A Developer's Guide to Bitcoin
Bitcoin education for everyone. Open source and always free.
BitcoinDev is a Bitcoin resource for anyone who wants to learn about Bitcoin, developers, beginners, and curious non-devs alike. I want to share my enthusiasm for Bitcoin and my own experience wandering down the rabbit hole (and the "aha" moments along the way) so more people can get up to speed with less friction.
I created BitcoinDev to offer free and open source documentation that goes from Bitcoin fundamentals to advanced protocol details. The site includes interactive tools you can use in the browser: a CLI terminal for Bitcoin RPC commands, Stack Lab for Bitcoin Script, a block visualizer, and utilities for hashes, addresses, and transactions.
All content is open source, free, and will always remain so. Download markdown is available for every docs page. No ads, no paywalls, no tracking. Just pure Bitcoin knowledge for anyone who wants to learn and build on Bitcoin.
