Bitcoin for Boomers: How to Join the Revolution Without Losing Your Pension

Introduction: Welcome to the Digital Gold Rush—No Pickaxe Required

Let’s be honest.

When you first heard the word Bitcoin, you probably thought it was some new-fangled gaming token or a scam cooked up by a 22-year-old in his mom’s basement. And who could blame you? The headlines didn’t help—“Bitcoin crashes!” “Bitcoin soars!” “Bitcoin is dead (again)!”

Meanwhile, you’ve spent your life doing things the sensible way. You worked, saved, and maybe even bought a house back when they were priced like cars. You believed in pensions, balance sheets, and—wild idea—earning interest on your savings. But in a world of negative interest rates and inflation gobbling up your retirement like a midnight snack, suddenly Bitcoin doesn’t sound quite so crazy.

This book isn’t here to tell you to mortgage the house and YOLO into crypto. It’s not written by some blockchain evangelist with laser eyes or someone trying to sell you a mystery coin. It’s written for you—someone who’s curious, cautious, and understandably skeptical.

We’re going to cut through the tech babble, dodge the hype, and take a clear-eyed tour of what Bitcoin is, why it matters, and how to approach it without putting your life savings at risk.

Because guess what?

The revolution isn’t just for the kids anymore.

Welcome to the world of Bitcoin. Let’s do this—Boomer style.
