The rules, in plain English

Terms of Service

Effective 2026-09-12 · V1.0. By buying from or using 21millionpublishing.com, you agree to the terms below. Read Returns & Refunds and Privacy Policy too — they're part of the deal.

Who we are

21 Million Publishing House (formation pending as an LLC; currently operated by Terrence L. Thomas) publishes and sells The Boy Who Cried Bitcoin and related merchandise at 21millionpublishing.com.

What you're buying

  • Ebook — a digital copy for personal, non-commercial reading. No resale of the file itself.
  • Bitcoin Edition — a physical, numbered copy of the book plus a claim code redeemable for a fixed USD value of Bitcoin (currently $5.60), paid in sats over Lightning at the live BTC price when you redeem. See the FAQ for exactly how that works.
  • Merch — made-to-order apparel and goods fulfilled by our print-on-demand partners.
  • Free companion course — included with every edition, no signup required.
This is not an investment offering, a security, a custodial financial product, or a promise of future value. See the whitepaper for the full disclosure.

The Bitcoin claim, plainly

Your claim code is redeemable once, for the fixed USD value stated at purchase, converted to sats at the live BTC price at the time you redeem. Once paid to the Lightning address you provide, the transaction is final and cannot be reversed by us — Bitcoin payments do not have chargebacks. We are not custodial: we don't hold your keys after payout and cannot recover Bitcoin sent to an address you no longer control. See Returns & Refunds for what happens if you want a refund before redeeming.

St. Jude donation

5% of net proceeds from every copy is set aside for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, reserved at checkout and remitted on the schedule described on the St. Jude page, with public receipts. St. Jude does not endorse this book or any product sold on this site; it is the recipient of a gift from the publisher.

Ordering, pricing & availability

Numbered editions are limited (21,000 total) and prices step up in batches as described on the site. We reserve the right to correct pricing or listing errors before an order ships, and to limit quantities per customer to prevent abuse.

No investment advice

Nothing on this site, in the book, in the free course, or in any communication from us is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Bitcoin's price is volatile and can go to zero. We are not a financial advisor and do not manage funds on your behalf beyond the one-time claim payout described above.
We never ask for your seed phrase, private keys, or a wallet connection. Anything claiming to be us that does is a scam — ignore it and report it.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, 21 Million Publishing House and Terrence L. Thomas are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your purchase or use of this site, including losses related to Bitcoin price movement, self-custody wallet mistakes, or third-party service outages (Stripe, Printful, Lulu, Every.org, Lightning network issues).

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the business or the law changes. Material changes will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the update.
