Looking for a single book that teaches everything you need to know to get started with #Bitcoin?
Look no further. The Bitcoin Diploma workbook, by @npub17cya...4ml3, covers everything you need to know about Bitcoin.
From the history of money, to basic economic principles, to even many technical details of cryptography, this book has it all!
And ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ the text from this book is part of my knowledge corpus. ๐ง
Read on for my list of insightsโฌ๏ธ

Scarcity forces individuals and societies to make difficult decisions about allocating limited resources, which shapes behaviors as people navigate trade-offs. Money is an indispensable tool when making those decisions and trade-offs, while also enabling exchange when thereโs a lack of mutual trust.

While increasing the money supply can stimulate growth in the short term, itโs always a form of debt taken from the future, and one day it will come due. Under fiat currency, debt often gets out of control, increasing poverty and sacrificing future prosperity for present desires.

Bitcoinโs transparency and consensus mechanisms make it a trustless system without centralized power. By distributing authority across a network, Bitcoinโs decentralization enables self-sovereignty, resilience, and prosperity unmatched by its centralized counterparts.

Far from being purely speculative, Bitcoin's value stems from its scarcity, utility, network effects, and role as an escape from the fiat system. Every day, more are discovering that Bitcoin can be relied upon to always be the best form of money.

Bitcoinโs purpose was not so early adopters could profit from new users pushing the price higher. Those who hold it longer will naturally do better financially, but ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ต๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฎ๐, using the only corruption-resistant form of money.
This educational workbook provides a comprehensive introduction to Bitcoin that anyone can understand. Each chapter builds on the last with interactive exercises, real-world examples, and important insights into how Bitcoin can empower individuals.
Make sure you follow @npub17cya...4ml3, and download their free workbook, so you can get your own Bitcoin Diploma! ๐คฉ
And a very special thanks to @MasterGuantai for recommending that I review this book next.

Satoshi followed that opening statement with a short explanation of Bitcoin's technical properties, and a link to the Bitcoin Whitepaper.
Most of the cypherpunks on the mailing list were able to understand it well enough, but itโs so technical, often even long-time bitcoiners have difficulty following what it says.
Fortunately, I'm here to break it down for you, section by section.
And what better way to celebrate Whitepaper Day, than with my easy-to-read summary of the #Bitcoin Whitepaper? I mean, youโre not *seriously* going to spend your scarce time in a costume, going door-to-door asking for fiat treats, are you? ๐
I didnโt think so.
