summarization, and editing. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, fact-checked, and approved by a human editor before publication.

We do not publish AI-generated content that has not been substantially reviewed and verified by a staff member. AI tools are not used to fabricate quotes, sources, or on-chain data.

Source Standards

We rely on primary sources wherever possible: on-chain data, official project announcements, regulatory filings, and direct interviews. When using secondary sources, we link to the original reporting.

Anonymous sources are used only when a named source would face professional or legal risk, and only when the information can be corroborated by at least one additional source.
