We break the cycle...
...of standing still, by building positive habits that last.
Positive Habits
...of a debt-driven system, by exploring sound money through Bitcoin.
Sound Money
…of living only for today, by building the confidence to forward plan for tomorrow.
Forward Plan
"The most powerful lessons are quietly learned, patiently practiced, and built on trust."
— The BTC Project
Move forward with purpose.
Our story
It started with a simple lesson: give something valuable to those ready to use it.
The BTC Project is an educational initiative working alongside young Australians (aged 18–23 at intake) who are ready to move forward with purpose and build positive futures.
In a fiat world where inflation erodes value and daily distractions can make it hard to focus on what truly matters, our online mentoring model helps participants build positive habits, strengthen their understanding of sound money, and forward plan for a positive future.
“Real help doesn’t just give; it supports with purpose, one young person at a time.”
How it works
Applicants (aged 18–23) submit an Expression of Interest. Our team reviews submissions, and selected individuals move on to a full application. Those accepted join an eight-month online mentoring journey as part of our National Pilot, which includes a program focused on:
Building positive habits through routines and mindsets that build resilience and progress.
Exploring sound money principles through Bitcoin education fostering responsible long-term thinking.
Learning to forward plan with confidence through setting goals and mapping steps toward a stronger future.
Support the Project
Every voluntary contribution, big or small, helps us continue to guide young Australians through our eight-month online mentoring journey. Contributions fund the resources that make this possible — from mentoring support and educational materials to program delivery costs.
See our Terms and Contribution Policy for more information.
Whether you're curious about the Project, have an idea to share, or would like to explore other ways to contribute, we'd love to hear from you!
Why Bitcoin?
We recognise the value in helping young people understand Bitcoin, its innovation and what it represents. Few global changes have offered as much promise for long-term impact. While its price can fluctuate, Bitcoin has historically rewarded patience, and our approach reflects that. We are Bitcoin-first not only for its potential as a store of value, but for the principles it embodies: sound money, planning ahead, taking responsibility, and growing with purpose. Combined with our holistic focus on personal growth, it becomes a powerful tool for education and empowerment. Learn more about Bitcoin at www.bitcoin.com.au.
Please note: Bitcoin is volatile and outcomes are not guaranteed. All information is educational and purpose-based only, not financial advice.
National Pilot
Our first pilot will launch in March 2026 supporting up to 10 participants across Australia. It will help them build positive habits, develop an understanding of sound money through Bitcoin, and gain the confidence to forward plan for a stronger future. Your contributions ahead of launch will make this possible by funding mentoring and support built on the Project’s three pillars of habits, money, and forward planning.
Your contributions make this possible, thank you.
