The plain-language anchor of the track. Frames Bitcoin from the start as real money and a bearer asset, distinct from the wider crypto market: its origin, the double-spend problem it solved, its 5 defining properties, why it is digital gold with wings, and honest answers to the objections every newcomer raises.
This is the plain language anchor of Track 1. Having built the economics in courses 1 to 3 and the scarcity machinery in course 4, I now frame Bitcoin from the start as what it is, money and a bearer asset, distinct from the wider crypto landscape of tokens and platforms. You will learn Bitcoin's origin and purpose, the double spend problem it solved, its 5 defining properties, why it is digital gold with wings, and the clear line between one monetary good and thousands of tokens. I close by working through the objections every newcomer raises.
This sets the spine for the whole curriculum: real, self custodied bitcoin first. This is educational content, not financial advice.
