00:01.100 --> 00:07.888
Welcome to educational Bitcoin videos. The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to Bitcoin. It is divided into three bigger
00:08.088 --> 00:14.876
parts, each consisting of three or four short videos. You can watch these videos easily when you have a bit of free time and rewatch them
00:15.076 --> 00:21.865
for better understanding.
00:24.602 --> 00:29.337
Part one is about the theory of Bitcoin. What it is or isn't, what you can do with it or can't do with it, and what you should or shouldn't
00:29.538 --> 00:34.273
do with it.
00:36.002 --> 00:39.871
Part two is about using Bitcoin on your mobile phone.
00:41.602 --> 00:45.642
Part three is about using Bitcoin with a secure device.

Part 1, Bitcoin analogies
00:04.792 --> 00:13.427
Bitcoin is special. While not exactly like anything that has existed before, it can be compared to things you already know by using
00:13.627 --> 00:22.262
analogies. They aren't perfect. This video isn't about defining Bitcoin, but about making it a little bit more understandable.
00:25.020 --> 00:27.247
Bitcoin is like digital gold
00:27.747 --> 00:36.221
Bitcoin is scarce. It is expensive to produce. It is highly divisible and uniform. It can be transported cheaply through space and time.
00:36.421 --> 00:44.896
For these reasons, people treat it as a hard asset and store wealth in it.
00:47.620 --> 00:49.665
Bitcoin is like digital money
00:50.165 --> 00:56.234
Bitcoin has only a digital representation. It doesn't have any particular physical form. Its integrity is maintained by cryptography and
00:56.434 --> 01:02.504
consuming a lot of electricity.
01:05.220 --> 01:07.276
Bitcoin is like the internet
01:07.776 --> 01:14.448
Bitcoin consists of many thousands computers, called, nodes, communicating together, using the same protocol. Anyone can connect, there are
01:14.648 --> 01:21.320
no technical restrictions to participate in the network.
01:24.060 --> 01:26.287
Bitcoin is like a central bank
01:26.787 --> 01:31.800
Bitcoin maintains a database that represents a ledger. This ledger records all the Bitcoin that were ever created and all the transactions
01:32.000 --> 01:37.014
that were ever made.
01:39.740 --> 01:41.593
Bitcoin is like an auditor
01:42.093 --> 01:48.430
The Bitcoin nodes are verifyng the ledger all the time. They use transparent and neutral rules. If someone tries to sneak in bad data into
01:48.630 --> 01:54.967
the ledger, such as creating new Bitcoins outside of the schedule, or transferring someone else's Bitcoins, the nodes will immediately
01:55.167 --> 02:01.504
notice it.
02:04.260 --> 02:05.943
Bitcoin is like the law
02:06.443 --> 02:14.949
The nodes aren't merely verifying, they are also enforcing. Invalid data is not just immediately spotted, it is also immediately rejected.
02:15.149 --> 02:23.656
Any record that doesn't follow the rules will end up in trash. What is written, that happens.
02:26.420 --> 02:28.540
Bitcoin is decentralised
02:29.040 --> 02:35.365
Unlike everything mentioned so far, Bitcoin is also decentralised. It is probably the most decentralised system we know. There is noone
02:35.565 --> 02:41.891
that can break the rules or change them.
02:44.620 --> 02:49.417
Bitcoin is a decentralized hard asset that can be used for storing wealth.

00:00.100 --> 00:06.017
Part 2, The five principles of Bitcoin.
What to do and what not to do.
00:07.217 --> 00:13.468
I collected five principles for everyone using Bitcoin, for beginners as well
as experts. You may recognise them as memes you've heard
00:13.668 --> 00:19.920
before. I chose memes
as they are easy to remember. There are more principles that are helpful,
however these five are the most important
00:20.120 --> 00:26.372
ones.
00:29.100 --> 00:38.711
1. Bitcoin, not crypto.
The vision of Bitcoin is to be the best money there can be. This is achieved
through focus on decentralisation.
