New Skill Forged

Mastering Bitcoin: Unlocking Digital Cryptocurrencies by Andreas M. Antonopoulos. 280 pages.

Bitcoin protocol internals from first principles — keys, addresses, UTXO model, Script language, P2P network, Merkle trees, mining, and consensus. Antonopoulos frames Bitcoin as a decentralized trust network, not just digital money.

What this skill teaches Claude to do:

• Trace the key generation chain: private key → public key (ECDSA) → address (Base58Check)
• Explain UTXO model vs account model and why Bitcoin has no ‘balances
• Read and write Bitcoin Script for P2PKH, P2SH, and multisig transactions
• …and 7 more
