About BitcoinMargin

BitcoinMargin.com is an independent educational platform covering cryptocurrency trading mechanics, margin and leverage math, derivatives funding, on-chain economics, and the wider digital-asset market. The site launched in 2022, in the months following the Terra/Luna collapse in May 2022 and ahead of the FTX failure that November — two events that exposed how poorly most retail users understood the mechanics behind the products they were using. Our goal from day one has been to publish the kind of resource we wished existed when we first traded a perpetual swap: precise about formulas, honest about risk, and free of the sponsored framing that dominates most exchange-affiliated content. The audience is broad on purpose. Beginners use the calculators to see how a 10x position on $1,000 of collateral liquidates with a 9–10% adverse move before fees, or how an 8-hour funding payment of 0.01% compounds across a week of holding. Intermediate traders use the funding-rate dashboards, basis trackers, and gas-fee tools to size positions and time on-chain transactions. Researchers and students use the long-form guides on topics like CEX vs. DEX order routing, MiCA's stablecoin rules that took effect in June 2024, the Dencun upgrade in March 2024, and the Pectra upgrade rolled out in 2025. Everything is free, and nothing is gated behind a sign-up form.

What the platform actually delivers falls into three buckets. First, interactive calculators: margin and liquidation-price tools for isolated and cross-margin positions, funding-rate accumulators, profit-and-loss simulators with fee inputs, dollar-cost-averaging back-testers, gas-fee converters that translate gwei into USD at live ETH prices, and fiat-to-crypto converters covering 160+ currencies. Second, long-form guides — typically 1,500 to 4,000 words — that walk through exchange order types, the difference between mark price and last price for liquidation, how insurance funds and auto-deleveraging work, and protocol-level mechanics like EIP-1559 base-fee burning or restaking through EigenLayer. Third, live data widgets sourced from CoinGecko, Binance, Etherscan, and Alternative.me so that the numbers in any worked example match what a reader sees on an exchange in real time. The people who benefit most are self-directed users who want to understand what they are clicking before they click it. We do not sell signals, do not run a Discord, do not manage funds, and do not publish price predictions. When a guide includes an exchange link, it is disclosed as an affiliate link and the underlying recommendation logic — fee schedule, jurisdictions supported, asset coverage — is explained so the reader can verify the claim independently.

The guides, market explainers, tool copy, and translations on BitcoinMargin are generated with artificial intelligence (large language models) working under human direction. Before publication, every page passes automated verification: formula and calculation checks, data cross-checks against the primary sources listed above, translation-coverage checks, and rendering tests. In line with Article 50(4) of the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), pages carry a clearly visible "AI-generated content" notice.

MN Media s.r.o. directs this process and holds editorial responsibility for what is published on bitcoinmargin.com. If you spot an error, email contact@bitcoinmargin.com — factual corrections are prioritized and typically shipped within 24 hours.

Some outbound links to exchanges, hardware wallets, tax software, and developer tools on this site are affiliate links. When a reader clicks one of those links, creates an account, and meets the partner's qualifying criteria — typically a minimum deposit, a first trade, or a fee threshold within 30 to 90 days — BitcoinMargin.com receives a one-time referral payment or a share of the trading fees the partner charges. The reader pays the same price either way; affiliate revenue comes out of the partner's marketing budget, not from a markup on the user's fees. Many partners actually offer better fee tiers or sign-up bonuses through tracked affiliate links than through the unreferred public sign-up flow. Affiliate revenue funds hosting, API subscriptions (CoinGecko Pro, Open Exchange Rates, Metals-API), and the time spent writing and updating guides. It does not buy editorial placement. We do not accept payment to publish reviews, and we have refused partnerships from several exchanges whose risk controls, audit history, or jurisdictional posture we did not want to endorse. When an affiliate relationship exists, the link is marked with a disclosure and the partner is named — for example, when we link to Binance, Bybit, Kraken, or Ledger, the relationship is disclosed at the point of the link and again in our master partners list. Calculators, data widgets, and educational guides are written first; affiliate links are added afterward only where they are genuinely relevant to the reader's task. If a guide describes a feature only one exchange offers, that exchange is named whether or not we have an affiliate deal with them.

For corrections, data errors, broken calculators, factual disputes, or guide suggestions, email contact@bitcoinmargin.com. We aim to respond within two business days (Monday–Friday, excluding EU public holidays). Factual corrections — wrong formulas, outdated fee schedules, broken API integrations, mislabeled exchange features — are prioritized and typically patched within 24 hours; the corresponding page footer is updated with a "last reviewed" date once the fix ships. We welcome a few specific kinds of inquiries: (1) corrections, with a link or screenshot showing the discrepancy; (2) guest-contribution pitches from researchers, protocol engineers, or compliance professionals with verifiable expertise — please include two writing samples; (3) partnership and affiliate inquiries from exchanges, wallets, and infrastructure providers, which are reviewed against our editorial criteria before any link goes live; (4) press and academic citation requests; and (5) accessibility feedback, which we treat as a bug report and triage on the same SLA as a broken calculator. What we do not handle: account recovery on third-party exchanges, withdrawal disputes, lost-key recovery, tax filings, or any kind of personalized investment advice. If you have lost access to funds on Binance, Kraken or any other venue, contact that exchange's support directly — we have no privileged channel and impersonators claiming otherwise on Telegram or X are scams. For PGP-encrypted correspondence (security disclosures, vulnerability reports), the public key fingerprint is published in our security.txt file at /.well-known/security.txt.
