Who reads Knowing Bitcoin
Our audience is small (we're new) but unusually high-quality:
- Average session: 3.5 minutes — they read, they don't bounce.
- Top topics: Lightning Network channel management, Bitcoin node hardware, hardware wallets, multisig, privacy.
- Geographic spread: global, English-speaking, technical.
- Discovery channels: Bing organic, DuckDuckGo, Kagi, ChatGPT/Claude/Copilot citations.
- What they're not: speculators, shitcoiners, DeFi tourists.
What we'll sponsor
Companies aligned with Bitcoin-first sovereignty:
- Hardware wallets (signing devices)
- Hardware nodes (Umbrel, Start9, MyNode-style)
- Lightning hosting and infrastructure
- Self-custodial wallets (Lightning + on-chain)
- Bitcoin-only exchanges (non-KYC P2P, RoboSats-style)
- Privacy tools (CoinJoin, mixers, Tor-aware infrastructure)
- Bitcoin education and books
What we won't sponsor: KYC exchanges, shitcoins, NFTs, DeFi, custodial Bitcoin "yield" products, anything that compromises self-custody as the default.
