We explain Bitcoin like a friend would — and review products like we're spending our own money. Because we are.

01 — WE TEST FOR REAL

Every exchange review starts with a deposit and ends with a withdrawal to self-custody. Every wallet holds our own sats for at least a month before we score it.

02 — RANKINGS AREN'T FOR SALE

Some links earn us a commission — they're marked, disclosed, and irrelevant to rankings. Our #1 pick is #1 whether or not they pay us. That's the whole business model: trust.

03 — EDUCATION FIRST

We won't tell you bitcoin is going to a million, and we won't tell you it's going to zero. We'll teach you how it works so you can decide for yourself.

When you open an account or buy a product through some of our links, the company pays us a referral fee at no cost to you. Those links are tagged as sponsored in our code — per Google's guidelines — and flagged on every page they appear. We also accept clearly-labeled sponsored content. We do not accept payment for reviews, scores, or rankings.

Fees change, firmware updates ship, exchanges alter policies. We re-verify exchange fees monthly and re-test wallets quarterly; every review shows its last-updated date. Spot an error? Email us and we'll fix it with a visible correction note.

FOUNDER & EDITOR

Miami-born designer who built and ran Costa Rica's largest North American-facing sportsbook, casino, and poker sites — and found bitcoin in 2017 when it solved his payment problem. Hooked ever since. Full story →

NEWS & RESEARCH

Markets Reporter behind the daily news and weekly ETF flows analysis. Covering bitcoin markets since 2019; tracked every spot ETF flow report since the funds launched in January 2024. Five years on a wire-service markets desk before going full-time on bitcoin.

HARDWARE & TESTING

Licensed electrician and former power-systems engineer who runs every ASIC and hardware test on her own bench — measured watts, noise, and heat, plus the recovery drills on wallets alongside Sam Okafor and Rafael Ortiz.

We read everything. Press kits and review units welcome — they don't buy a score.
