Learn Bitcoin
From the basics of sound money to its impact on freedom, energy, and human rights. A curated collection of the best resources to understand why Bitcoin matters.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the best money humanity has seen. It's scarce, borderless, and controlled by no company, bank, or government. Launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, it's secured with energy, maintained by a global network of participants, and capped forever at 21 million coins.
Why Bitcoin?
- Sound money — a fixed, predictable supply that can't be inflated nor manipulated
- Decentralised — no single entity controls it; no one can arbitrarily freeze or seize it
- Borderless — send value to anyone, anywhere, at any time
- Censorship-resistant — open to everyone, banned for no one
- Self-custodial — hold your own keys and be your own bank
- Verifiable — anyone can check the rules; no one can change them unilaterally
Getting Started
- Learn first — understand the basics, and invest the time to learn self-custody best practices
- Get a wallet — choose a self-custodial wallet for savings and back up your seed phrase offline
- Stack some sats — start small through a reputable exchange or peer-to-peer
- Withdraw to self-custody — not your keys, not your coins
- Keep verifying — don't trust, verify; stay curious and stay sovereign
Bitcoin Runners & Bitcoin
We believe sound money and sound health go hand in hand. Bitcoin rewards long-term thinking, discipline, and low time preference — the same qualities that make a runner. Lace up, stack sats, and join a global community proving that proof-of-work matters.
