A corrections page should not be decoration: a link in the footer, a one-line stub, never updated. This page is not that.

Every time I change something material in any article on this site, the change gets logged here with a date and a short note explaining what changed. Errors get fixed. Opinions get updated when new evidence arrives. None of it gets buried.

§1Why a corrections page even exists

Crypto moves fast, and writing about it sets every article up to age badly. Any piece published today can be partially or completely wrong three months from now:

This page is the public record of every change. It exists for two related reasons: accountability to you, and discipline for me. Because every edit ends up logged here in plain sight, I have to think harder about the edit before making it.

§2The three rules

The discipline is short enough to fit on a napkin:

  1. Wrong gets fixed — there is no version of this site where an article is treated as final-on-publication and stays uncorrected because changing it would be inconvenient
  2. Material errors get logged — if I wrote a wrong contract address or misstated a critical fact, it is corrected as soon as it has been verified and recorded on this page
  3. No silent opinion edits — when my view of something changes, the new view gets dated and added; the old view is not deleted, only marked as superseded. Opinions can be wrong, that is fine. Pretending they were never wrong is not fine

"Opinions are allowed to be wrong, and they are allowed to change. What they are not allowed to do is pretend they were never wrong and never changed."

§3Correction log

Reverse chronological. The oldest entry is at the bottom.

§4How to tell me something is wrong

There are four channels — X (Twitter) is the fastest. Email handles long-form or attachments better. Telegram for quick exchanges. Weibo for Chinese-language readers.

X (Twitter) · fastest @mor_xiaogan Telegram · best for back-and-forth @txzx603 Email · for long content + attachments [email protected] Weibo · Chinese-language Gan

When you submit a factual correction please try to include: the article URL + the specific wrong passage (a screenshot helps) + the version you believe is correct (optional). With those three things in hand I can verify it faster, correct it as soon as it checks out and record it here.

§5What does not count as a correction

There is one category of "correction" requests I do not act on: disagreement with my opinion is not an error to be fixed.

A few examples:

Disagreement is not error. If you disagree with something I wrote, X is open and I genuinely enjoy public debate. I will absolutely change my mind when shown new evidence — but the path is "here is data that contradicts your premise," not "I think you should change your conclusion to mine."

However: anything that is genuinely factual — a broken link, a wrong number, a misdated event, an incorrect contract address, a misattributed research-report author, a miscredited source quote — gets corrected as soon as it has been verified, and logged here.

§6How corrections work here, and why it matters

Why a corrections page matters to you as a reader

A maintained, dated, public corrections trail shows that the writer takes responsibility for mistakes and treats readers as adults rather than as a passive audience. When you are deciding how much weight to give a crypto site's claims, it is worth checking whether it has one, whether it is actually updated, and whether the original articles point back to it when something was fixed.

How to submit a correction

Three working channels, in order of how quickly I will respond:

There is no formal SLA and I do not pretend there is one; replies depend on time zones and on how much checking the correction needs.

The historical log stays public, always

Every correction entry on this page stays public forever. Old entries do not get cleaned up, paginated off, or memory-holed. This is the single biggest divergence between how a serious publisher handles corrections and how a "delete the tweet, pretend it never happened" influencer handles them. The discipline matters because the historical log is the only thing that lets a later reader verify that the corrections process is real and not theatre. Without a permanent log, anyone can claim "I always correct my errors" — the log is what makes that claim auditable.

Contrast with delete-the-tweet culture

Delete-the-tweet culture works the opposite way: a coin gets shilled, the call goes wrong, the original tweet gets deleted, and the same account starts shilling the next coin without ever having reckoned with the prior mistake. The result is a permanent fog where no one can audit who was right and who was wrong over a meaningful period of time. The corrections-page discipline is the opposite of that. It says: here is what I wrote, here is when I changed it, here is why I changed it, and here is the version that came before. If I am wrong about something, you will be able to find evidence of that here. That is the contract.

I am one person rather than an editorial desk, but the discipline does not depend on size: date everything, never silently edit, and log corrections in a permanent public place.

The major-correction process · how a real fix happens

What a substantive correction actually looks like, step by step, when something material has to change:

  1. Triage · I receive a credible report (email / DM / Telegram). I verify the underlying claim independently using primary sources — not just the reporter's framing of it
  2. Fix · once the claim checks out, the article is corrected in place as soon as possible
  3. Log here · a new entry is added to the timeline above with a short description of what changed and why
  4. Notify, where applicable · if the original error was egregious enough that I want to make sure readers see the correction, a short X post links to the corrections log entry. Quiet corrections for minor things, public corrections for the things that matter

Corrections that check out are fixed as soon as possible and recorded here. When the underlying claim itself is contested and needs deeper verification, it takes longer.

What "major" means · the taxonomy

Not every change is a "correction." The taxonomy I use:

§7Contact

The four contact channels above all work. Email is the most reliable for anything requiring a paper trail, X is the fastest for short messages. For corrections specifically, please put "Correction: [article URL]" in the subject line or first line of the message so it gets routed correctly.

If your report is escalated to a logged correction in §3 above, you will see your contribution acknowledged in the log entry (anonymously by default, with attribution if you ask).
