InfoCrypto is an educational site about cryptocurrencies, blockchains and digital security. It sells nothing, manages nobody's money and has no arrangements with any platform. This page explains who makes it, how it is paid for and, above all, where its limits lie.
Why it exists
Search for any reasonable question — best exchange, hardware wallet, how staking is taxed — and the same pattern appears: almost everything on the first page was written by someone who gets paid if you click. Exchange comparisons where the winner is whoever pays the highest referral rate. Wallet reviews with an affiliate link attached. Courses that begin by explaining what a private key is and end by selling you a subscription. Projects funding articles about their own token.
It is not always untrue. The problem is subtler: when the writer is paid per click, there is an incentive to leave things out. Left out is the fact that the zero-commission app builds its cost into the price. Left out is the fact that the recommended platform does not appear in any regulator's register. Left out is the fact that an 8 per cent annual yield implies a counterparty risk the reader is not weighing. The information is not false; it is incomplete in exactly the place that would have given you pause.
InfoCrypto sets out to do the opposite: explain the mechanism and the risks, with the sources on show, and with nothing to sell. If you finish a guide and decide crypto is not for you, the guide worked just as well.
What you will find here
The site is built as reference material, not as a news blog. We publish no daily headlines and no market commentary.
- Twenty reference guides, long and with sources cited, across five areas: fundamentals (bitcoin versus ethereum, coins and tokens, stablecoins), security (choosing an exchange, hardware wallets, custody, the catalogue of scams and how they work from the inside), technology (mining, smart contracts, layer 2 networks, network fees, proof of work versus proof of stake), investing (staking, DeFi, NFTs, ICOs, airdrops, trading basics) and regulation (MiCA, who supervises what across the EU, how crypto is taxed in general terms, and the situation in the United States and Latin America).
- A glossary of 75 terms, for when you hit an unfamiliar word halfway through an article and do not want to lose the thread.
- Calculators for running your own numbers instead of reading generalities.
- A frequently asked questions section for the queries that keep recurring but do not justify a whole guide.
Every guide states when it was published, when it was last reviewed and where its data comes from. Pages carrying figures that age quickly display a visible notice with the date of collection.
Who writes it
It is worth being direct, because in this sector vagueness usually hides something.
InfoCrypto is an independent editorial project run by [TO COMPLETE: name of the editor responsible], [TO COMPLETE: one or two sentences about your background or relevant experience]. There is no media company behind it, no fund and no large team: it is a personal project, which is why what gets published is limited in quantity and worked on in depth.
We are not licensed financial advisers, lawyers or tax advisers. That is precisely why the site is written the way it is. An authorised adviser can look at your specific circumstances and tell you what to do with your money; we cannot and we do not. What we can do is explain accurately how a mechanism works, what risks are built into it and what the official sources say, so that you reach that conversation — with yourself or with a professional — knowing what to ask.
Put in one line: we explain mechanisms, we do not tell you what to buy.
How it is funded
The site is supported by contextual advertising from Google AdSense. That is the entire funding model. Specifically:
- There are no affiliate links. No link to an exchange, a wallet manufacturer, a broker or an app pays us for a click or a sign-up. If we name a platform it is because it is relevant to the text.
- We publish no sponsored content, no paid articles, no press releases dressed up as analysis and no mentions in exchange for money.
- No advertiser decides, reviews or influences what is written. AdSense ads are served automatically, and whoever pays for them has no channel through which to intervene in the content.
This matters more in crypto than in almost any other subject. Affiliate commissions here are among the highest on the internet: an exchange can pay a recurring share of everything a referred user spends in fees, for years. With that incentive on the table, no comparison is neutral, and the bias never shows up as an outright lie, only as a conveniently placed platform and a risk mentioned in passing. Turning down affiliate revenue does not make us better; it simply removes the reason to write crooked.
How we decide what gets published and what does not is set out in our editorial policy.
Our limits
There are things this site does not do, and not for lack of time:
- We give no buy or sell signals, no model portfolios and no entry points.
- We do not predict prices. Not a month out, not a year out, not for 2030. Nobody can do it, and whoever claims otherwise is usually selling the forecast.
- We do not recommend specific cryptocurrencies, and we publish no lists of the next ones about to take off.
- We manage nobody's money, offer no investment services and have no product to place.
- We do not help recover lost or stolen funds. Nobody from InfoCrypto will ever write to you offering to recover money: if you receive a message like that it is a scam, and one of the most common ones aimed at people who have already lost money once.
- We give no personalised advice. We will not answer what should I do with my X euros, because answering that without knowing your full situation would be reckless, and doing it without authorisation would also be a legal problem.
How to get in touch and how to report an error
If you find a wrong figure, a broken link or a number that no longer holds up, tell us: it is the most useful thing a reader can contribute. Write via the contact page, ideally with the URL, the specific paragraph and the source you believe corrects the data.
Correcting is part of the method, not an awkward exception. The review deadline, how we distinguish a typo from a substantive error and when we publish a visible correction note are all described in the editorial policy.
We also welcome topic suggestions. We do not accept sponsored content proposals, link exchanges or requests for coverage of projects: those always get a no.
Risk warnings
No small print, because this is the most important part of the page:
- Nothing you read on InfoCrypto is financial, tax or legal advice. It is general educational material.
- Cryptocurrencies are high-risk assets. Their prices are extremely volatile and you can lose everything you put in. Falls of more than 70 per cent from the highs have happened several times and will happen again.
- There is no deposit guarantee scheme. Unlike a bank deposit, no public body covers your losses if a platform collapses, if you are defrauded or if you lose your keys.
- Transactions are irreversible. Send funds to the wrong address or sign a malicious transaction and there is nobody who can undo it.
- Regulation changes fast. What was legal or normal a year ago may not be today; always verify the current position before acting.
- Check the data against the original sources. We link to every source we use precisely so that you do not have to take our word for anything.
- Consult a qualified professional before making an investment decision or filing a tax return. Your personal circumstances matter, and we do not know them.
