About

Hi, I’m Robert.

I built Bitcoin in 15 Minutes to be the explainer I couldn’t find: a short, calm walk through what Bitcoin is, how it works, and how to read a price chart — without hype, without pressure, and without pretending a chart can tell you what happens next.

This site teaches concepts. It is not investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold anything. Bitcoin involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of your entire amount. Do your own research and talk to a qualified professional about your own circumstances.

A word about how this site is made and maintained. I write and keep it myself — there is no newsroom behind it, no sponsors, and nobody paying for placement. The live price data comes from Coinbase Exchange; everything else here is written to be checked. Where a fact matters — a date, a number, a rule of the network — I have tried to state it in a way you can verify from the sources any reader can reach, starting with Bitcoin’s own public record.

The site grows in dated updates rather than silent edits: new guides and information pages are listed on the Updates page when they land, and corrections are made in the open, in the text itself. The library has two halves — Guides, for learning by doing, and Information, for understanding the story — and both were built because a single short lesson, however clear, leaves the most interesting questions unanswered.

Who is it for? Anyone who has heard Bitcoin argued about and would like the argument slowed down into sentences they can judge for themselves. You do not need a finance background, an account anywhere, or an opinion formed in advance. You need about fifteen minutes and a willingness to have a few slogans replaced by facts.

If you spot a mistake, or a sentence that could be clearer, I’d genuinely like to hear about it — see the Contact page.
