A Bitcoin (Mini)-Guide

[fabrice.btc]

Hello everyone,

After discovering the new initiative launched by Éric Larchevêque (The Bitcoin Society), I asked myself how I could contribute— even in a small way — to help newcomers learn about Bitcoin.
Coincidentally, I had just finished creating a document for a close friend living overseas, sharing my own learning journey. I called it **“A Bitcoin (Mini)-Guide”**.

Originally, it was meant to give her the essential foundations she needed to start saving in Bitcoin.
This was in early autumn 2025, and I wanted to provide her with a simple and practical guide so she could begin her own “path into Bitcoin” with confidence.

Day after day, the guide grew — more chapters, more explanations, more references…
It eventually became far too detailed to be considered “mini”. That’s why I now call it a **(Mini)-Guide**: it started small, but evolved into a much more complete resource.

I’m now making this (Mini)-Guide available to the community through a Google Drive link.
If you find it helpful, feel free to share it with friends or anyone curious about getting started with Bitcoin.

The guide is written in English, as it was originally created for my friend.
It’s based on publicly available information, but also on many sections written directly with the help of ChatGPT, which allowed me to build it quickly and efficiently.

You’ll find my email address inside the document.
If you’d like to suggest improvements, corrections or additions, I’d be very happy to hear from you.

Here is the link to version 3.0 of **“A Bitcoin (Mini)-Guide”**:

Thank you,

Inasmuch as we cannot do without learning everyday, then we need to keep to update for our own benefits, which is why I've seen this as an achievement from your end in contributing to the world by being informed on specific aspects of Bitcoin that they should be more informed about in your own little contribution.

Yeah, i notice my browser say the PDF have 264 pages.

It's nice to see someone disclose that they use AI/chatbot. But after skimming the PDF, few guide use lots of UTF-8 icon/emoji which may be distracting to some people.

If you’d like to suggest improvements, corrections or additions, I’d be very happy to hear from you.

Aside from what i said above, consider grouping each mini guide into few different category on page 4-5.
