- Choose a course and read one lesson. Follow a source when a claim is unfamiliar.
- Try the exercise before revealing its answer. Explain the result in your own words.
- Use the self-check questions, then optionally mark the lesson complete. Return whenever you need.
- Finish the capstone with a friend or reviewer. A good question is progress too.
All scenarios use paper or fictional records. Learning never requires sending money, sharing recovery words, taking a loan or connecting a wallet. Completion is self-reported practice, not certification, investment advice or authorization to operate a treasury.
Why “Sikh Bitcoin”?
The name draws on Sikh as a student or learner, while respecting Sikh as a living religious identity. This community learning program welcomes all backgrounds. It does not claim religious endorsement of Bitcoin, speak for Sikh institutions or require a shared belief. Read the World Sikh Organization’s explanation of Sikh identity.
