Is there a lot of technical content?

No, the aim of this guide is to allow anybody to understand Bitcoin, even if they've never heard about it before. Bitcoin can get very technical, but it's kept to a minimum in this guide.

Bitcoin isn't that interesting. Why should I care?

If you think Bitcoin isn't interesting then you just haven't learnt enough about it. Cryptocurrencies, whether Bitcoin or otherwise are the future of money, so understanding what they are and what they mean for the future is key to staying ahead of the curve.

Will I actually learn anything from this?

Well that depends. If you're already a Bitcoin expert then nice work. But if you're like 99% of people and you still don't quite get it, or you just haven't heard much about it, then there's so much this guide can teach you.

Bitcoin touches on so many different fields, from cryptography and computer science, to economics and finance, to history and sociology. Unless you have a firm understanding of how all these fields and more impact Bitcoin, then you still have more to learn.

I'd rather invest the money, why should I buy this guide instead?

It's true, you could buy bitcoin instead and it might end up making you some money. But the value you'd get from investing in this guide will far outweigh that return, as better understanding what you're doing and why you're doing it will set you up for far greater future success.

I just want to learn how to trade Bitcoin. Will this guide show me how?

No, this guide doesn't include anything about short-term 'day-trading'. But if you're interested in that, it's still incredibly valuable to understand where Bitcoin came from and where it's likely to go, so you can better predict its long term trajectory.

I heard Bitcoin is going to the moon. Will it make me rich?

No it isn't, no it won't, and stop talking like that.

As we discuss in the guide, Bitcoin's price is probably the least interesting thing about it, even though it's what most people pay attention to. There's so much more to Bitcoin than just tracking its price every day, and this guide will show you why.
