Bitcoin education for people who want cleaner records, better self-custody habits, and fewer surprises when the fiat receipt shows up. Educational only; not financial, tax, or legal advice.
Bitcoin's 21 million cap by 2140 means scarcity isn't theoretical. Each satoshi’s future value is inherently tied to this hard limit. Plan your recordkeeping for a finite asset.

Not financial advice.
