Friends & Allies

Bitcoin educators and builders we genuinely trust. No paid placements.

How we choose

Bitcoin-focused

We only feature people serious about Bitcoin education. No altcoin promoters, no token shills, no “crypto influencers.”

No paid placements

Nobody pays to be listed here. We feature people whose work we genuinely follow and recommend to a friend.

Self-custody advocates

Everyone here believes in financial sovereignty. They teach you to hold your own keys, not hand them to someone else.

Friends
