I downloaded nostr:npub1dpna3xwwddnhhzg9ycpvlcz2ze0jdwm2rf3eqd2lf9leaewtq7tqhw0ef2, it's good, but it is 170 pages!
I need something that, in five pages, can trigger a click and spark curiosity to ask/learn more. Maybe a nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc's article?
You can’t cover bitcoin in five pages.
I know, I don't actually want to cover the topic exhaustively, but just spark enough curiosity to prompt someone to ask for more information.
You can't stop a restaurant owner in the middle of his work for two hours to explain Bitcoin to him, but you can plant a seed by leaving a leaflet and wait for him to ask you for more details.
I agree with this in principle. There’s a Signal group called Everyday Money Movement that in part of that discusses these topics.
I found a PDF of a merchant guide made for El Salvador in the chat. Maybe something like this would work for you?

It seems an interesting and concise resource, I will read it asap. Thanks!
Just DM’d you the pdf. Read it first. Tip the value you think it’s worth. 🤙
I meant to reply to your other comment about wanting the pdf. Whatever, you get it. 🤙
Oh wow, thank you Erin!
I have a flyer to introduce bitcoin to business owners. I can send you it. This is an expanded version of it https://keithmeola.com/bitcoin/bitcoin-for-businesses/

i only have a nostr pamphlet ☹️ but a business-focused btc pamphlet seems like a real need! maybe i can work on smthg 🧐
although bitcoin.rocks has a nice section on business too!
i completely forgot about nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 and now i feel bad. please forgive me sir!
How about this? :) https://thesimplestbitcoinbook.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/SBE-Bitcoin-Brochure-Complete-Feb-2025.pdf
I got one of these at a bitcoin conference. It’s a great Tri-fold pamphlet!
Amazing to hear! Do you remember which conference?
Yes, I was exactly thinking to something like that!
Perhaps wallets, custody, scam alert can be moved to a later exploration, while I would expand "Why we need it". Instead "Debunking FUD" is definitively needed from the start, since many people hear about Bitcoin through it.
Yes there’s so many ways to approach it depending on your audience and what you want to emphasize! This is an open-source doc, feel free to edit as you wish :)
I designed it such that the first section is the ‘Why’, hopefully sparking a curiosity to read on ;)
Curious your thoughts on the simple, bulleted layout? That for me was my main contribution, an easy-to-read layout that anyone new to the subject could easily absorb.
Personally I'm not a big fan of bulleted layouts, I prefer a discorsive texts because they "click" better for me. When well done they build a story and so they became more easy to follow and remember. Standard formatted text are also for me more orderly, clear, and graphically appealing.
But perhaps I am also biased, because in my work I have seen many people use bullet points because they don't actually know how to write a structured text, and so the first solution is easier. Obviously, this is not your case! :)
Anyway, I've only skimmed through your book, and my first impression was very good. I'll try to read a few chapters in full to get a better idea of the overall effect.
Interesting how differently different people’s brains work! 😄
In your case then I think my book could serve as a reference source for someone new to bitcoin *after* they have read another more discursive style text book.
If you ever do get through more of it, would love to hear any further thoughts. I do think I built a ‘case’ for bitcoin (though not a ‘story’ per se), ‘Why We Need Bitcoin’, and then built upon that.
To be honest though it could probably use some further editing as I wrote it in a very free-form style. It flowed out of an email I started writing to explain bitcoin to friends and family 😂
