Chester-based entrepreneur launches ‘Bitcoin Lessons’ learning app

Gareth said: “Having been a passionate advocate of Bitcoin for many years I, like many, have trawled the web-based resources available to understand how the currency works, how to get started and how to take a more sophisticated approach to holding the currency in the long-term. 

“It’s a minefield, especially for the time-poor. With many predicting that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies herald the future of money, it’s vital that it becomes simpler for everyone to understand why.

The app features further reading sections independently recommending the best podcasts, books and articles.

Bitcoin Lessons currently contains 11 lessons – from the history of where Bitcoin came from and how it compares to previous forms of money, to the strengths and weaknesses of Bitcoin and what the future may hold, as well as how to venture into the world of Bitcoin knowledgeable and confident.

Access to all 11 lessons is currently being offered free to anyone who is home-schooling children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bitcoin Lessons has already been downloaded by users in 53 countries.
 
Gareth added: “We’ve been amazed by the positive reaction to Bitcoin Lessons in our first few weeks and are really encouraged to see the locations where we seem to have hit a chord. So much so, we are now intending to produce translated versions with open access to all content for those in countries that need this knowledge the most.”
