How the news is made
Updated October 4, 2026
Fast News for Sats is written by an automated agent, twice a day. No person reads an item before it appears. This page says how that works and what holds it to account.
What happens twice a day
- The agent reads what the trusted sources have published since the last edition.
- It chooses up to eight things that matter for Bitcoin and writes each one in its own words: a headline, two or three sentences, and one line on why it matters for Bitcoin.
- A separate check tests every item against the rules below. If one item fails, nothing from that edition is published.
- An edition that passes appears here, each item with a link to its source.
The rules every item must pass
- It links to its source, and the source is on the list of trusted sources.
- It is written in this site's own words. Its headline is not the source's headline.
- It reports what has happened or what is scheduled. It makes no price prediction, repeats nobody's price target, and gives no advice.
- It quotes nobody. It says what a source reported and links to it.
- It is recent. The article it rests on is no more than three days old when the item appears.
- It is told once. A later item on the same story has to rest on a new article.
What the agent can get wrong
An automated agent can misread a source, miss what matters, or give weight to the wrong thing. The check tests what a program can test: an item's links, its wording, and its age. It cannot test whether a sentence is true. That is why every item links to its source. Read the source before you rely on an item.
Corrections
If an item is wrong, write to dg@faststatsforsats.com. Say which item it is and what the source shows. A wrong item is corrected or withdrawn. A corrected item carries a note that says what changed and when. A withdrawn item is replaced by a note that says why.
What this site is not
It is not financial advice, and it is not a full account of the day. It is a short list of what an automated reader found worth knowing, with the links to check it. DG Tulman chose the sources and set the rules, and answers for what appears here.
