Bitcoin? I've never understood a thing.

Understand money.
Then you'll understand Bitcoin.

A blog for people starting from zero, and private 1:1 lessons.

Start from zero.

The path for people who are starting today: one strong idea at a time, explained with everyday examples.

  1. But what is Bitcoin, really?

    Not just another "virtual" currency: a way to exchange value without asking anyone's permission. We start from bread, not from formulas.

  2. And where does money come from?

    Shells, stones, gold, banknotes. Understanding why something becomes "money" is the key to understanding why Bitcoin exists.

  3. How do I keep it safe?

    "Not your keys, not your coins." What keys are, what a wallet is and the mistakes to never make.

Why do things always cost more?

Can I also ask the questions I'm embarrassed to ask?

Yes.
