One place for your crypto
understanding
safely.
Crypto is a new technology with real potential for re-creating our human communities around ethical economic exchange. But this is not what you hear about it every day.
The reason is simple: all information about crypto follows an agenda. Everyone talking about it is sitting inside one angle of it — inside a project, paid by a project, promoting a token, selling a get rich course or access to a Telegram trading group. All of it is biased, because there is no neutral ground in a new industry where everyone has a position.
Everybody is acting as an authority in a space that was built to function without one. Crypto is decentralized. Why would you listen to anybody?
There is no “crypto manual” that just explains the mechanics and the whole value proposition cleanly and objectively. This is what we are here to create: a safe place to understand how this technology works, what it solves and what it doesn't — by learning and debating with other people, daily. A learning environment that teaches you to drive, but lets you choose the destination.
The journey, to the roots
You start with the Seed. Each stage gives you the next layer of understanding. Move at your own pace. Upgrade when you are ready.
Seed
Understand why Bitcoin matters, and how to engage with it safely.
Why it was invented. How it works and why trust it. What problems it solves. What becomes possible when money is programmable. The two Bitcoins.
Security as sovereignty. Self-custody. Using crypto. Your first transaction.
After Seed → You understand Bitcoin from first principles. You hold and manage your own crypto. You no longer depend on influencers to tell you what to think.
Grow
How to evaluate, engage, and think like an analyst.
How to evaluate projects. Fundamental analysis. Narratives and market psychology. Technical analysis as a tool for perspective.
Market cycles. Macro forces and liquidity flows. Personal strategy. Risk management.
After Grow → You can evaluate a project yourself. You read the market from data, not news. You have a strategy that is yours.
Root
Independence.
Building in the ecosystem. Apply your skills to the new economy. Real conversations with professionals working in the industry: developers, traders, community builders, educators.
After Root → You think independently about money and crypto. You can build in this space if you choose to.

Email raz@rootscrypto.comRaz was extremely helpful in getting my non-technical wife to understand the concept of Bitcoin. I'm technical myself and know Bitcoin but I couldn't manage to teach it to her. I'm not exactly sure what Raz did but my wife understands it now.
Raz is a great teacher. He is very patient and calm. He wants his students to learn the fundamentals rather than trying to just make a quick buck without understanding or doing the work.
The Method
Two habits run through every stage. They outlast the course, and they go far beyond economics.
Verification
“I believe it because an expert said it, because the news reported it, because the institution published it.”
The source gives it credibility.
“I know it because I verified it, because the mechanism is testable, because I can challenge it if it's wrong.”
The process gives it credibility.
Understanding over trust. Mechanics over authority.
Live
Every week, a live session. You bring your questions and your doubts, and we solve them together.
Something is always happening: a policy shifts, a market moves, a new project appears. We look at it with what you learned in the course, verify the claims, and draw our own conclusions.
Money is live.
Throughout the journey, something changes. Not just what you know but how you think — about money, about information, about authority.
About This Project
Hi. I'm Raz. I was born in Communist Romania in the 1980s, where money was evil and freedom was a dream. I have spent twenty years working in technology, from network administration to government intelligence to building companies. Six years ago I started investing in the capital markets, and everything I thought I knew about the world stopped making sense. I have lived and worked in over thirty countries, across Europe, America, and the Middle East, and I carry no flag.
What I have found in these six years isn't a better investing strategy. It is a framework for understanding crypto, how it works, and where we stand in it. I am writing this course because the framework is teachable, and because the people who need it the most have never seen it before.
