Welcome to the /r/Bitcoin Newcomers FAQ You've probably been hearing a lot about Bitcoin recently and are wondering what's the big deal? Most of your questions should be answered by the resources below but if you have additional questions feel free to ask them in the comments. It all started with the release of Satoshi Nakamoto's whitepaper however that will probably go over the head of most readers so we recommend the following articles/books/videos as a good starting point for understanding how Bitcoin works and a little about its long term potential: Article: The Bullish Case for Bitcoin Book: The Bitcoin Standard - or download a free copy here Video 1: An introduction to Bitcoin - Wences Casares Video 2: The Stories We Tell About Money - Andreas Antonopoulos Video 3: The Bitcoin Standard - Saifdean Ammous Video 4: Bitcoin 101 - Balaji Srinivasan Some other great educational resources include; The Satoshi Nakamoto Institute (check them out!) SatoshiTimeline.com Swan Bitcoin Canon Michael Saylor's Hope.com and "Bitcoin for Everybody"' course Bitcoinfo.org resource page Gigi's resource page James D'Angelo's Bitcoin 101 Blackboard series Parker Lewis's Gradually Then Suddenly series Some Bitcoin statistics can be found here (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). A Reading List of Advanced Bitcoin Books The statewide Bitcoin strategic reserve race If you are technically or academically inclined check out; Developer resources (1, 2) Peer-reviewed research papers Course lectures from both MIT and Princeton Future protocol improvements and scaling resources. MicroStrategy's Bitcoin for Corporations is an excellent open source series on corporate legal and financial Bitcoin integration. You can also see the number of times Bitcoin was declared dead by the media (LOL!) Key properties of Bitcoin Limited Supply - There will only ever be a maximum of 21,000,000 bitcoins created and they are issued in a predictable fashion per the inflation schedule. Once they are all issued Bitcoin will be truly deflationary. The halving countdown tells you approximately how much time until the next block reward halving. Open source - Bitcoin code is fully auditable. You can read and contribute to the source code yourself. Accountable - The public ledger is transparent, all transactions are seen by everyone. Decentralized - Bitcoin is globally distributed across thousands of nodes with no single point of failure and as such can't be shut down similar to how Bittorrent works. You can even run a node on a Raspberry Pi. Censorship resistant - No one can prevent you from interacting with the Bitcoin network and no one can censor, alter or block transactions that they disagree with, see Operation Chokepoint. Push system - There are no chargebacks in Bitcoin because only the person who owns the address where the bitcoin resides has the authority to move them. Borderless - No country can stop it from going in/out, even in areas currently unserved by traditional banking as the ledger is globally distributed. Trustless - Bitcoin solved the Byzantine's Generals Problem which means nobody needs to trust anybody for it to work. Pseudonymous - No need to expose personal information when purchasing with cash or transacting. Secure - Blocks and transactions are cryptographically secured (using hashes and signatures) and can’t be brute forced or confiscated with proper key management such as hardware wallets. Programmable - Individual units of bitcoin can be programmed to transfer based on certain criteria being met Divisible - Each bitcoin can be divided down to 8 decimals, which means you don't have to worry about buying an entire bitcoin. Nearly instant - From a few seconds on the Lightning Network to a few minutes on-chain depending on need for confirmations. Transactions are irreversible by normal users after one confirmation and irreversible by anyone (including miners) after 6 confirmations. Peer-to-peer - No intermediaries taking a cut, no need for trusted third parties. Designed Money - Bitcoin was created to fit all the fundamental properties of money better than gold or fiat. Portable - Bitcoin are digital so they are easier to move than cash or gold. They can be transported by simply carrying a seed (a string of 12 to 24 words) on a device or by memorizing it for wallet recovery (while cool, memorizing is generally not recommended due to potential for forgetting the seed and the potential for insecure key generation by inexperienced users. Hardware wallets are the preferred method for most users for their ease of use and additional security). Low fee scaling - Most wallets calculate on chain fees automatically but you can view fee estimates and mempool activity if you want to set your fee manually. On chain fees may rise occasionally due to network demand, however instant micropayments that do not require confirmations are happening via the Lightning Network, an open source second layer payment protocol built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. The Lightning Network enables Bitcoin users to instantly send and receive bitcoin with fees so low that they are negligible. Scalable - While the protocol is still being optimized for increased transaction capacity, blockchains do not scale very well, so most transaction volume is expected to occur on Layer 2 networks built on top of Bitcoin. Where can I buy bitcoin? Bitcoin.org and BuyBitcoinWorldwide.com are helpful sites for beginners. You can buy or sell any amount of bitcoin (even just a few dollars worth) and there are several easy methods to purchase bitcoin with cash, credit card or bank transfer. Some of the more popular places to buy bitcoin are listed below. Strike Cash App Swan River Financial Bull Bitcoin Bitcoin Well Relai LibertyX CoinCorner Bisq (decentralized & P2P) HodlHodl (P2P) List of peer-to-peer exchanges Debifi (non-custodial lending) You can also purchase in cash with local ATMs. If you would like your paycheck