Own it yourself
Bitcoin lets you hold value without asking a bank for permission. Education is how you keep that ownership.
Canadian Bitcoin education
Get off zero. Understand what you own.

Why get off zero?
You do not need a whole bitcoin. You need a first, honest understanding — then a small amount you can afford to learn with.
Learn while you hold
A small first purchase is tuition. The real return is understanding money, inflation, and self-custody.
Built for Canada
Exchanges, Interac, CRA tax basics, and GST/HST notes for businesses — in Canadian terms.
Fixed supply
There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin. That scarcity is the point. Time in the market beats timing it.
How to get off zero
Five calm steps. Start small. Keep records. Keep learning.
Learn the basics
What Bitcoin is, why 21 million matters, and the difference between holding bitcoin and trading noise.
Set up a wallet
Start with a reputable app. When the amount matters to you, move to a hardware wallet you control.
Buy a small amount
For most Canadians, Shakepay is a simple first step with Interac e-Transfer. Treat the first buy as tuition.
Hold with a plan
Write down your seed phrase on paper. Never share it. Enable 2FA. Ignore daily price theatre.
Know the Canadian tax basics
Buying and holding is generally not a taxable event. Selling, swapping, or spending usually is. Keep records.
Buy Bitcoin in Canada
Shakepay is a straightforward way for beginners to buy bitcoin with Canadian dollars. Interac e-Transfer, a regulated Canadian platform, and a mobile app that does not assume you already speak crypto.

Two paths. Same standard.
Individuals get off zero. Businesses learn to accept, invoice, and hold with a policy — not a tweet.
For people
Fundamentals, wallets, first purchase, self-custody, and a plain-language Canadian tax overview.
For businesses
Why accept bitcoin, what to put on the till (Shakepay is not a POS), convert-versus-hold, and Canadian GST/HST notes.
