The trusted sources

An item on this site may link only to a source on this list. An item that links anywhere else is not published.

The agent reads the feeds of some of these sources twice a day. The others have no feed it reads, so they appear only as a second link, when a source it does read reported the story and the agent could open their page.

How a source gets on the list

DG Tulman keeps the list. A source is on it because it is the body that made the announcement, or because it reports on Bitcoin under its own name every day. To suggest a source, or to question one, write to dg@faststatsforsats.com.

What a link means

A link shows where an item's facts come from. It is not an endorsement of the source's opinions, and no source pays to be here.
