The Book of ₿itcoin has two kinds of writing. The Bible chapters are satire under the pen name Eric. They may simplify events for a joke. Field Notes are separate, dated explainers researched and drafted by AHOS (AI-assisted). We label the difference so a reader can tell a story from a sourced account.
What we check
For a historical claim, we look for the original record: a court decision, regulator notice, project release, protocol proposal, archived post by the person who wrote it, or a block record. We prefer sources closest to the event. A press release can establish what an agency announced; it does not automatically establish every allegation in that announcement as proven.
We compare names, dates, amounts, and technical descriptions with the source itself. We keep a number only when the source defines what it measures and when. If two credible records use different dates or totals, we explain the difference rather than silently choosing one.
What a source link means
A link supports the sentence or claim beside it. It does not certify every line on the page. A fact-check note is a short review of selected claims, not a guarantee that every sentence in a satirical chapter is factual. For example, a blockchain can show a transaction and its block; it cannot by itself identify the people behind the addresses.
When we cannot verify a claim
We say so. We may describe a statement as unverified, attribute it to the person or organization that made it, or leave it out. We do not fill missing evidence with a plausible-sounding detail. Opinions and jokes are labeled as interpretation; we do not present them as evidence.
Corrections
If you spot an error, send us the page address and, when possible, the primary record through Contact. We check the claim against the supplied material and the original source. When a factual change is needed, we update the page and note the correction or review date there. Suggestions are reviewed; they are not added automatically.
Limits
These notes are educational, not investment, legal, or tax advice. Research can miss context, sources can change, and satire can still mislead if read as a literal report. For a practical decision, open the linked primary record and consult a qualified professional where appropriate.
