Disclosures.
What this site is and isn't.

Affiliate relationships

This site earns no commission from any product, service, or platform it recommends.

No company has paid to appear on this site. No company has paid to not appear. All recommendations reflect a genuine assessment of what works, not a revenue arrangement.

Where the site mentions a specific product (Fidelity, Schwab, Amex, River, Coldcard, Trezor, etc.), the mention is there because the tool is genuinely useful, not because anyone is paying for it to be.

What this site holds

The person who runs this site holds Bitcoin. Only Bitcoin.

No index funds. No Roth IRA. No 401(k). No SCHD. No diversified portfolio.

This site recommends those things because they are the right tools for most people in most situations. That recommendation is genuine and evidence-based.

The owner has made a different personal choice, a concentrated, long-term Bitcoin position held in self-custody. They understand the risk. A 70 to 80% drawdown is possible and has happened before verify×DON'T TRUST, VERIFYClaim: Bitcoin has had multiple drawdowns of 70-80% or greater.Verify at: Bitcoin Price History (internal) · CoinGecko BTC historical ↗2014-15 (~85%), 2018 (~84%), 2022 (~77%) drawdowns documented in price history.. A total loss, while considered unlikely by the owner, is not impossible.

They are at peace with either outcome.

This is not a recommendation to do the same. It is a disclosure so you know exactly where the person behind this site stands.

The site owner remains anonymous. The only contact is shrimpstacked@fiatisfake.org.

Not financial advice

Nothing on this site is financial advice. Everything here is educational content.

Your situation is different from everyone else's. Make decisions based on your own research and, where appropriate, consultation with a fiduciary professional. The site can help you understand concepts and see the priority order. It cannot know your specific circumstances.

How the site is funded

This site has no revenue. It is not monetized. There are no ads, no sponsored content, no affiliate revenue, no paid placements, no newsletter upsell, and no premium tier.

Running costs (domain, hosting, email) are covered personally by the person who built it. That is the full story.

Errors & corrections

If you find a factual error, outdated information, or a broken source link, email shrimpstacked@fiatisfake.org with the page URL and the specific claim.

Corrections are made promptly and a last-updated date appears at the bottom of each page. The site runs on the same "don't trust, verify" principle it writes about. If a claim can't survive scrutiny, the claim changes, not the scrutiny.
