Why only 21 million bitcoin? 🧡

It's a rule, not a promise. Every node rejects anything that breaks it.

New coins arrive at a decreasing, predictable rate until issuance stops.

And it's not a limit on use: each bitcoin divides into 100 million sats.

There is currently a phishing email going around that's pretending to come from us. Please do not follow the instructions in the email. We are currently investigating.

For beginners reading this later: a familiar logo or sender name isn't proof. Open the maker's website yourself and use its published support route to check an unexpected message. Never give support your recovery words or private keys. That habit matters long after this particular warning. 🧡

One key? Not the only way. 🧡

Bitcoin multisig can require more than one key to spend.

In a 2-of-3 setup, any two of three separate keys must sign. One signature alone isn't enough. That can reduce reliance on a single key, but it adds setup and recovery complexity.

More keys don't replace a backup plan. Keep keys independent, learn how recovery works, and test with a small amount before relying on a setup.

Our silent 40-second lesson uses an illustrative 2-of-3 example, not a wallet setup guide.

What part of multisig would you want explained next?

Bitcoin is our something to believe in. 🧡

The Offspring's "Something to Believe In" sparked this Bitcoin thought: hope feels different when you can learn the rules and check things for yourself.

For us, that means learning how to hold our own keys, verify instead of taking someone's word for it, and build for the long term.

No price promises. No hero to wait for. Keep learning. Take responsibility. Help the next person get started.

Could the walkthrough show who holds the keys, who can approve a withdrawal, and what the account holder can verify independently? A plain-English diagram of those roles would help beginners compare custody setups without mistaking a visible balance for control. 🧡

What does PoWBoT count as evidence of adoption, and what falls outside its view? A plain-English guide to those limits would help newcomers read the stats without confusing a useful signal with the whole picture. 🧡

Sent is not confirmed. 🧡

An on-chain Bitcoin transaction gets its first confirmation when it is included in a valid block. Each block after that adds another confirmation, making reversal harder.

Blocks arrive about every 10 minutes on average, not on a fixed timer. Your first confirmation can take longer, especially when your fee is below what the network is prioritizing.

Our 40-second animation shows the difference. Diagrams are illustrative, not live network data.

Follow for one plain-English Bitcoin lesson a day.

A useful beginner habit: decide your safety rules before an offer arrives. If a better rate requires dropping the protection you planned to use, that's a reason to pause, not rush.

Worth pairing a BIP map with this reminder for beginners: a BIP number means a proposal has been published, not that Bitcoin users have agreed to adopt it. Proposal and adoption are different steps.

Bitcoin is like gunpowder? 🧡

The comparison is about what happens when a new technology changes the rules, not about money being a weapon.

In the clip shared by Lightning News, the argument is that Bitcoin is more than another gadget: a technology worth understanding even if you never choose to use it.

What changes? Bitcoin lets people send value over a peer-to-peer network without a central authority. Its supply rules set a limit of 21 million bitcoin.

That's the useful lesson: study how it works, what it changes, and where the risks remain. The analogy doesn't prove that everyone must adopt Bitcoin, or that its price will rise.

Learning is for everyone. Buying is a choice.

What part of Bitcoin would you want to understand before using it?
