Bitcoin: Introductory Course
Understand why Bitcoin was created, how it works, and why it matters — in 6 steps.
6steps · ~ 40min
Most people first hear about Bitcoin as an investment. “Should I buy some?” But that question skips the more interesting one: Why does Bitcoin exist at all?
The short answer is that our money is broken. Governments print it, banks multiply it, and ordinary people slowly lose purchasing power without realizing why. Bitcoin was designed as an alternative — digital money that no one controls, with a supply that can never be inflated.
This course won’t ask you to install anything or look at a single line of code. Instead, we’ll start with a simple idea — what makes good money good? — and build from there. By the final step, you’ll understand not just how Bitcoin works, but why someone felt the need to create it and then quietly disappear.
No technical background needed. Just curiosity and about 40 minutes.
