Crypto, made clearer.
EatCryptoPie is practical crypto for Australians, without the hype. It’s for people who use crypto, are thinking about it, or just want to understand what they’re being told about it.
The aim is simple: help you understand how crypto works, choose useful tools, handle the tax and paperwork that come with it, and question the claims people make to you.
What we cover
Articles fall into four areas:
- Learn: how crypto, blockchains and wallets work.
- Tools: wallets, trackers, tax software and other practical tools.
- Tax & Admin: Australian tax, record-keeping and reporting.
- Claims & Scams: misleading claims, warning signs and how scams work.
If you’re new, Start Here is a guided path through the basics, in order.
What we don’t do
EatCryptoPie isn’t a news site, and it doesn’t give trading tips. We don’t rank crypto platforms or tell you which crypto to buy.
Everything here is general information. It isn’t personal financial, tax or legal advice, and it doesn’t take your circumstances into account. For decisions about your own money or tax, speak to a licensed professional.
Who’s behind it
Every article carries the byline Owen Calder. That’s a pen name, used by the person who founded EatCryptoPie and edits it.
EatCryptoPie is a one-person publication based in Australia. The same person runs it, edits it and approves everything that’s published. There are no other contributors yet.
Owen Calder isn’t a licensed financial adviser, a registered tax agent or a lawyer, and nothing on the site is professional advice.
How we work
- We check primary sources. For Australian tax, regulation and safety, we go to the ATO, ASIC, Scamwatch, legislation and other official sources first, and link to them.
- We date what changes. Where facts change over time, articles show when they were last checked.
- We say what our evidence is. If we haven’t used a product ourselves, we don’t say we have. Comparisons say what they’re based on, such as public documentation or pricing.
- We’re careful with the word “scam”. We call something a scam only when a regulator, court or similar authority has made a finding or warning about it. Otherwise we describe what happened and the warning signs.
- Reviews are real or absent. An article shows “Reviewed by” only when another person, not the author, has actually reviewed it.
Our Editorial Policy sets out how we research, check, date and correct articles, how we use AI tools, and when we call something a scam.
How the site is funded
EatCryptoPie may earn a commission or referral reward from links to some of the tools it writes about. At present it doesn’t publish advertising or sponsored content.
Any commercial relationship will be disclosed clearly, close to the content it relates to, and it won’t decide what we cover, how we rank things or what we conclude. We don’t use affiliate or referral links to crypto platforms.
How We Make Money explains how the site is funded and how we’d disclose any commercial relationship or benefit.
