Seven short articles, in order: why money keeps buying less, what Bitcoin changes, and how to keep it safe. Then the first lesson of the course, also free.
10 lessons that take you from zero to a complete understanding of Bitcoin: what it is, why it exists, how it works, and how to hold it yourself. No technical background needed.
Want a hand doing it for real? I'll walk you through self-custody, your own node, or a private lesson, one-on-one. You keep the keys the whole way.
This isn't a developer course. It isn't a trading strategy. It's for people who keep hearing about Bitcoin and want someone to explain it clearly, from the beginning, without an agenda.
You've heard Bitcoin mentioned a hundred times but never found an explanation that didn't feel like a sales pitch or a lecture in computer science.
A parent, pastor, friend, or mentor who wants to explain Bitcoin accurately. These lessons are built to be shared.
You bought some on an exchange. You've heard "not your keys, not your coins." You want to know what that actually means and what to do about it.
No one pays to be mentioned on this site. Bsecure was founded by Justin to make Bitcoin understandable, with no venture funding, no corporate sponsors, and no advertisers to please. The course cites its sources inline, and if something turns out to be wrong, it gets corrected, not buried. More about Justin
A short answer to each, and a full article behind it with the history and the sources.
No. One bitcoin is 100,000,000 smaller units called satoshis, and Bitcoin's own software keeps every balance in satoshis. Most people who own bitcoin own a small fraction of one.
What Is a Satoshi? →No. They get filed under one word, but they differ in how they launched, who controls them, and whether the supply can change. Bitcoin's supply rule is fixed. Its price is not.
Is Bitcoin the Same as Crypto? →No one does it alone. Developers propose changes, miners build the blocks, and nodes check every block against the rules. Companies and miners can have a loud voice, but none of them can make your node accept a rule you do not run.
Who Runs Bitcoin? →No one has broken the math that protects a well-made key. What fails is what surrounds it: companies that hold keys for their customers, keys made carelessly, and people tricked into giving them away. Exchanges get hacked; that is not the same as Bitcoin being hacked.
Can Bitcoin Be Hacked? →Bitcoin is recorded on a public ledger, and what you actually hold is the secret key that can move it. Coins left on an exchange are a claim on that company. Holding your own keys trades the risk that a company fails you for the risk that you fail yourself, so it is worth learning properly.
Holding Your Own Keys →No. Every transaction is public and stays public. No names are written in them, but names get attached in other ways, and once an address is linked to you, its history is linked too.
Is Bitcoin Anonymous? →Enter your license key to unlock the course on this device. It looks like BSEC-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX and is in your welcome email.
