The toolkit, curated.

A short, opinionated list of what every bitcoiner should know how to use. These are mere suggestions, not official endorsements. Everything on this page is bitcoin-only.

── Learn ──

If you're starting, start here. If you think you already know, read the newsletter anyway.

── Buy without drama ──

Bitcoin-only on-ramps. Boring on purpose. No tokens, no launches, no staking.

── Keep your keys · software ──

Where you actually look at your coins. All non-custodial. All audit-friendly.

── Keep your keys · hardware ──

Devices that sign transactions without ever putting your seed on an internet-connected computer.

── Multi-sig and inheritance ──

When a single key is no longer the right security model. For larger balances, shared treasuries, and handing coins to the next generation.

── Run a node ──

Validating the chain yourself is the entire point. None of these ask permission to run.

── Lightning and merchants ──

The rails for accepting sats without a processor in the middle.

── Nostr ──

The publishing side of sovereignty. An identity you own, posts that survive the platform.

── Mining worth pointing at ──

Where the hashrate goes next matters as much as the hashrate itself.

── Read and listen ──

Signal sources, roughly in order from technical to philosophical.

── Find places that take it ──

Bitcoin is a currency when people treat it like one. These help.

── Funders of the code ──

Non-profits and investors paying the people who write Bitcoin. Worth knowing about, worth donating to, worth applying to if you're the one writing the code.
