Hello everyone, I’m James Odom, and I’m excited to officially kick off Blockchain University. Our first course is now live: BHS 101 – The Birth of Bitcoin. This is a primary-source based course focused on Bitcoin’s origin story as a historical and technical event. We cover the problem Bitcoin was solving, early digital cash experiments, Satoshi’s design priorities, the whitepaper’s key decisions, the genesis block, early mining, and what Bitcoin’s early years teach us about security, decentralization, and scalability. If you’re new here, start at the Introduction and work your way down the lesson list at your own pace. If you’re experienced, you’ll still get value from revisiting the original context and seeing how the early design tradeoffs shaped everything that came after. Quick intro questions: Comment below with (1) your background level (new, intermediate, advanced) and (2) what you want to learn most in crypto right now. Glad you’re here. Let’s build more amazing content moving forward!

🔑 Seed phrases are the master key to your wallet. They’re your 12–24 word recovery phrase. If someone gets it, they can take everything, and there’s no password reset or support desk in crypto! 🚫 Protecting it is less about being “paranoid” and more about building a simple system that’s safe and easy to follow. ✅ What’s your seed phrase setup strategy? Share what you do to stay safe (and what you avoid). Paper vs metal, and whether you keep one backup or multiple backups. 👇
