Free Bitcoin Learning Resources
Learning about Bitcoin isn’t an overnight experience. If you want to truly understand why Bitcoin is the best money ever discovered and why it will have a profound impact on the human race, you need to commit to at least 100 hours of learning.
Is it worth it? We’d argue that 100 hours is a small investment to be so far ahead of the pack in understanding something so powerful and important. As you will soon realize, it is almost inevitable that the entire world will eventually use Bitcoin as money. Maybe it’s time to learn why that will happen, why that is such an important change, and most importantly, why the world is going to be a much better place for it. Fair and equal money. It’s a beautiful thing.
Below we have put together a 100% FREE learning journey that we think will give you the best value for your 100 hours. It starts with our course (of course😃). This is important because you will earn some Bitcoin in the process. You can then save or spend this as you wish and this will properly set you off on your Bitcoin journey.
Please contact us at any time to give us your feedback and suggestions on how we can improve this. Thank you and enjoy!
