Corrections log
Everyone makes mistakes; we're no exception. What matters is what you do once you spot one. DongBiBa's approach is simple: we don't quietly edit and pretend nothing happened — we log it in the open. Whenever an article gets something wrong or doesn't explain it clearly, we record the before-and-after here, where you can see it.
Our correction principles
- Substantive changes go on the record. Anything that could affect your understanding or judgment goes into this table, rather than being fixed on the sly.
- Typos and formatting aren't listed. Pure slips, punctuation and layout tweaks we just fix, without taking up space here.
- We welcome your corrections. Spot something wrong or misleading? Email us; once verified, we'll fix it and record it here. Contact details are on the Contact page.
Correction records
| Date | Page | Before → After | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-05-26 | Wallets, keys, seed phrases | The text mixed three names — "secret words," "recovery words," "seed phrase" → standardized throughout to "seed phrase," noting "also called a recovery phrase" on first use | Different names are exactly what confuses beginners; consistent wording makes the concept easier to keep straight. |
| 2026-05-24 | What the stablecoin USDT is | Originally said only that a stablecoin "is pegged to the dollar and fairly stable" → added a caution: stablecoins are not absolutely safe; some have de-pegged or collapsed in the past (think of the 2022 UST/Terra failure) | The original wording could leave a beginner thinking stablecoins are a "sure thing." The risk note is more honest. |
| 2026-05-22 | Your first crypto purchase | "ID verification passes very quickly" → changed to "verification is usually fairly quick, but timing depends on the platform and may take longer at peak times" | The original made it sound too absolute, as if it always clears instantly. The new version is closer to reality. |
| 2026-05-20 | What is an exchange | Compared an exchange directly to "a bank" → kept the analogy but added: "coins held on an exchange are essentially the platform holding them for you, which is not the same legal protection as money in a bank (in the US, exchange balances are not FDIC-insured)" | The original analogy was easy to grasp but could mislead; the note keeps it accessible without making beginners overestimate safety. |
