After falling in love with and dedicating myself entirely to personal health during a period of feeling hopeless and nihilistic about life, I found something which gave me hope and a second passion to dedicate myself to.
The seemingly too good to be true claims of Peter McCormack’s guests on the ‘What Bitcoin Did’ podcast stole all my attention. The prospect of ending wars altogether and living in a world where things always get cheaper consumed my mind.
After a two year break from thinking about Bitcoin, in which I was confined to a secret indoctrination camp (my last years of public education), I bought a copy of Seb Bunney’s book, ‘The Hidden Cost of Money’. I was ‘Orange Pilled’ as they say. Seb’s immaculate and simple explanations of the evils of the Fiat monetary system had me hooked, once again, on Bitcoin.
After a year of spending the majority of my waking hours, listening to podcasts, reading books, and thinking about Bitcoin I felt as though I must be more involved in this peaceful revolution, just watching was far from satisfactory. After months of contemplating exactly how I would get involved I stumbled upon a discussion between Daniel Prince, host of the ‘Once Bitten’ podcast and Walker America, host of ‘THE Bitcoin Podcast’, about home schooling. Despite how valuable this entire episode was, it was the first 10 minutes which were intriguing to me. Both of these Bitcoin podcast hosts agreed that there will never be enough Bitcoin podcasts and pointed out the incredibly low barriers to enter for the podcast market. This is exactly what I was looking for.
As I’m writing this I am 6 episodes deep, episode 5 being with Daniel himself. I hope to help the younger generations understand Bitcoin. There will be few things as important to the building of their future as Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin Youth Podcast
As I outlined above, this is my attempt to give value back to the Bitcoin community which has inspired me.
With an array of guests, this podcast gets into many different topics, all in relation to Bitcoin obviously, whilst also considering how things might differ for younger people trying to make sense of this revolutionary technology.

A Collection of Resources
Bitcoin can seem like an incredibly daunting topic, especially for younger people who may feel ‘unqualified’ in a space full of computer scientists, academics, macroeconomists and successful entrepreneurs, but it doesn’t have to feel this way.
Over the years many incredible Bitcoiners have contributed their time and effort to making it easier and more accessible to educate oneself about Bitcoin. These are the books, podcasts and people who have had the biggest impact on my education. The Bitcoin Youth Starter Pack is a great place to start if you’re struggling to find an entry point.
This is by no means an exhausted list of the resources available, it is incredibly far from it. It is one of many collections of resources for you to use, and remember, NO ONE understands Bitcoin.
