Neuware - Bitcoin has a jargon problem. This is the reference you reach for when the words arrive faster than the explanations.You looked up hardware wallet and suddenly needed to know what a private key is. You tried to understand the halving and someone mentioned stock-to-flow. Each answer opens three new questions. The Bitcoin Encyclopedia collects 167 of those concepts in one place - the economics that explain why Bitcoin exists, the cryptography that makes it work, and the custody decisions that keep it safe. Every entry is written in plain English, with no assumed knowledge and no code. It is a book to look things up in, not to read cover to cover. Each entry follows the same shape: a plain definition, the story behind why the concept exists, a real-world analogy to make it stick, and a clear 'so what' for why it matters to you. Where Bitcoin has genuine debates or real weaknesses, they are named honestly. Inside, you'll find: - Plain-English definitions for 167 terms, from wallets and mining to Lightning and multisig- The looked-up essentials - mempool, UTXO, halving, seed phrases, cold storage, and more- Seven guided reading paths that build a coherent picture instead of an alphabet- Honest treatment of the debates, tradeoffs, and weaknesses many guides skip- A difficulty marker on every entry, so you always know how much background it assumes>Keep it within reach, scroll up, and look up the term that has been nagging at you.

Riassunto

Bitcoin has a language. After a while, you learn the surface of it — halving, wallets, seed phrases, DCA. Then the conversations get deeper and the terms get harder: HTLC. UTXO. Taproot. Coinjoin. RBF. Schnorr. Stock-to-flow. You follow along. You might even use them.

This book is for going all the way through.

167 entries. A to Z. Every term, concept, and mechanism that serious Bitcoin conversations run on — explained in plain English, with real-world analogies, and without losing you in technical noise.

This is not a glossary. Every entry goes four layers deep:

The Plain-English Definition — the core idea, immediately, with no assumed knowledge

But Why Though? — the story behind the term: what problem it solves, where it came from, why Bitcoin needed it

The Real-World Analogy — something from everyday life that makes it click and stay clicked

So What? — why any of this matters to someone who holds or studies Bitcoin

Every entry cross-references related terms. Open it anywhere and follow where the knowledge leads.

Not sure where to start? Seven curated reading paths in the front matter take you through the entries in the sequence that builds understanding most naturally — Lightning Network end to end, Bitcoin economics, privacy and fungibility, custody and security, deep protocol, and more.

Two ways to use it. One book. Reference mode: look up any term when you need it. Learning mode: follow a reading path all the way through one topic.

For the Bitcoin holder six months to three years in — past the basics, ready to go deeper.

After this, you won't just follow the hard conversations.

You'll be the one who can actually explain them.
