EatCryptoPie publishes practical information about crypto for Australians. This page explains how our articles are written and checked, and what happens when we get something wrong.
What we publish
We publish explainers, guides, coverage of practical tools, and warnings about misleading claims and scams. We don’t publish price predictions or trading tips, rank crypto platforms, or recommend which crypto to buy.
Everything on EatCryptoPie is general information. It isn’t financial, investment or tax advice, and it doesn’t take your circumstances into account.
Who writes it
Owen Calder, the name on our articles, is the pen name of EatCryptoPie’s editor. The editor runs the site and approves everything it publishes. About has more on who we are.
An article shows “Reviewed by” only when someone other than the author has actually reviewed it, such as an accountant reviewing a tax article. A check by an AI tool never counts as a review.
How we use AI tools
We use AI tools to help research and draft articles. Before an article is published, AI tools help check its factual claims against the sources it cites. The editor then reviews the article and approves the final text. We never use AI to invent experiences, test results, quotes or reviews.
We also use AI tools to help create decorative illustrations. These illustrate ideas; they are not photographs, product screenshots or evidence of something we tested. Charts and explanatory diagrams are built from checked information, with sources where needed. We do not use generated images to invent figures, results or experiences.
Sources and evidence
- For Australian tax, regulation and safety, we use primary sources: legislation, the ATO, ASIC, Scamwatch and ReportCyber. On legal points, legislation comes ahead of guidance. Where official sources disagree in a way that matters, we say so.
- For how a technology works, we use its own technical documentation. We say when something applies to only one network.
- Each article lists its sources and checks its facts from scratch. We don’t treat our own earlier articles as evidence.
- We only say we tested or used something when we actually did. Every comparison or review says what it’s based on: hands-on use, product documentation, public pricing and features, official records, or a mix.
- When an article shows screenshots from our own accounts, we cover anything personal, such as amounts, balances, addresses and account details. We may crop them, add labels or arrows, or show several side by side. We don’t change the figures, labels or results they show.
- We only call something a scam when a regulator, court or similar authority has found or warned that it is one. Otherwise, we describe what was claimed, point out the warning signs and link to the evidence.
Dates
Articles about things that change, such as tax rules, show a “Last checked” date. It’s the date we last checked those facts against their sources.
Corrections and updates
If we get something wrong that you might have relied on, such as a figure, date, step, or tax or legal point, we fix it and add a dated note to the article saying what changed. We fix typos and wording that doesn’t change the meaning without a note.
When the facts change, such as a new law or an updated ATO rule, we update the article and add a dated note saying what changed. We only move the “Last checked” date once we’ve rechecked all the facts it covers, not just the one that changed.
Money
Money doesn’t decide what we cover or what we conclude. How We Make Money explains how EatCryptoPie is funded.
