Don’t Go Poor Slow

The simple way to save in bitcoin, a little at a time.

A short, illustrated book by Jake St. Peter. It is not about getting rich quick. It is about not staying poor slowly: pay yourself first, buy a small amount on a regular schedule, and stay calm when the price drops.

Plain words and short chapters, so a 10-year-old can read it alone and a parent can read it with them. Free as a PDF, 65 pages.

Free. We will email you when the Untaught app launches, and that is it.
