Where to go next

After this lesson you can: choose your next course from what you want to do.

You can now explain Bitcoin, its origin, why it has value, and how a payment works. Where next depends on your question.

• "How do I actually get some, safely?" → Your first bitcoin: buying, brokerages versus exchanges, your first wallet, DCA, scams, the tax basics.
• "How do I hold it without losing it?" → Self-custody essentials.
• "But how does it really work?" → Under the hood: how the network works.
• "Why not Ethereum or the next thing?" → Why Bitcoin only.
• "I keep hearing it's bad for X." → Bitcoin FUD, answered.
