Bitcoin starts the week down by 0.19% while Ethereum is deeper in the red by 1.16%. It’s the same story across most cryptocurrency markets this morning, with a few younger smart-contract cryptos such as Polygon and Avalanche seeing slightly deeper sell-offs. 

The Fear and Greed Index needle continues to hover in Fear, as it’s been doing for the last few weeks, while the Bitcoin Relative Strength Index sits around 40, not quite undervalued but also far from being overbought.

Reform sidelines crypto industry at pivotal conference

Nigel Farage and another man on stage discussing crypto and UK reform, with Bitcoin on screen.

Our goal is simple: to provide a safe place where people can ask any question they want about Bitcoin, even if they think it’s a daft one! Learning Bitcoin takes time and we generally have the same questions when we first encounter it, so we know from our own experience having somewhere to ask a real person a specific question can be of great value!

There’s also access to great learning resources and, to cap it all off, we run monthly competitions to win great prizes such as tickets for events, VIP passes, exclusive access to talks and webinars or even just some Sats to add to your stack, all courtesy of our partners!

Even better, the whole thing is completely FREE!

So, if you’re a beginner, or know someone who is, take our fun five question multiple choice quiz and join the group today. Of course, if you’re an expert, you’re also welcome to join and help others who are looking to understand Bitcoin as an asset and the industry as a whole.

Join today!

T’s and C’s: Open to UK residents only. All ages are welcome in the community, but you need to be over 18 to enter competitions. No purchase required.
