Welcome to The Bitcoin Manual!
This is a passion project created in July 2021 by two fools who stumbled down the Bitcoin rabbit hole back in 2016 and decided to create a fully packaged online space for normal every day people to find out more about Bitcoin.
We know what it’s like when you first hear about Bitcoin and you think it’s some kind of fad. Then when you go searching online, all you get are people hyping the crap out of it, it sounds like a scam or a ponzi or it’s way too technical to get your head around and you’ll dismiss it.
We’ve been there ourselves!
Over time though, as you hear about it more, you get curious and start to read around, read some news stories and whatnot, your friends and family start talking about it and you want to start getting involved.
That's Where The Bitcoin Manual Comes In!
What we’re aiming to do is share our knowledge and experience of Bitcoin in one handy place to help show you where you can buy it, the tools you need to get started on your own journey, what to be aware of and personal articles from people who aren’t paid shills with ulterior motives. We also have memes which are an essential part too lol!
As the project grows, we’d love to have more normal people join the team to share their perspectives and keep things real as it’s very easy to get caught up in the fanfare!
So take a look around and if you like what you see then share with your friends or if you have any feedback, let us know!
