Terms of use

These terms cover how the site may be used, what is protected by copyright, and the limits of what the publisher is responsible for. They are written to be read rather than skimmed, and they apply to anyone who visits the site.

Using this site

By visiting Bitcoin Data Guide you agree to these terms. The site is free to read, requires no account, and is offered as-is for education and reference. If you do not accept these terms, the appropriate response is simply not to use the site.

The publisher may update these terms from time to time, most often to reflect a change in how the site works. The version published on this page is the version that applies, and continued use of the site after a change means the updated terms apply to you.

Acceptable use

Reading, quoting and linking to the site are all fine. These are the things that are not.

  • Do not misrepresent the material

    Do not present figures from this site as advice, as a recommendation, or as the publisher's view on what any asset will do. Do not attribute a claim to the site that it does not make, and do not strip the source and vintage labels from a figure you reproduce.

  • Do not present the site as your own

    Do not republish substantial portions of the writing or the compiled datasets as your own work, and do not remove or obscure the attribution to Bitcoin Data Guide where material is quoted under the terms below.

  • Do not disrupt the service

    Do not attempt to overload, scrape at volume, probe for vulnerabilities, or otherwise interfere with the site's availability for other readers. Automated bulk collection of the compiled tables is not permitted without asking first.

  • Do not use the site unlawfully

    Do not use the site in a way that breaks the law, infringes anyone's rights, or facilitates harm to another person. This includes using material from the site to mislead someone about an investment.

Intellectual property

The written content on this site — the articles, explanations, methodology pages and editorial material — is the copyright of the publisher. The compiled datasets, meaning the curated tables and the selection and arrangement of the figures within them, are likewise the publisher's work. The site name and its presentation are part of that material.

You may quote short passages from the writing with clear attribution to Bitcoin Data Guide and, where practical, a link to the page you took it from. You may cite individual figures from the tables in the same way, provided the source and vintage are carried with them. You may link to any page freely, and no permission is needed to do so.

Reproducing a page in full, republishing a dataset in bulk, or using the material commercially requires permission first. Requests are usually granted for educational and journalistic use; write to the publisher using the route on the contact page and say what you intend to do.

The underlying facts are not owned by anyone. Bitcoin's block heights, halving dates and issuance schedule are protocol facts that belong to no one, and the historical price record is a matter of public fact. What is protected here is the writing, the compilation and the presentation, not the facts themselves.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided on an as-is and as-available basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. The publisher does not warrant that the site will be available without interruption, that it will be free of errors, or that any figure on it is accurate, complete or current. The compiled tables are assembled from public sources and checked against one another, but they have not been audited by a third party and they carry no warranty.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the publisher is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on anything published here. That includes direct, indirect, incidental and consequential losses, and it includes losses arising from a trading or investment decision you made after reading material on this site. You are responsible for your own decisions.

Nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and no page should be read as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any asset. The disclaimer sets out what that means in full, and it forms part of these terms.

Links to other sites

The site links out to primary data sources, to networks' own documentation and, where a calculation genuinely helps, to an external tool. Those sites are run by other people and the publisher has no control over their content, their availability or their practices. Following a link takes you outside these terms, and the terms and privacy policy of the destination site apply from that point. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the other side of it.
