Bitcoin's Essential Concepts: Presentation Deck
This slide deck is a collection of the most relevant and applicable frameworks, mental models, and heuristics as they relate to bitcoin.
Over the years I’ve created and collected a vast amount of notes, diagrams, charts, and quotes that I believe help to explain the inevitability of bitcoin from first principles.
Tip over⚡LightningAfter hundreds of iterations, I've now organized them into one easy-to-digest resource.
This slide deck is perfect for use in presentations, inclusion in blogs, and for teaching workshops. It's an essential resource for all bitcoin educators.
In total, the deck covers 55 concepts and is written for a non-technical audience that enjoy visual explanations.
This deck is based on my latest book The Bitcoin Handbook.
