How this page works
Hodler's Handbook does not freeze articles after publication. When a reader emails in a factual error, a stale price, a broken link, a misattribution, or anything else that should not stay on the page, the article gets revised and a line is added below.
Style of corrections:
- Substantive correction — when a fact in the article was wrong and the change alters interpretation. The line below names the article, summarizes what was wrong, and dates the revision.
- Update — when an event or platform change made the article incomplete (a new SEC enforcement action, a new exchange policy, a withdrawn product). The line names the article and the trigger.
- Minor edit — typos, broken links, missing alt text. These are made silently; not every minor edit is logged here.
Log · 2026
2026-05-21 · Update · Exchange Evaluation Handbook — Added the May 2026 Binance Proof of Reserves cycle and the corresponding Merkle root. Adjusted the recommended verification frequency for US-resident readers from quarterly to monthly to reflect the cadence the platform now publishes at.
2026-05-10 · Substantive correction · 2FA truth and Passkey — The first published version said "SMS 2FA blocks SIM swap." That was wrong: SMS 2FA is the weakest link precisely because it does not block SIM swap. The relevant paragraph was rewritten; the surrounding sections on hardware keys and Passkey were unchanged.
2026-04-28 · Update · Phishing scam atlas 2026 — Added the April 2026 Permit2 signature-phishing wave targeting Uniswap users. Removed a paragraph that described an attack vector no longer in active use.
2026-04-12 · Minor · Hardware wallet comparison — Corrected the Trezor Safe 5 secure-element name (was "Optiga Trust" — should have been "Optiga Trust M"). Pricing column updated to current MSRP.
2026-03-30 · Update · Cold vs hot wallet — Added a paragraph on the FBI 2023 cryptocurrency fraud report and updated the US-resident threat-model framing accordingly.
Outstanding inquiries
If you have written in and the matter is not resolved here within seven days, it usually means I am verifying a primary source (a SEC filing, an exchange terms-of-service revision, a hardware-wallet firmware changelog) before publishing the correction. If a longer delay is going to happen, I will email you directly.
