Big-picture & simple explainers
These are where we send Arkansas folks who want a stronger foundation or a more inspiring explanation than a 2-minute conversation.
Hope.com
Michael Saylor’s “Bitcoin is Hope” framing — why Bitcoin as a long-term savings technology matters in a world of debt and inflation.
River Learn
Short, clean articles and animations on “What is Bitcoin?”, “Why is Bitcoin valuable?”, and “How to talk to friends and family.”
BTC Sessions – Learn
“Zero to hero in one page” — video tutorials on wallets, buying, security, and Lightning, from a Bitcoin-only educator.
Tip: For most Arkansas folks, one article from River + one or two BTC Sessions videos + a single Hope.com talk is more than enough to “click.”
Security, custody & inheritance
When someone’s stack stops being “lunch money” and starts being real savings, these are the places to learn how not to lose it.
Unchained – Learn
Bitcoin custody fundamentals, multisig explainers, inheritance planning, and practical guides for real families and small businesses.
Nunchuk – Self-Custody Tools
A modern, Bitcoin-only wallet for secure self-custody, collaborative multisig, and inheritance workflows — with an excellent mobile experience.
BTC Sessions Tutorials
Clear, practical video guides on hardware wallets, multisig, backup safety, and “protect your savings” routines.
Guidance: For friends & family, suggest they practice with small amounts and move slowly into self-custody as their confidence grows.
Bitcoin’s roots & first principles
For the person who asks “Where did this come from?” and wants to see the original writings that shaped Bitcoin’s design and philosophy.
The Bitcoin Whitepaper
“Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” — Satoshi Nakamoto’s original 2008 paper that started it all.
Satoshi Nakamoto Institute
Curated archives of Satoshi’s writings and key cypherpunk essays that influenced Bitcoin’s creation.
Stay grounded without getting lost in noise
A few signal-heavy places to keep up with Bitcoin without falling into “number go up” distraction or crypto-token churn.
Bitcoin Magazine
One of the oldest Bitcoin news and analysis outlets — articles, opinion, and coverage focused on Bitcoin’s ecosystem.
Bitcoin Magazine Pro
More data-driven macro and on-chain charts for those who want to study cycles and market structure.
River Research & Guides
Longer-form essays and explainers on Bitcoin’s role in savings, energy, mining, and global adoption.
How to use this with friends & family
You don’t have to send people every link. Usually one or two is enough:
- For a teacher, stylist, or musician: a River Learn article + a BTC Sessions beginner video.
- For a saver thinking long-term: Hope.com talk + Unchained or Nunchuk guide.
- For a deep thinker: the whitepaper + a couple of Nakamoto Institute essays.
The goal is not to overwhelm. The goal is to give honest, Bitcoin-only paths to stronger understanding.