automatically converted to bitcoin try Bitwage. For comparing bitcoin loans, Borrow On Bitcoin, may be a helpful tool. Note: Bitcoin are valued at whatever market price people are willing to pay for them in balancing act of supply vs demand. Unlike traditional markets, bitcoin markets operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Securing your bitcoin With Bitcoin you can "Be your own bank" and personally secure your bitcoin OR you can use third party companies aka "Bitcoin banks" which will hold your bitcoin for you. If you prefer to "Be your own bank" and have direct control over your coins without having to use a trusted third party, then you will need to create your own wallet and keep it secure. If you want easy and secure storage without having to learn best computer security practices, then a hardware wallet such as a BitBox02, Trezor, ColdCard, or Blockstream Jade is recommended. You can even build your own open source hardware wallets called a SeedSigner or Krux. If you cannot afford a hardware wallet there are many software wallet options to choose from depending on your use case. Mobile wallets like BlueWallet are generally more secure than desktop wallets. Beware of fake mobile wallets and check reviews from reputable Bitcoin websites. Avoid paper wallets or brain wallets. If you prefer to work with third party "Bitcoin banks" to set up a collaborative custody arrangement, try Unchained Capital but be aware that any third party you use exposes you to third party risk. There is a saying in the community, "Not your keys, not your coins". Note: For increased security, use Two Factor Authentication (2FA) everywhere it is offered, including email! 2FA requires a second confirmation code or a physical security key to access your account making it much harder for thieves to gain access. Google Authenticator and Authy are the two most popular 2FA services, download links are below. Make sure you create backups of your 2FA codes. Avoid using your cell number for 2FA. Hackers have been using a technique called "SIM swapping" to impersonate users and steal bitcoin off exchanges. Google Auth Authy OTP Auth Android Android N/A iOS iOS iOS Physical security keys (FIDO U2F) offer stronger security than Google Auth / Authy and other TOTP-based apps, because the secret code never leaves the device and it uses bi-directional authentication so it prevents phishing. If you lose the device though, you could lose access to your account, so always use 2 or more security keys with a given account so you have backups. See Yubikey or Titan to purchase security keys. Running Bitcoin You can run Bitcoin node software by downloading and installing Bitcoin Core or other node software you have vetted. It is a best practice to verify these Bitcoin node programs you download by checking their hashes and signatures. Don't Trust, Verify. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases https://bitcoincore.org https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/ A verified Bitcoin node running on your own hardware is your sovereign gateway to the Bitcoin network. They can be used alongside open source software wallets to send and receive Bitcoin securely. By running your own Bitcoin node, you enforce the Bitcoin ruleset, can verify transactions without trusted 3rd party middlemen, improve your Bitcoin privacy, obtain independence with local access to blockchain data, and help bolster the robustness of the Bitcoin network. By running a Bitcoin node, you are verifying that Bitcoin is Bitcoin for yourself. For more details on running a Bitcoin node see this article. For wallets used alongside your Bitcoin node: If your Bitcoin wallet software is fully open source and Bitcoin-only, then it is probably a decent wallet. Some popular examples include sparrow wallet and electrum wallet, both of which you can connect to your own locally run Bitcoin node, and use with most Bitcoin Hardware Wallets. Watch out for scams As mentioned above, Bitcoin is decentralized, which by definition means there is no official website or Twitter handle or spokesperson or CEO. However, all money attracts thieves. This combination unfortunately results in scammers running official sounding names or pretending to be an authority on YouTube or social media. Many scammers throughout the years have claimed to be the inventor of Bitcoin. Websites like bitcoin(dot)com and the r / btc subreddit are active scams. Almost all altcoins are marketed heavily with big promises but are really just designed to separate you from your bitcoin. So be careful: any resource, including all linked in this document, may in the future turn evil. As they say in our community, "Don't trust, verify". Avoid using ad-based search engines like Google or Yahoo: ads are shown based on how much the advertiser bids, and scammers can easily outbid legitimate providers for ad space, since immoral ways of earning money are far more lucrative than moral ways. Use DuckDuckGo instead, which has no ads, and never tracks you as well. Ignore private messages offering services. Never enter your seed words in a website of any kind. Hardware wallets will recover by displaying possible seed words on their own interface, never on a website. Always check addresses on your hardware wallet before sending or receiving. Some malware has been known to replace addresses in your web browser or that you copy-and-paste. Avoid clicking on links like that look like links, such as https://www.google.com/, without first hovering over it and actually checking where they go to. Just because a link is labelled with an HTTPS address does not mean it actually sends you to that address. It is trivial for someone to comment a link on Reddit that looks like it will send you to one website when it actually sends you to another, and you might not notice the difference until a scammer has gotten all your money, or you have downloaded and installed software that steals your money.

