These are a few of my favourite “go to” resources for beginning to understand WHY Bitcoin. I’ll do my best to keep adding to this page!
Please note: you do NOT need to 100% understand everything! Regularly allocating a small amount into Bitcoin — on a weekly or monthly basis, for example — is a great way to get some ‘skin in the game’. Treat it as a long term savings vehicle to incentivise your learning journey and ALWAYS have a time horizon of 4 years absolute minimum.
The Buy Bitcoin page will help you start that process and automate it so it’s not a time consuming distraction. Once you understand the importance of this, the goal is to be able to live your best life, knowing that your financial future is secured. How much stress and day-to-day anxiety would that relieve?!
The more you learn, the more you buy…
…so start small and keep learning 🧡

Podcasts
I may be biased, but I reckon some of my chats with Bitcoiners have been pretty cool… so feel free to see what mine is all about by clicking here!
Alternatively, the below are a selection of some of my favourites in the Bitcoin space. Many of which are hosted by people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet in person and am proud to call new friends — some of the smartest people I have ever come into contact with. I now plan much of my travel around connecting with them at events all over the world.
