Getting Bitcoin

  1. Strike, possibly the easiest and cheapest way to get bitcoin, and send to others. https://invite.strike.me/8JZ9XT (affiliate link)
  2. Cash App, not the best or cheapest, but easy to use https://cash.app
  3. River Financial, another low-fee place to buy Bitcoin https://river.com/signup?r=WBG4T5EB (affiliate link)

Holding Bitcoin

Software Wallets

  1. BlueWallet, good basic wallet for iOS or Android. Can do both Lightning and On-Chain. https://bluewallet.io
  2. Wallet of Satoshi, another good basic lightning wallet. https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/
  3. Sparrow Wallet, one of the best desktop wallets. https://sparrowwallet.com/

Hardware Wallets

  1. NOTE: ALWAYS buy hardware wallets from the manufacturer! Otherwise you will not be sure it hasn't been tampered with!
  2. ColdCard, a great wallet, but harder to use, better for more advanced users. https://coinkite.com/ (As of 06/01/2023, this is the only one I can currently recommend)

The Bitcoin Whitepaper

Satoshi Nakamoto’s initial description of Bitcoin is the most important document in the history of Bitcoin — it is the document that started everything, after all! However, it is a highly technical piece, and is not the best place for most people to start. https://crc32.com/bitcoin.pdf