Been looking at wallet-tier data recently and wanted to see what this community makes of it. According to Santiment's on-chain tracking, wallets holding 10–10K BTC added roughly 19,700 BTC over an 8-day period this month, while wallets holding under 0.01 BTC pulled back on buying. Separately, CoinDesk reported that whale addresses accumulated over 270,000 BTC in a two-week window earlier this year — described as the largest on-chain accumulation spike on record. No price predictions here, just trying to understand the pattern: does this kind of wallet-tier divergence actually tell us anything reliable, or is on-chain data overrated as a signal? Genuinely curious how people who've been holding through multiple cycles think about this. submitted by /u/Inevitablelavenda [link] [comments]

I know that past doesn't guarantee future outcomes. But, if I had gone all in since 2021 (starting at the previous peak) and did so throughout the past five years, I would have been able to buy my dream house and car by now. I already have a decent amount of retirement savings. Going to take the risk and put all my discretionary income into Bitcoin for the next four years! Feel free to save this post and I'll update it during the next bull run, and you'll see if I made the right choice or not. submitted by /u/Plus-Fuel8495 [link] [comments]

Three iPhone owners sued Apple last week over a fake Sparrow Wallet app they say they downloaded from the App Store. The plaintiffs say using the bogus app led to the theft of their Bitcoin, resulting in losses of roughly $1.8 million. The lawsuit, Ramirez et al v. Apple, Inc., accuses Cupertino of failing to catch the scam app despite years of marketing the App Store as a safe place to download software. How the fake Sparrow Wallet app stole Bitcoin Apple has spent nearly two decades convincing iPhone owners of the App Store’s security, but that promise is now at the center of a lawsuit alleging that the company’s review process failed miserably. The case underscores a growing problem for Apple: As scams become more sophisticated — and financial losses more devastating — the company’s tightly controlled app ecosystem faces scrutiny not just over how many malicious apps it blocks, but by the few that slip through. According to the complaint, filed Friday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, a fraudulent Sparrow Wallet app found its way to the App Store, mimicking the real thing closely enough to fool experienced crypto users. The real Sparrow Wallet is a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux, but it has never been available on iOS. Plaintiffs James Ramirez, Christopher Ellis and Jalen Delgado say they downloaded the malicious iOS app between May and August 2025. Once installed, the fake Sparrow Wallet app asked them to enter their wallet’s seed phrase — the string of words used to recover a crypto wallet. And that’s exactly what the developers of the copycat Sparrow Wallet app wanted. When users entered their seed phrase, the scammers gained full control of the funds inside the plaintiffs’ accounts. Delgado says he downloaded the app around May 1, 2025, and soon after lost about 1.05 Bitcoin, worth roughly $120,000 at the time. Ramirez and Ellis say they downloaded the fake app last year on July 25 and August 3, respectively. Ramirez lost 7.4 Bitcoin, valued at around $875,000. Ellis lost close to $840,000 worth of crypto. Both say they reported the situation to Apple right away. Apple was warned years prior The lawsuit claims Apple had been previously warned about fake Sparrow Wallet apps. The warning came in early 2024 from Craig Raw, the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet. “There is still a scam ‘Sparrow Wallet’ app on the @Apple App Store, despite myself and others having reported it weeks ago,” Raw said in an X post on January 6, 2024. “Worse, you have to install it to report it. Always go to the wallet’s website to find the link to download it. App stores will not protect you.” In a recent post, the developer said he continued to push Apple to address the fake apps. “Since 2023, more than a dozen fake ‘Sparrow’ apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year,” Raw wrote in an X post on June 22, 2026. “Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators.” Raw even submitted his own placeholder app designed to warn users that any Sparrow Wallet app on iOS is fake. Apple initially flagged his developer account for the submission before reversing course. The complaint also alleges that Apple ranked the fake app in search results and featured it in curated crypto collections. This isn’t Apple’s first brush with fake crypto apps on the App Store. It’s merely the latest incident in a string of crypto wallet scams that have slipped past Apple’s review process. Back in 2023, a fake Trezor wallet app climbed the charts before Apple pulled the plug. A fraudulent Rabby Wallet app appeared in 2024. Earlier this year, a fake Ledger Live app reportedly facilitated the theft of more than $9.5 million from more than 50 victims. And last year, another lawsuit accused Apple over a fake trading app called Swiftcrypt. The plaintiffs in the Sparrow Wallet case are suing Apple under consumer-protection laws that cover California, Louisiana and Massachusetts. The plaintiffs also bring claims of fraudulent and negligent misrepresentations, in addition to accusing Apple of failing to warn users about fake crypto apps. They asked a jury to award damages, reimburse their stolen Bitcoin, and force Apple to strengthen its App Store review process. Apple’s response to crypto scams Apple pushed back on the claims, saying it quickly removed apps impersonating Sparrow Wallet. It also terminated the developer accounts behind the fake apps. While Apple declined to comment on Ramirez et al v. Apple, Inc. specifically, the company told TechCrunch that no Sparrow Wallet copycats are currently listed on the App Store. Apple also pointed to its own data from 2025, which showed it rejected more than 371,000 app submissions. The company says it rejected these submissions for copying other apps, spamming users or attempting to mislead potential downloaders. The fake Sparrow Wallet case is still in its early stages, and Apple has yet to file a formal response in court. submitted by /u/TheresNoSecondBest [link] [comments]

