Not advice
Nothing on this website is investment, financial, legal, tax or other professional advice. Our writing does not take your circumstances, objectives or needs into account. Before making any decision that affects your money, consult a qualified professional who is authorised in your country.
Not an offer or a recommendation
Nothing on this website is an offer, an invitation or a recommendation to acquire, sell, hold or exchange any crypto-asset, token, currency or financial instrument, or to use any particular platform or service. Where we discuss Bitcoin or any other system, we do so to explain its history and design.
No reviews, rankings or affiliate links
We do not review, rate, rank or compare crypto-assets, exchanges, wallet products or other providers. We have no affiliate links and receive no payment from such firms.
Accuracy and dates
We base our essays on primary sources and established scholarship and correct mistakes when we find them. Even so, historical interpretations change, dates for the distant past are often approximate, and laws and regulations are amended. Each essay states the date of its latest update. If you find an error, please write to info@knowlesta.com.
External sources
We link to archives, academic publishers and official bodies. We do not control their websites and are not responsible for their content.
Risks
Crypto-assets involve serious risks, which we summarise in our Risk notice.
