Not investment advice
Nothing on TheChainPost is investment, trading, financial, tax, legal, or accounting advice. Articles are journalism. Price coverage is reporting on what happened, not a recommendation about what to do next. Always consult a licensed professional before acting on anything you read on the internet, including here.
Crypto is volatile and risky
Digital assets can lose most or all of their value in a day. Smart contracts can be exploited. Exchanges can freeze withdrawals or go insolvent. Regulators can reclassify assets retroactively. Private keys can be lost, stolen, or phished. Treat the asset class with the scepticism it has earned.
Past performance is not a predictor
The fact that a token rose by a large multiple in the past does not mean it will continue to. A protocol described as battle-tested can still be the next headline exploit.
The publication can be wrong
News moves fast. Sources get things wrong. The desk corrects errors publicly on the corrections page. Readers should verify anything important against primary sources before relying on it.
Third-party content
Links to exchanges, tools, and projects are provided for reader convenience and, where disclosed, as affiliate links. The publication does not endorse the operations, security, or practices of any third party.
Jurisdiction
Crypto regulation varies by country. What is legal or unrestricted in one jurisdiction may be restricted, taxed differently, or prohibited in another. The newsroom does not know where a given reader lives and cannot provide jurisdiction-specific guidance.
Forward-looking statements
When coverage discusses what an upgrade, protocol change, or regulation might do, qualifiers such as “could,” “may,” “expected,” and “projected” are used. Those reflect the state of information at publication time and are not guarantees.
Errors
Errors slip through any editorial workflow. When the desk gets something wrong, the piece is corrected, republished, and logged on the corrections page. Readers who spot a factual error can flag it to corrections@thechainpost.com and should expect acknowledgement within three business days.
