For Independent RIAs & Fee-Only Advisors
The Bitcoin course your industry hasn't built yet.
Your clients ask you about Bitcoin β and you answer, but without the depth you'd want behind you. This course closes that gap: a rigorous, Bitcoin-only framework, written peer-to-peer, with no ETF issuer's interests behind a single lesson.
No sponsors. No affiliates. No exceptions.

Pasco actually lives on Bitcoin β his savings, his income, his daily life.
Become the advisor who can answer the Bitcoin question β with depth, not deflection.
Your clients ask about Bitcoin. Vague answers now carry professional cost. Spot Bitcoin ETFs made it an asset class advisors recommend openly. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve changed the regulatory picture. Those who built real competency early already hold the advantage in these conversations.
That's the gap this course was built to close β Bitcoin-only, and deeper than the accredited alternatives.
Why Bitcoin-only,
not a “digital assets” course.
This course
Bitcoin.
Sixty-plus lessons. One asset, all the way down — monetary history, protocol design, custody, inheritance, and the client conversation itself.
Because Bitcoin is what your clients are actually asking about. Is it safe? Can it be hacked? Will governments shut it down? Is it too late to own? Simple to ask — and unforgiving to answer without real understanding. This course treats Bitcoin as the distinct asset it is, so you can advise on it confidently — without overstating your certainty or defaulting to ETFs.
Other “digital assets” courses
- Bitcoin
- Ethereum
- Stablecoins
- DeFi
- NFTs
- Web3
Broad by design — a few hours spread across a dozen assets. Bitcoin is one line item among many.
Built for advisors whoβ¦
- β Independent RIAs & fee-only fiduciaries β you make your own professional-development decisions.
- β Advisors fielding real Bitcoin questions β your client book asks things generalist digital-assets curricula don't serve well.
- β Advisors who see where this is going β substantive Bitcoin competency is becoming a baseline expectation, not a differentiator.
- β CFPs, CFAs, CPAs & other credentialed pros β who want Bitcoin-only depth alongside, or instead of, the generalist options.
This course isn't for every advisor β yet.
If you're at a wirehouse or large RIA and what you need is reimbursable CE credit, this isn't the course for that β yet. CE accreditation is in progress; for now, a program like DACFP's CBDA can earn you the credit. But if you want Bitcoin-specific depth that expands what you can actually do for clients β that's exactly what this course is for.
Five sections. Sixty-plus lessons.
Each builds on the last.
Every lesson comes as video, audio, and written text.
Downloadable reference materials, including client-conversation frameworks.
Homework throughout that turns understanding into practice.
Get Started
You'll understand exactly what to expect from the course β the scope, the level of technical precision, and how to get the most from it.
The Surprising History of Money
The monetary foundation that makes Bitcoin's properties legible as asset-class analysis rather than cultural claim. You'll learn how monetary expansion transfers wealth from existing holders, why Bitcoin's fixed supply is a structural property rather than a design choice, and the events that made Bitcoin's emergence likely.
By the end, you have the substantive grounding to discuss Bitcoin's monetary properties as analytical claims β not ideology β with clients who push back.
How Bitcoin Actually Works
How Bitcoin works at a level of technical precision appropriate for peer-to-peer professional education. Covers the topics advisors need for client conversations: keys, custody, UTXOs, transactions, mining, proof-of-work, supply mechanics, network security, layer 2, and more.
Explained with enough precision to answer intelligent client questions without bluffing or retreating.
How to Take Action
This is where understanding becomes practice. You'll work through the same exercises your clients will face β setting up custody, evaluating wallets, sizing an allocation, transacting on-chain and over Lightning. The client-facing application follows naturally: how to address common questions and objections, how to discuss volatility honestly, how to talk about Bitcoin's structural properties without sounding ideological, and what compliance considerations apply to independent RIAs.
Advisors who have done the work speak differently than advisors who have only read about it. By the end of this section, you have.
Client-Ready
Review, a checklist of client-readiness milestones, and ongoing professional development paths.
A note on CE credits.
This course isn't CE-accredited yet. Accreditation is actively underway.
Many of our early students are independent RIAs and solo fee-only practitioners β advisors for whom firm approval isn't a factor, who'd rather have Bitcoin-only depth now than wait for a generalist program to add it. If that's you, you don't need to wait.

