About Generation Bitcoin.

Generation Bitcoin is an independent, plain-English education site about Bitcoin. It is built for readers who want to understand how the system works before doing anything with it. This page explains what we publish, what we deliberately do not, and how decisions about the site are made.

What we do

We publish structured Bitcoin education for beginners, students, classroom teachers, and curious builders. The core of the site is a sequenced course, a layered reading list, a safety-first wallet page, a set of workshop formats, and a working glossary. Pages are revised when something becomes clearer, an explanation turns out to be wrong, or a safety note needs to be firmer.

What we do not do

Plenty of Bitcoin websites already cover prices, products, and promotional content. This is not one of those sites. To keep that clear and to set expectations honestly:

  • No price predictions, no charts, no "next move" commentary.
  • No affiliate links, referral codes, or sponsored placements anywhere on the site.
  • No wallet vendor recommendations, exchange comparisons, or hardware reviews for beginners.
  • No trading techniques, leverage content, lending, yield, or staking content.
  • No advice. Education only. Decisions about money belong with a qualified, regulated professional in your country.
  • No content aimed at getting under-18 readers to move money.

Editorial line

We try to land between two failure modes. Bitcoin writing tends to drift either into excited language about returns or into dismissive language about the whole topic. Both are easier to write than the middle, and both produce worse education. Our default is calm, specific, and willing to admit when something is genuinely uncertain.

We also try to keep the vocabulary small. The number of pages on this site is deliberately limited. Every page should have a clear job. If a topic does not fit one of the existing pages, the test is whether it earns a new page or simply expands an existing one. Most of the time, the right answer is to expand.

Why "Generation Bitcoin"

Generation Bitcoin is the public name this site has carried for several years. We keep the name because it is what readers already know to type. Keeping the name does not imply continuity with any past operator, organisation, or staff. Where we genuinely do not know something about the site's earlier history, we say so rather than invent it.

How the site is built

The site is a static build. There is no analytics-driven tracking, no third-party ad embed, no newsletter capture, no social widget, and no fingerprinting library on any page. The codebase is intentionally small so that a single careful reader could audit it in an afternoon. The privacy page describes what is and is not collected.

How decisions are made

Edits to the site follow a short, deliberately boring process. A draft is written. It is read against the safety-first editorial line. It is checked for anything that drifts towards investment language. It is published. Meaningful edits are recorded on the changelog in plain language. Small wording fixes are not logged, because logging them would mean nobody could read the changelog.

Who this site is for

The site is written for adults who want to understand Bitcoin before doing anything with it, and for teenagers reading with a teacher or parent. The tone is the same in both cases. Bitcoin is not a children's topic, but the underlying ideas about money, networks, and software are perfectly reasonable classroom material when handled carefully.

What we will not do, even if asked nicely

We are regularly asked to add things that are common on Bitcoin sites and that would not fit here. Writing them down helps the answer stay consistent.

  • We will not run guest posts that exist to link out to a product.
  • We will not add exchange or wallet sponsorships of any kind.
  • We will not insert tracking parameters into outbound links.
  • We will not publish content that frames Bitcoin as a get-rich path for minors.
  • We will not pivot to altcoins, tokens, or NFT topics.

How to suggest a change

If something here reads as misleading, dated, or unclear, the cleanest route is the contact page. Detailed corrections with a specific page reference are far more useful than general comments. We do not promise to publish every suggestion, but we do read them.

What to read next

If this is your first visit, the most useful next pages are courses for the curriculum, wallet safety for the practical risk layer, FAQs for the small questions, and join if you want to be told when we publish a meaningful update.
