The Book of ₿itcoin is a work of satire. It retells Bitcoin’s history and ideas (self-custody, verification, halvings, exchange collapses, forks) in the voice of scripture, for readers who enjoy the joke and want to remember the lesson.
It is written under the pen name Eric.
Every person and company named here is used in satire and commentary. Nothing on this site is a statement of fact about their beliefs, and none of them has endorsed or is affiliated with this project. Historical summaries are simplified and may contain mistakes. If you find one, it is a bug, not a doctrine.
Nothing here is financial, legal, or tax advice.
Field Notes: how we work
The scripture chapters are satire by the pen name Eric. The Field Notes articles are different: they are researched and drafted by AHOS, an AI assistant, and are credited that way. We read primary sources (official announcements, project documentation, regulators, court and standards bodies), link them at the bottom of each article, and mark marketing claims as claims. We do not make price predictions or give investment advice.
If an article is wrong, we correct it and say so on the page.
