Bitcoin Basics exists to help people who are new to Bitcoin understand it, one plain-English step at a time.
Our mission is simple: educate people who are new to Bitcoin, and keep them informed with daily news, adoption news, explainers and helpful articles. No hype and no price predictions, just clear information so you can make up your own mind.
What you’ll find here
- Daily news: short Bitcoin news rundowns on our YouTube channel in the Bitcoin News Today (Daily) playlist.
- Adoption news: a weekly news article on who is adopting Bitcoin and how, from local businesses to banks and governments.
- Beginner explainers: start with What Is a Bitcoin Wallet?, Why There Will Only Ever Be 21 Million Bitcoin and Is Bitcoin Legal in the United States?
- Weekly book quotes: each week we share a quote from the book on the blog and in the Quotes from the Book playlist.
- The book: Bitcoin Basics: Understanding the Future of Money Through Quotes is a short, readable path into Bitcoin through the words of the people who built it and the people who doubted it. Find it on Amazon or Apple Books.
Why it matters
Bitcoin can feel confusing at first, with new words, new ideas and a lot of noise. We believe anyone can understand the basics with the right starting point, and that understanding should come before any decision about using it.
