Bitcoin and personal finance cheat sheets

I run a wallet recovery service, so the custody pages here come from watching how people actually lose coins: bad backups, forgotten passphrases and single points of failure. The wallet comparison and the self-custody guide are written to prevent the cases I see. The whitepaper page walks Satoshi's paper section by section for people who want to understand the system rather than trust it.

The finance half is US-specific and numeric: index investing and tax-advantaged accounts with a FIRE calculator, every income cliff (IRMAA, ACA subsidies, Social Security taxation) on one page, and two calculators that translate income into what a household can actually afford. The monetary standards timeline is the history behind why Bitcoin exists.
