What Hannah Lowe covers here
Everything published on Crypto Explained Simply is written by one person, and the scope is deliberately narrow: buying and onboarding, wallets and storage, core concepts, taxes and regulation basics. Articles stay inside it rather than chasing whatever is trending.
How the writing is checked
Figures carry the date they were taken. Claims that can be verified link to a primary source rather than to another article summarising it. Where something is genuinely uncertain, the article says so instead of rounding the uncertainty away.
Corrections are published with a note saying what changed and when. If you find an error, the contact page is the fastest route.
