We started SmartBitcoin Australia after an immense struggle to figure out exactly what Bitcoin is, how it works on a human level and what it potentially means for the global economy. We found other Bitcoin and cryptocurrency websites and guides to be incredibly complicated, going too deep into the technical details of cryptography and blockchain functionality.

Our goal for SmartBitcoin is to ease the adoption of and transition towards cryptocurrencies by providing practical, non-technical guidance to the uninitiated. We hope to explain Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to you in terms of uses and benefits, rather than technical jargon, so that you develop a functional understanding of what our future potentially holds.

It took a lot of head scratching to develop our own understanding, coming from non-technical backgrounds ourselves, but we got to the point where we can confidently communicate the ins and outs of cryptocurrencies to the general public.

We’ve started by creating several cornerstone guides on how to get involved with cryptocurrencies, how to buy Bitcoin, etc., and we also endeavour to keep you up to date with the latest news and happenings in the world of Bitcoin, whether you’re using it as a currency or holding it as an investment.

SmartBitcoin is based in Sydney, Australia, with a focus on Australian cryptocurrency news and events, though a lot of our content is globally relevant. The information that will be Australia-specific, which will perhaps not apply globally, will be the information related to taxation (capital gains tax), some investment and trading tips and techniques, and the exchange of Bitcoins for AUD, and vice versa.

We encourage you to join our mailing list if you want to be the first to hear about important headlines and get access to exclusive interviews with cryptocurrency developers and influencers. We intend to stay on the cutting edge of this new technology as it grows and matures.
