New editorial page: this checklist is based only on the risks already discussed by Super Smart Bitcoin.
Separate protocol from surrounding services
The source article distinguishes the Bitcoin blockchain from exchanges and wallets. A security claim should say which layer it describes.
Ask what volatility changes
Price volatility affects the case for using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange or store of value. Read claims in the context of the proposed use.
Check jurisdiction and timing
Regulatory uncertainty varies by place and can affect access or adoption. Avoid treating one legal status as universal.
Look for capacity constraints
The source highlights processing time and fees during peak demand. Scalability claims should identify the constraint and the trade-off being proposed.
