Who Publishes Charlie Bit Me?
Charlie Bit Me was founded by Jake Holloway, a blockchain journalist and crypto analyst who has been covering decentralized finance and digital asset markets since 2020. The site exists because most crypto coverage falls into one of two traps: institutional-grade reports that assume Wall Street literacy, or headline mills that prioritize speed over accuracy.
In This Article
We write for the retail investor who wants to understand what they are buying, how the technology works, and what the tax implications look like before they commit capital.
What Do We Cover?
Our coverage spans five areas: coin research and on-chain analysis, DeFi and staking mechanics, wallet security and self-custody, cryptocurrency tax reporting, and market analysis. Every article targets a specific question that a real person types into a search engine or asks an AI assistant.
What Are Our Editorial Standards?
Every claim is verified against primary sources: blockchain explorers, official protocol documentation, IRS publications, SEC filings, and exchange API data. We do not publish rumors, insider tips, or unverified price predictions. When we reference a statistic, we link to where we found it. When information cannot be verified from a primary source, we say so explicitly or cut the claim.
