Curious about the history of Bitcoin?
The Rise of Bitcoin (American Institute for Economic Research)
A readable account of early Bitcoin history.
Want your paycheck in bitcoin?
Strikeaffiliate
I use Strike's direct deposit to dollar-cost average: part of each paycheck buys bitcoin automatically. In the app, open your account, then Direct deposit, for the routing and account numbers to give your employer. Referral code J7FBQK gives us both a small bonus.
Ready for a hardware wallet?
Coldcardaffiliate
Once you hold a meaningful amount, keep your keys on a dedicated device. I use a Coldcard.
Tracking transactions for taxes?
ZenLedgeraffiliate
Calculates cost basis and prepares tax forms, and can give your CPA read-only access. Free to try; priced by the number of transactions per year.
Need web hosting?
GetAHostNowaffiliate
The host I've worked with for years. They're selective about customers, which makes them great for the ones they take on.
