About the author
Michael A. Duniec
Author, serial IT entrepreneur, early Bitcoin miner, and advocate for security-minded crypto education.
The origin story
Mining in 2011 shaped the mindset.
Mike began his Bitcoin journey in 2011, when decentralized digital money was still a strange frontier and early miners used graphics cards, mining pools, and a lot of trial and error. The book turns those lessons into a reader-friendly path through opportunity, risk, and security.
- Master of Science in Commercial Enterprise in Space from Florida Tech.
- BBA in Entrepreneurship & Marketing from Kent State University.
- CompTIA Security+ CE Professional.
- Focused on self-custody, hardware wallet discipline, and practical education.
