Bitcoin is not intuitive at first, and these articles cover many of the most common sticking points people come across when they fall down the rabbit hole. Parker's writings deeply examine the value proposition of Bitcoin from a first-principles basis. To truly understand Bitcoin, one must answer the question: what is money?

We discuss money as a coordination function of society, Bitcoin's energy usage, and why you cannot copy Bitcoin.
