News & Research

You will find every article on Banking on Bitcoin in one list, newest first: beginner guides, deep dives and research on money, technology, investing and security. The articles explain how Bitcoin works and what the rules say, and they avoid price predictions and product recommendations. If the subject is new, begin with the Start Here path.

No. The site does not publish price predictions, rank products or give personalized financial, tax or legal advice. Articles explain how things work and where the risks are, so you can ask better questions of a qualified professional. The editorial standards set out these rules in full.

Use the category pages for broad subjects, such as Money & Economics, Technology, Investing or Security, and the topic pages for narrower ones, such as mining or privacy. The search button in the page header also searches every article.

Start with the Start Here learning path, which puts four core guides in order, beginning with What Is Bitcoin?. Then it covers why Bitcoin has value, how it works, and how to buy and secure it. Read them in sequence before the deeper research, and treat nothing here as advice to buy.

Guides are shorter explainers that build a foundation, such as How Does Bitcoin Work?. Deep dives are longer reads on one subject, such as The History of Bitcoin or Inside a Bitcoin Mining Operation. Both aim to be plain-English and balanced, with the risks and the criticisms included.

Articles are written by Christopher Cannucciari, whose name is on every byline. Corrections are covered in the editorial standards: a change that affects the substance of an article updates its date, and you can report a mistake through the contact page.