00:38.912 --> 00:48.523
Without decentralization, someone could
change the rules, make more Bitcoins out of nothing, redistribute other
people's Bitcoins. All the
00:48.724 --> 00:58.336
other "cryptos" have a centralized team of people
who determine the rules. There have been attempts in the past to change the
rules of
00:58.536 --> 01:08.148
Bitcoin, and they failed. Changes in Bitcoin take many years to
succeed and are more like optimizations than rule changes.
01:08.347 --> 01:16.640
Several years after the Bitcoin started, other project types came in waves.
There was an altcoin phase, after that a DAOs phase, and now
01:16.840 --> 01:25.132
NFTs are
everywhere. Many of these are just scams. Some may have interesting
technological properties or have a narrow specialised uses.
01:25.332 --> 01:33.625
However, if you
want to spend money on them, you're just gambling.
01:36.380 --> 01:45.597
2. Not your keys, not your coins.
The Bitcoin balances are controlled by cryptographic signatures. This is what
Bitcoin, is, a collection
01:45.797 --> 01:55.015
of crypographic signatures. In order to transfer
Bitcoin, you need to perform this cryptographic signature and for that you need
to have
01:55.215 --> 02:04.433
piece of data called "private key". In other words, having the private
key, means, having Bitcoin. If you use a custodial service for
02:04.633 --> 02:13.851
handling your
Bitcoin, like a bank or another service provider, it's, they, that have
Bitcoins, not you. You're degrading your relationship
02:14.051 --> 02:23.269
with Bitcoin by relying
on others to take care of your Bitcoins for you. This is exactly the problem
that Bitcoin allows you to avoid. The
02:23.469 --> 02:32.687
custodian can make up all kinds of
excuses to deny you control of Bitcoins they hold for you. Many don't even
allow you to withdraw or send
02:32.887 --> 02:42.105
Bitcoins on your behalf. Even worse, they may run
away with them, or lose them.
02:42.304 --> 02:51.623
With Bitcoin, you can self-custody. This requires some learning and some
practice, but you can't get the full benefits without self-
02:51.823 --> 03:01.142
custody. You need to
keep your private key, private. Anyone who sees it can take your Bitcoins. If
you show it to somebody, they are gone.
03:01.342 --> 03:10.661
The private key needs to be protected
against thieves, but also against damage. If the private key is damaged and
it's the only copy, the
03:10.861 --> 03:20.180
Bitcoins are gone. Many people have suffered losses by
not taking proper care of their private keys, and probably many still will.
03:20.380 --> 03:24.548
In a later video, I will teach you how to properly self-custody.
03:27.340 --> 03:36.594
3. Stacking sats.
An easy way to get accustomed to Bitcoin is to accumulate Bitcoin
periodically for the long run, commonly known as
03:36.794 --> 03:46.049
"Dollar Cost Averaging". Pick
an amount that you feel comfortable with putting aside, such as a hundred
dollars a month. Then, every month,
03:46.249 --> 03:55.504
preferably on the same day, buy one hundred
dollars' worth of Bitcoin, or Satoshis (sats). Satoshi is the base unit of
Bitcoin. there are
03:55.704 --> 04:04.959
one hundred million Satoshis in one Bitcoin. People often
DCA once a month or once a week.
04:05.159 --> 04:12.573
The advantages of this approach are that it's repetitive, so you'll learn it by
practice. It's simple, so you don't need to perform a lot
04:12.773 --> 04:20.188
of mental work. It
doesn't depend on the market conditions, so you don't need to worry about
understanding them. It doesn't depend on
04:20.388 --> 04:27.803
having trading experience, so you
won't be influenced by psychology. It is working in small steps, so if you make
a mistake (and this can
04:28.003 --> 04:35.418
happen for beginners), your losses will be small.
04:35.618 --> 04:44.789
Don't daytrade, or suddenly put huge mounts of money into Bitcoin. You don't
understand how trading works, you'll lose money.
04:47.540 --> 04:54.320
4. HODL.
Selling your Bitcoins has a broad range of disadvantages.
04:54.521 --> 05:01.558
The price of Bitcoin often moves very quickly. Inexperienced people may panic
sell and make a loss.