Anyone had this happen to them? I’ve been buying BTC for a few years. And got into it really hard the last 4ish years. And I used to talk to anyone about it, but I do that less and less now. One of my closest friends is so resistant to it, and funny enough he’s the most tech savvy person I know! In the past year I had 3 instances where I brought it up in convo with old friends and new acquaintances, and the reaction was so hostile! I think some of that is ppl being angry they missed out in part… idk. But anyway, yea it’s kind of a rift between me and one of my oldest friends. But I’m kinda at the point in my BTC journey where I believe opting out of the fiat/ debt/ credit creation banking system as it stands is a moral imperative tbh. American society is so out of whack between inflation/healthcare/housing/education… and that’s being brief, but I see the compromised monetary system at the core of it all. Talking politics without talking about money is like talking about plumbing without talking about water. And Americans love to talk politics. Anyway yea my BTC conviction has caused rifts in my relationships. Curious of others stories around this. submitted by /u/Forevererer [link] [comments]

I have watched Bitcoin since approximately 2015. Every time it hit all-time highs I wished I had bought, and every time it hit a cycle low I was glad I didn't. I'm tired of playing the psychological gymnastics of trying to time the perfect bottom. I'm officially biting the bullet and starting a $600/week DCA. I fully expect the market to crash 20% tomorrow just because I finally bought in, but I'm ready to ride it to $200k or zero. submitted by /u/Necessary-Plate3115 [link] [comments]

I've noticed a generational gap in BTC acceptance. I'm 65yo and it seems people my age & older are at best BTC ignorant & at worst totally against it. I know one guy, 76yo, teaches Finance & Econ at a respected university. He's also a partner in a wealth management firm. He thinks BTC is "gambling".

Hi everyone, I've written an essay exploring a philosophical hypothesis about Satoshi Nakamoto. My idea is not that I've identified Satoshi or solved the mystery. Instead, I explore whether his disappearance may have been consistent with Bitcoin's philosophy of decentralization. If Bitcoin was designed to eliminate central authority, then perhaps its creator also chose not to become the center of the project. I also discuss a possible symbolic interpretation of the surname "Nakamoto," while making it clear that this is speculative and not proven. I would genuinely appreciate critical feedback from the community. If you think my reasoning is weak, I'd like to know why. If you think I've overlooked historical evidence or writings by Satoshi, I'd be grateful for references. Thank you for reading. https://github.com/meygrec-cell/satoshi-nakamoto-philosophical-hypothesi-s/blob/main/README.md submitted by /u/meygrec [link] [comments]
