Meet Stephen Burns

Welcome! I'm Stephen Burns, and I've created Understanding Bitcoin to help people understand the revolutionary potential of Bitcoin. After witnessing firsthand how traditional monetary systems can fail individuals and families, I became convinced that Bitcoin represents the most important financial innovation of our lifetime.

My journey into Bitcoin began when I realized that our current money system is fundamentally broken - designed to benefit institutions, governments and hierarchy, at the expense of everyday people. Bitcoin offers an alternative: a decentralized, permissionless, and mathematically sound form of money that cannot be manipulated by governments or central banks. It helps the ordinary person not only keep up with inflation but beat it. Bitcoin is the ultimate saving system.

With over 5,000 hours self-educated in Bitcoin, I can offer help and assistance explaining the importance of Bitcoin for the individual and also for the business. My goal is simple: to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to take control of your financial future through Bitcoin education and practical guidance.
