How we make & verify our content

How the altrookie team checks facts, writes, and fixes mistakes

Why we wrote this page

Crypto can be confusing, and a lot of what's online is hyped or simply wrong. So we want to answer one question first: "Can I trust this page?" We believe trust starts not with flashy promises, but with showing you exactly how we actually work. This page lays out that process with nothing hidden.

1. We start from public primary sources

We don't write from rumors or hearsay. We pull facts from sources anyone can check for themselves. Mostly these:

• Official docs and whitepapers — primary material written by the people who built the project.
• Wikipedia — useful as a starting point and for context, since claims come with their own citations.
• Public data sites like CoinGecko — we reference these for a coin's basic details and rough scale.

We don't take a single source at face value. We cross-check the same fact across two or more sources before it goes into an article. When sources disagree, we defer to the more reliable primary source, and we don't state things as certain when they aren't.

2. We rewrite it in plain, beginner-friendly English

Copy-pasting jargon reads like a foreign language to a beginner. So we take the facts we've verified and rewrite them in plain English. We may use analogies and simple pictures, but we never change the underlying facts. We're careful not to say something wrong just to make it sound simple.

For hard, complex topics, instead of forcing in every detail, we prefer to capture the core in one line and point to deeper material when it's needed. "Accurate and understandable" matters more to us than "lots of it."

3. We review, and we don't hype

After writing, we read it back and review. We check that the facts match the sources, that nothing is easy for a beginner to misread, and that the tone isn't pushing you to buy a particular coin. We don't give investment advice, and we don't make flat predictions like "this will definitely go up." If we don't know something, we say so.

Our promise about prices & figures

This one we want to be especially clear about. The prices, market caps, and rankings shown on our pages are not real-time. They may be illustrative or approximate values based on what was available when the article was written. For actual prices and the latest numbers, please check them yourself on an exchange or a public data site like CoinGecko.

When we're wrong, we fix it

We're human, and we make mistakes. Our promise is simple: when we find an error, we don't hide it — we correct it. If you're reading and think "that doesn't look right," please tell us. Once we've confirmed it, we'll correct what was wrong.

What we do — and don't do

Who writes this

The articles on this site are made by the altrookie team. We don't lean on fancy titles or certificates. Instead, we try to earn trust by sticking to the process described above — people who check the sources, explain things simply, and fix what's wrong, consistently.
