THE BITCOIN FIELD GUIDE

A practical, plain-English Bitcoin Field Guide for people who want to understand the network before putting money on the line. Learn how Bitcoin works, why self-custody matters, and how wallets, UTXOs, fees, Lightning, mining, privacy, and running a node fit together.

I've done the hard, heavy research so you can spend less time hunting through scattered sources and more time building a useful mental model. Inside are checklists, major milestones, safety questions, a glossary, notes page, and practical prompts for independent research. Explore the guide, then verify current details before acting.
