Where people start
The top five things people ask me
…and a bonus they don't ask, but probably should.
- What is Bitcoin, really?How can I use it, and why Bitcoin rather than "crypto"?
- My friend just bought some.Should I?
- I want to buy bitcoin but don't know where to start.Can you walk me through it?
- I just bought some.How do I store it safely?
- What should I buy to get 10x in six months?(We'll talk about that one.)
- Bonus: what should I NOT do?How do I avoid the scams?
If you're comfortable digging through hours of YouTube videos, wikis, and Discord and Telegram channels, you can eventually answer these yourself. If you'd rather have someone walk you through it, I can give you not just the what and the how, but the why, and the next steps that are right for you.
