Bitcoin’s 21 Million Limit Leads a New Fundamentals Course

What happened: The Block Research published a Bitcoin fundamentals explainer on November 11 as part of an 11-lesson beginner course. It covers Bitcoin’s 21 million supply limit, Proof of Work, the UTXO accounting model, forks, and private keys, tracing the protocol’s origins through Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper and its operation since 2009. The material uses an interactive course format with a glossary and frequently asked questions.

Why it matters: This is educational publishing, rather than a protocol announcement or a change to Bitcoin’s supply rules. Its relevance to today’s digest is interpretive: understanding wallets, transaction records and consensus helps readers distinguish the network’s mechanics from the investment products and exchange activity discussed below. The 21 million cap explains a supply constraint, but it does not establish a near-term price floor; the exchange-transfer research illustrates why ownership costs and selling pressure still matter.
