Three things I will never do
Contact a student or a reader privately about their holdings, their wallet, or an opportunity. Anyone who claims to be me and does is a scam. Tell you to hurry. Ask for your seed phrase. Nobody needs it. Not me, not this website, not support, not a friend. The three rules from my first class, and from Chapter 11.
How I make money from this
I sell this book. I have no stake in any account, fund, app, or company named in the book or on this site, and no affiliate links. Every product named is an example, not a recommendation. This is education, not advice. I am a teacher, not your advisor. Decide for yourself, and research anything before you use it.
Where you will find me
Teaching Bitcoin Basics at UNLV’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, ten sessions and a field trip. At a free monthly Bitcoin meetup I co-founded, where nobody asks what you own. Speaking to classes, book clubs, and libraries. Invite me. Questions about the book: ybbook@proton.me. I reply within 1 business day.
