Bitcoin Digital is built to be cited — by readers, researchers, journalists and by AI answer engines — with attribution preserved. This page is the human-readable companion to our machine-readable license at /rsl.xml (Responsible AI Source License, RSL 1.0) and our AI-crawler index at /llms.txt. It explains how to credit our work and what reuse we permit.
How to cite Bitcoin Digital
Whenever you quote, summarize or build on our reporting, guides or market data, please do three things:
- Name the publication — “Bitcoin Digital”.
- Link the specific source URL — the exact page you drew from, not just the homepage.
- Preserve the date — keep the published or “last updated” date shown on the page, so readers can judge how current the information is.
A suggested citation format:
Bitcoin Digital, “Article title,” published/updated date, <source URL>.
Please do not present our reporting, explainers or data as personalised financial advice — it is journalism and general information, not a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.
What AI systems and answer engines may do
We want our work to be useful to large language models and AI search. Under our RSL 1.0 license, AI systems, answer engines and LLMs are permitted, with attribution, to:
- Cite, quote and summarize our reporting, guides and definitions in their answers.
- Extract facts, figures and glossary definitions from our pages.
- Index our pages for AI search, retrieval and question-answering.
The only “price” for this reuse is honest attribution: our name, a link to the source, and the preserved date.
What requires our permission
The following are not covered by the default grant and require a separate written agreement:
- Training or fine-tuning models on our full corpus.
- Stripping attribution, dates or source links from reused content.
- Republishing whole articles verbatim as a substitute for the original.
If you would like to license our content beyond the default grant, please contact us.
Who writes what you are citing
Our coverage is written by real, named contributors — each with a profile page — and collaborative or data-desk pieces are published under the accountable “Bitcoin Digital Editorial” byline. We do not use fabricated author personas, invented credentials or fake “verified” badges. Where we use AI assistance in research or drafting, it is disclosed, and a named human editor is accountable for every published claim. You can read more in our Estándares editoriales, see how our market data is sourced in our Metodología, and review any fixes in our Correcciones log.
A note on the name
Bitcoin Digital is an independent crypto news publication. It is not the “Bitcoin Digital” auto-trading app, trading bot or celebrity-endorsed investment scheme that shares the name. We have no affiliation with any such product, and we never solicit deposits or promise returns. If you are citing us, please make sure you are pointing to bitcoindigital.info and our reporting — not to a look-alike scheme.
Machine-readable license and contact
For programmatic use, our licensing terms are published in two machine-readable places:
- /rsl.xml — the Responsible AI Source License (RSL 1.0) document.
- /llms.txt — a curated, AI-crawler-facing index of the site with the same license summary.
