About BitcoinMargin

Learn about BitcoinMargin — our mission to provide free, transparent crypto tools and education. See our data sources, editorial process, and privacy commitments.

Our Mission

BitcoinMargin was built with a simple belief: access to quality financial tools and education should be free. The crypto space is filled with noise — shills, scams, and paywalled content that preys on beginners. We wanted to build something different.

Every tool on this site is free to use, requires no account, and works on any device. We don't collect personal data beyond what's needed for basic analytics. We don't sell courses. We don't run a fund. We build tools and write guides that we wish existed when we started.

What We Are

  • A free, independent educational platform
  • Builders of open-access trading tools and calculators
  • Transparent about our data sources and methodology
  • MiCA-compliant with clear risk disclosures
  • GDPR-compliant with minimal data collection

What We Are Not

  • Not a cryptocurrency exchange or broker
  • Not a financial advisor — we don't give investment advice
  • Not a custodian — we never hold your funds or keys
  • Not sponsored by any exchange (affiliate links are disclosed)
  • Not offering personalized financial recommendations

Privacy & Security

We take your privacy seriously. Here's what that means in practice:

No Account Required

All tools work without registration, login, or email. No personal data is collected to use our calculators or read our guides.

Minimal Data Collection

We use privacy-respecting analytics. IP addresses are hashed (for vote deduplication only) with a 14-day retention period.

Security Headers

Our production site enforces HSTS, Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and other standard security hardening.

GDPR Compliant

Cookie consent with granular controls and withdrawal option. All data practices documented in our Privacy Policy.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some pages on this site contain affiliate links to cryptocurrency exchanges. When you sign up through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps fund the development of free tools and content.

Our commitment: Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content. We recommend platforms based on features, fees, and reliability — not commission rates. All affiliate links are clearly identified with appropriate risk disclosures as required by MiCA regulations.
