FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The Bitcoin Wiki is a curated knowledge base that maps the Bitcoin ecosystem across six categories: organizations, open-source projects, key people, essential books, communities, and events. It helps newcomers and researchers navigate the people and projects shaping Bitcoin.

The Organizations section covers companies and foundations building Bitcoin infrastructure — from Lightning Labs and Blockstream to exchanges like Coinbase and Bitstamp, and corporate adopters like Strategy. Each entry includes founding date, headquarters, key people, and relationships to other wiki entries.

The Projects section covers open-source software and protocols powering Bitcoin, including Bitcoin Core (the reference implementation), Lightning Network (layer-2 scaling), BTCPay Server (self-hosted payment processing), and more. Each entry links to repositories, contributors, and related organizations.

The People section profiles individuals who have shaped Bitcoin's history — from Satoshi Nakamoto and Hal Finney to developers like Adam Back and Nicolas Dorier, educators like Andreas Antonopoulos and Lyn Alden, and entrepreneurs like Jack Mallers and Elizabeth Stark.

The Books section features essential Bitcoin reading, including The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous, Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos, The Blocksize War by Jonathan Bier, Broken Money by Lyn Alden, and the original Bitcoin Whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto.

The Communities section highlights Bitcoin meetups and local groups like La Crypta. The Events section covers major conferences including Bitcoin 2024, Baltic Honeybadger, and Adopting Bitcoin. Both sections help you find and connect with the Bitcoin community worldwide.
