Show Notes

In this episode of The Bitcoin Nova, I sit down with Sylvia Vasilik, the author of Bitcoin Hands On Learn by Doing.Sylvia wrote her book because she saw a gap in Bitcoin education.There are plenty of books that explain why Bitcoin matters. Far fewer that show you how to actually use it.Her book is written as a true step by step guide. It walks you through using Bitcoin in real life. Not theory. Not price talk. Actual practice.We talk about how fear around self custody often comes from never having done it before. Sending Bitcoin. Recovering a wallet. Writing down a seed phrase. These things feel intimidating until you do them.That is why Sylvia designed the book around hands on exercises. You start with small amounts. You practice safely. You learn what wallets are doing behind the scenes. And with each step you build confidence instead of anxiety.Get Sylvia’s Book📘 https://a.co/d/83Y7SyoIn this conversation we coverUsing Bitcoin wallets for the first timeSending and receiving BitcoinUnderstanding seed phrases and recoveryCommon mistakes people makeWhy starting small makes all the differenceHow experience removes fearIf you believe in Bitcoin but feel unsure about the practical side this episode is for you.Bitcoin is not meant to be something you watch from the sidelines.