I'm Pasco. Pasco the Pleb, if you want my full name.
I've used bitcoin every day for years. I built and manage an industrial mining facility, run international businesses on bitcoin-only, and use it to protect my family.
Before Bitcoin I studied economics and financial mathematics at the University of Michigan and spent several years in financial research β enough to understand how the modern monetary system actually works at the operational level, and exactly where it falls short. Bitcoin didn't make sense to me until that foundation was in place.
I've spent two decades teaching complex topics to students around the world. This course is the result of that work: turning what I know into the most rigorous, practical Bitcoin education I could build for professionals who need to hold it to that standard.
"Pasco" is my pen name. It's a common practice in online privacy and something this course covers explicitly for your clients' benefit. You'll see my face in every lesson. If you want to evaluate the course before enrolling, book a free 15-minute call.
How we operate.
No sponsors. No affiliate fees. No paid placements anywhere in the curriculum. Every tool demonstrated is one Pasco actually uses.
Bitcoin-Minded doesn't pay anyone to recommend us, either. Every recommendation you see was given because someone chose to give it.
In an industry where most educators make curriculum decisions based on what pays them more rather than what teaches best, we built Bitcoin-Minded differently. The only way we make money is if you think the teaching was worth it. If you're fee-only, you already know the model β it's yours.
Founding-student pricing.

- β Download everything β videos, audio, PDFs, and client-conversation frameworks. The course is yours to keep.

Questions worth asking.
Accreditation is a process we're pursuing but haven't completed. We'd rather launch the course without the claim than advertise a credential we can't currently back. When accreditation is granted, we'll say so clearly.
Not yet. This course doesn't carry CE credit today, so on its own it won't satisfy a CE requirement. Advisors who need CE hours now get them from an accredited program; what brings them here is the Bitcoin-specific depth those programs don't reach.
Yes. We treat the distinction between Bitcoin and other digital assets as a structural one, not a tribal one, and we make the case analytically in the course itself. If you're looking for Ethereum, DeFi, or NFT coverage, other programs serve that better.
CBDA is the broad, accredited survey β Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, DeFi, NFTs, and the regulation across all of them β and it carries CE credit today, which this course doesn't yet. If a recognized credential is your only goal, theirs is the established one. But those hours are spread across the entire digital-asset landscape. This course spends sixty-plus lessons on Bitcoin alone β monetary history, protocol design, custody, inheritance, and the client conversation itself β with no issuer, sponsor, or affiliate behind a single lesson. When a client presses you on Bitcoin, that's the depth that answers.
The course equips you to have substantive conversations with those clients about the structural differences between Bitcoin and the assets they hold. It doesn't teach you to invest in or advise on altcoins directly.
For most independent advisors, professional development education is deductible. Consult your CPA for your specific situation.
No. The mechanism by which monetary expansion dilutes purchasing power β the Cantillon Effect β is uncontroversial economics. The course presents it as such. What advisors do with that analysis is up to them and their clients. We don't tell you what to conclude; we equip you to evaluate the question with the same rigor you'd apply to any asset class.
Volatility comes up in both the Bitcoin and Action sections. The course covers how to discuss Bitcoin's volatility honestly with clients, how to size positions to fit a client's profile and tolerance, and how to frame holding periods analytically rather than dismissively. Pretending volatility isn't a real concern is a credibility-loser with sophisticated clients; the course treats it accordingly.
The course covers RIA compliance considerations for discussing Bitcoin with clients. This is educational content, not compliance counsel β work with your compliance officer on specific policies.
None. Pasco takes no affiliate fees, sponsorships, or payments of any kind from companies whose products appear in the course. When you see a wallet or exchange in a lesson, it's there because he uses it β not because someone paid for the placement.
Stop deflecting the Bitcoin question. Start answering it.
