New to Bitcoin?

Start here

This guide assumes you already want self-custody. If you’re still learning what Bitcoin is, start with these, then come back.

The official starting point: what Bitcoin is, how to use it, how to choose a wallet.

Plain-language explainer: the network, mining, keys, addresses. About an hour, no technical background needed.

Jameson Lopp’s curated path: wallets, security, and the fundamentals before you store value.

Ben Perrin’s step-by-step video tutorials: wallets, self-custody, and Sparrow, the software this guide uses.

Clean short guides: blockchain, nodes, addresses, and reading what’s happening on-chain.

The deep end: hundreds of curated links on security, privacy, running a node, and the history of the money.

These are independent educators, not sponsors. Nothing here sells you an account or a token.
