Reading crypto headlines without the hype

Start with the claim

A headline compresses a complicated event into a few words. Before drawing a conclusion, identify what actually happened: an announcement, a proposal, a completed release, or an observation. Those are different kinds of evidence. A planned product is not a shipped product.

Follow the original source

Open the underlying announcement or technical document. Check who published it, when it was published, and what it does not establish. Screenshots and summaries can leave out qualifications. Record the source alongside any notes so you can revisit the claim later.

Put numbers in context

Ask which period, market and measurement a number describes. A change over an hour tells a different story from a change over a year. If a report does not explain its method, treat the comparison as incomplete. Context is more useful than an isolated superlative.