05:01.758 --> 05:08.616
In many countries, selling can incur taxes. You may need to record your exact
trading history for accurate reporting. In extreme cases, you
05:08.816 --> 05:15.674
may still owe
taxes even if you make a financial loss!
05:16.420 --> 05:25.484
According to a recent news report, 69 year old Esther Freeman decided to sell
some of her Bitcoins. Her bank, however, refused to allow her
05:25.684 --> 05:34.748
to deposit the
900000 shekels from the sale, citing risks of money laundering and terror
financing. Mrs. Freeman had to sue the bank in the
05:34.948 --> 05:44.011
court. In the meantime, she
has 900000 virtual shekels she can't use, i.e., nothing.
05:44.700 --> 05:54.052
Don't end up like Mrs. Freeman. Try to avoid selling your Bitcoins, unless
there is an emergency. The most advanced way to avoid this is to
05:54.252 --> 06:03.604
take out a
loan, using Bitcoin as a collateral. There are specialised lending services, but
traditional banks are starting to provide such
06:03.804 --> 06:13.156
services as well. However, doing
this requires some level of financial experience, so I can't automatically
recommend it to everyone.
06:13.356 --> 06:18.025
Another option is just to do nothing. This is very easy.
06:18.225 --> 06:24.249
Supposing you really do have some emergency expenses, you could also try to pay
directly in Bitcoin, avoiding dealing with exchanges and
06:24.449 --> 06:30.473
banks. You could also
try to sell only the minimum necessary amount. Smaller amounts are less likely
to cause problems and losses are less
06:30.673 --> 06:36.697
painful.
06:39.460 --> 06:46.582
5. Don't trust, verify.
Even if you have a private key, that alone doesn't tell you how many Bitcoins
you have. For this you need to
06:46.782 --> 06:53.905
connect to a node and request information. But
the node could lie to you. If you don't know how many Bitcoins you have at each
moment, you
06:54.105 --> 07:01.228
can be a victim of fraud.
07:01.428 --> 07:07.224
Luckily, operating a node can be done cheaply. If you run a node, you have your
own auditor to make sure you're getting the correct
07:07.424 --> 07:13.220
information. It probably
isn't necessary that every single person runs one, but maybe you have a couple
of friends or family members that
07:13.420 --> 07:19.217
do.
07:19.417 --> 07:27.832
If you want to run your own node, you should have a dedicated computer for this
that can operate 24 7. It doesn't need to be an expensive
07:28.033 --> 07:36.449
computer, about 300
dollars is probably enough, but it should be energy efficient and have a
reliable internet connection.
07:39.180 --> 07:40.031
Summary.
07:40.231 --> 07:55.866
One, Bitcoin, not crypto.
Two, Not your keys, not your coins.
Three, Stacking sats.
Four, HODL.
Five, Don't trust, verify.

What is Blockchain?
(pause: 1)
Blockchain is a special type of database for decentralised systems. The members
of a blockchain can be operated by different organisations, and don't need a
hierarchy of permissions. Bitcoin is a first practical example of a blockchain,
and some would argue the only one actually delivering on its promises. While
important for Bitcoin, it is not the only component necessary to achieve
decentralisation in practice. The use of a blockchain in systems which do not
need both high security and high decentralisation is a of dubious utility.
Traditional databases or distributed data stores may be a better fit for such
projects. Compared to them, a blockchain is slow and expensive.

Why do I have to wait for an hour for a transaction?
(pause: 1)
Once you send or receive a bitcoin transaction, usually you have to wait for
about an hour for the transaction to "confirm". For the blockchain to do its
thing, about an hour needs to pass to ensure there is nothing fishy going on.
This is one tradeoffs Bitcoin provides for its high security. So how can you
then use Bitcoin for all kinds of payments if you have to wait for an hour? The
solution Bitcoin offers is scaling in layers. You can think of these layers as
different forms of Bitcoin. The first layer, which is what we have been talking
about so far, can be thought of as a settlement layer. On top of it, other
layers with different features are being built. One of the most popular ones is
the lightning network, which allows small instant payments.
