Getting Started With Bitcoin

Due to central banking, fiat currency, and Keynesianism, money is broken. This is why Cypherpunks had, for decades, been researching for ways of delinking the capacity of creating money from technocrats and politicians, to minimize human agency risk, guaranteeing scarcity, but within global permissionless computing systems. The result was the invention of Bitcoin (BTC): A peer-to-peer, decentralized digital asset that is costly to create, durable, portable, divisible, fungible, and transferable over communication channels, which minimizes the dependence on trusted third parties. From how it works, to its philosophy and security, this series has all you need to understand, use, and invest in BTC.
