In crypto since 2014 · Four market cycles · No price predictions on this site

Crypto explained on the real ledger, by someone who has been through four market cycles.

Crypto Manuals is a free library of plain-English manuals. Every manual lists its sources, the receipts are shown on screen, and nothing here tells you what to buy. Education, not financial advice.

The Library

One manual at a time, base layer first.

Each manual is a page first, then a video. The page holds the sources, the receipts and every later correction; the video walks it on screen.

MANUAL 1

What Is Bitcoin, Actually?

A ledger nobody owns, money nobody issues, a key nobody can reset. Shown on a real block.

Free · The Vault Checklist

The self-custody checklist, one page.

How people lose crypto, cycle after cycle, and the habit that stops each loss: custody, exchange hygiene, wallet setup, the five seed-phrase rules, transaction habits and the red flags that mean close the tab.

Read the checklist
  1. Paper or steel. Never digital. No photos, no cloud notes.
  2. Two locations, both boring.
  3. Nobody legitimate will ever ask for it.
  4. Never type it into anything online.
  5. Someone you trust knows it exists.
How we judge

Products get a stamp. Coins never do.

Exchanges, wallets and tools earn a verdict only after a published test. Coins and tokens get a Fact Card with no rating, because a rating on a coin is a buy or don't-buy call, and we don't make those.

RUN IT

Tested, works as claimed, fees are fair. Comes with a concrete first step.

SHELF IT

Solid, with a real limitation: too early, too expensive, or a better option fits most people.

SKIP IT

Failed the test. Partners get SKIP IT too; a commission never changes a stamp.

IN TEST

No verdict yet. Nothing is called tested until its test log is published.
