Ethics & standards
These are the rules our journalists work to. They are public so readers can hold us to them.
Accuracy
Every factual assertion must be supported by a document, a dataset, or a source who has direct knowledge. Where a figure is an estimate, we say so and name the methodology.
Independence
Advertising, sponsorship and syndication are handled separately from editorial. Commercial partners are never shown copy before publication. Sponsored material, if published, is labelled as such at the top of the page and excluded from our news feeds.
Conflicts of interest
Staff journalists disclose all digital asset holdings to the editor annually and must not write about an asset in which they hold a position. Journalists may not accept paid speaking fees, tokens, allocations, airdrops or travel from companies they cover.
Sourcing and anonymity
We prefer named sources. Anonymity is granted only where a source faces a credible risk of retaliation or legal jeopardy, and requires editor approval. We explain in the article why anonymity was granted.
Right of reply
Any person or organisation facing significant criticism is contacted before publication with a reasonable deadline to respond. If no response is received, we say so.
Use of artificial intelligence
We do not publish machine-generated articles. AI tools may be used internally for transcription, translation drafts and data processing. All published copy is written, verified and edited by a named human journalist.
No investment advice
Nothing published by Bitcoin Bounty Hunter constitutes investment, legal or tax advice. Market analysis reflects the assessment of the author at the time of publication.
Complaints
Concerns about a breach of these standards should be sent to newsroom@bitcoinbountyhunter.com and are reviewed by the editor within five business days. Factual errors are handled under our corrections policy.
