HODL FM Editorial Policy
Welcome to HodlFM — your favorite degenerate-fueled, high-signal, no-BS corner of the crypto internet. Whether you’re doomscrolling Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana news, deep diving into our crypto market overviews, covering AI and tech industry developments, what’s new in Web3 and gaming, how to earn in crypto guides and tips, or trying to escape rug pulls through crypto education, we owe you one thing: content with a conscience (and maybe a sense of humor).
Here’s how we keep our editorial house clean, our brains sharp, and our compass pointed somewhere between decentralization and chaos.
Our Mission. Yes, We Actually Have One
We exist to decode crypto without dumbing it down — and to mock what deserves mocking. Our goal is to entertain, educate, and occasionally offend (the right people), all while bringing real alpha to the degens, dreamers, devs, and double-checkers of the Web3 world.
Whether it’s a Satoshi-era OG coin or a memecoin launched on a Tuesday and dead by Friday — if it moves the space, we cover it.
Our Writers. Human First, Chain-Pilled Second
Our contributors are a mix of crypto journalists, builders, tokenomics nerds, market addicts, and ex-finance escapees. We don’t hire AI to generate fluff (though we’ll roast it when others do). Every piece is written or edited by someone who knows how to read a smart contract and a room.
Got a fresh perspective or want to contribute? Slide into our inbox. Bonus points if you can explain ZK-rollups and make us laugh.
Editorial Independence. We Write, Not White-Label
No token bags. No puppet strings. No hidden hand of a VC telling us what’s bullish today. Editorial decisions at HodlFM are made by, well, us — not advertisers, not token teams, not your favorite influencer with suspiciously perfect skin.
That said, when a project does pay for a review, mention, or placement, we slap a big ol’ Sponsored tag on it. Transparency is sexy.
Accuracy & Accountability
We aim to get it right the first time. When we don’t? We update it, correct it, and admit it — no stealth edits, no memory holes. We timestamp major updates and slap on editor’s notes when something changes.
Spotted a mistake? Call us out. We’ll fix it faster than your favorite L1 blows through gas fees during a mint war.
Sponsored Content & Affiliate Links
Some pages — especially in /reviews or /education — may include affiliate links or sponsored placements. When that’s the case, we tell you. Loudly. We never fake reviews, and we don’t promise five-star fluff for a check. If it sucks, we’ll say so. If it slaps, we’ll still test it twice.
Our audience comes first. Always. Even if that means turning down money like we’re Vitalik at an ICO.
What we don’t do
- Pump-and-dump press releases masked as “news”
- Pretend every launch is revolutionary
- Trade access for praise
- Shill scams. Ever.
Sections We Hold Sacred
TOP
Where the latest, wildest, and most WTF-worthy stories rise to the surface. This is the pulse of the cryptoverse, minus the sugarcoating.
REVIEWS
We try, test, rage quit, and sometimes love what we review. From wallets to DEXs to mining rigs — if it’s Web3, we’ve probably broken it. Or broken with it.
EDUCATION
Our attempt at helping readers escape their inner crypto noob. You’ll find explainers, guides, and sarcastic-but-smart content for anyone trying to learn without going back to TradFi school.
AI Disclosure. Bots Don’t Write Our Opinions
We use AI tools to brainstorm, summarize data, and occasionally fact-check — but never to write full articles. Our content reflects human judgment, sarcasm, and firsthand knowledge. No matter how good ChatGPT gets, it still can’t smell a rug pull like we can.
Corrections Policy
We don’t ghost-edit. If we screw up, we fix it publicly. And we’ll even say “sorry,” once — if you catch us before coffee.
