Navigating the world of Bitcoin can be challenging. The ability to separate valuable insights from the noise takes time, patience, and trusted resources. Here are some of my favourite resources over the years that I personally use and recommend.
Where to Buy Bitcoin
I personally use and recommend HardBlock, Australia’s longest running and trusted Bitcoin-only only exchange for a number of reasons:
- Transparent pricing
- Exceptional customer support
- Cheap withdrawal fees
How to Secure Bitcoin
One of Bitcoin’s key strengths is the ability to securely hold and manage your own funds without relying on third parties—a powerful feature that lets you send Bitcoin to anyone, anywhere, anytime, without needing permission or facing interference.
However, being your own bank comes with the responsibility of securely managing your Bitcoin. I believe that with some education and guidance, anyone can—and should—take control of their Bitcoin through self-custody.
That’s why I’ve teamed up with Bitcoin Mentor, led by the world’s top Bitcoin educator, BTC Sessions, to offer self-custody services in Australia. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced user looking to level up, we’ll meet you where you are and help ensure your Bitcoin is secure for you and future generations.
Where to Learn About Bitcoin
It takes about 100 hours of learning before Bitcoin “clicks”. That’s typically the minimum investment of time needed to truly appreciate all of Bitcoin’s many facets. I’ve found various books to be most instructive in my journey. There are numerous credible, informative Bitcoin focused books available at Konsensys Network worth checking out. My favourites:
- Layered Money – Nik Bhatia
- The Sovereign Individual – James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg
- The Bitcoin Handbook – Anil Patel
- The Bitcoin Standard – Saifedean Ammous
