Resources
A curated list of resources I actually use and recommend. Not exhaustive — deliberately selective. Quality over quantity.
Understanding Bitcoin
If you're starting from scratch or want to deepen your conviction, these are the foundations.
| Resource | Format | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin Whitepaper | PDF (9 pages) | The original. Surprisingly readable. Start here if you want to understand what Bitcoin actually is at the protocol level. |
| The Bitcoin Standard — Saifedean Ammous | Book | The best book on why Bitcoin matters. Covers monetary history, sound money principles, and why hard money wins over time. |
Data & On-Chain Analytics
Where to look when you want to understand what's happening on the network — not what people say is happening.
| Resource | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| mempool.space | Block explorer, fee estimates, mempool visualization. The best way to see Bitcoin's heartbeat in real time. |
| Bitcoin Magazine Pro | On-chain metrics including MVRV, RHODL, and Stock-to-Flow. The data behind our Temperature Index. |
Our Tools
Interactive tools I built for my own investing. Updated daily with live data.
| Tool | What It Does |
