Common questions

Is this financial advice?

No. Everything here is education — we teach the concepts so you can make your own decisions. For advice about your specific situation, talk to a licensed professional.

I’m broke. Can I still start?

Yes — that’s exactly who this is for. The roadmap starts at $0, the guides and videos are free, and the first lessons are about habits, not amounts.

Can I pay with bitcoin?

Yes — everything sold directly on this site offers card or bitcoin at checkout, every time. Our bitcoin rail is our own BTCPay Server, so payments go wallet-to-wallet with no middleman. (Apps are bought through Apple’s App Store and courses through Udemy, so those use their checkouts.) Why bitcoin? Because we teach it — carefully — and using it for real purchases is the best way to understand it.

What if a purchase isn’t for me?
