Thank you for reading.
Really makes me more happy than all sats.
I just want to help people to start using Bitcoin. many people are lost and don't know from where to start.
So I listen them, took notes about what they are looking for, tested the solutions and then I wrote each guide.
My 10+ years experience in Bitcoin helped me a lot writing these guides.

You should go now and make video versions of the guides. A lot of work. But I suspect new generations don't know how to read and only watch tiktoks.

Nope. Are plenty of video tutorials.
Bitcoin needed written guides.
Video tutorials are for lazy people, that can't read.

Oh well it is true, if they are lazy to read, they don't deserve it.

@DarthCoin let me know when you do make videos, would sponsor a POS Gen1 :)

- Will never do video tutorials
- Will never take sponsors
- I do all this for Bitcoin (I mean not to earn sats).
My guides were written for my "padawans" (I have a lot of private people that I help them getting onboard). I start with them in private, but then I saw that more people need them. So I publish them on substack for the common good.

yes, I know, but a gift is a gift... and could have many connotations.
I prefer my integrity.

Any plans to ditch substack and make your own blog?

I think I explained in the past why I use substack for my guides...
I could host them on my own servers, own domains, but I do not want that (yet).
I manage several private domains, but those are private. Nothing related with "DarthCoin" on internet.
Substack is very easy to share and write newsletters. And I don't give a shit if tomorrow they will shut down. Are just some damn guides, that are already backed up on my drive.
When SN will create special subsection for these kind of things, I will move them to SN.
Until then are just fine on substack.

Those articles are my entry point to share with new bitcoiners, I don't even need to write my owns, it has almost the same sense of humor than me and in the LN node section, I love the focus on "don't" built a node to route invoices, built a private node, use it, and then in the long long long run and when you know more about, maybe there... with a lot of capital try to run a public LN node.

Exactly that. I like when more people take my guides and use them to teach other noobs.
Exactly for that I wrote them, to be a base for others.
I even encourage others to copy and put them on their own blogs, websites, translations etc.
All my guides are free and open to anybody.
I do not wave any copyright or crap like that.
What is important is that more people learn more stuff about Bitcoin.

The first link is wrong. It has an additional "s".
Other than that @DarthCoin is absolutely the best.
