In this presentation, Jason Sellers shares the story behind two essential guides for Bitcoin and Nostr beginners: "21 Questions: A Beginner's Guide to Bitcoin" and its upcoming companion, "21 Questions: A Beginner's Guide to Nostr". These books simplify the journey down the Bitcoin and Nostr rabbit holes by answering top questions with insights from well-known contributors. Jason will also discuss how the project evolved from a YouTube video concept into printed books, and how these guides make orange-pilling and purple-pilling easier than ever.
This presentation explores the creation and impact of "21 Questions: A Beginner's Guide to Bitcoin" and "21 Questions: A Beginner's Guide to Nostr", two books designed to help newcomers navigate Bitcoin and Nostr through insights from top thought leaders. Jason shares how the project evolved from a video idea into a series of books that provide clear answers and foster trust in these growing communities. Attendees will learn how to use these books as tools for onboarding new users onto Bitcoin and Nostr.
Jason has lived across the U.S., from Oregon to Virginia, working in many different fields, like customer service and package delivery. After discovering Bitcoin in 2015, he found his passion in Bitcoin education and community management, founding Bitcoin Chatt, Chattanooga TN's Bitcoin-only meetup, in 2021.
In 2022, he became Community Manager at NOAH, then took the same role at the Spirit of Satoshi in 2023. He is now the Ambassador Concierge at Satlantis, a travel and community platform powered by Nostr.
Earlier this year, Jason published "21 Questions: A Beginner's Guide to Bitcoin," which answers the top 21 Bitcoin-related questions, and is now working on a Nostr edition. Jason and his wife Leigh Ann, who homeschools their six children, live in northern Georgia.
