About us
Bitcoin Alpha launched in 2020 with a clear mission: making the complex world of crypto understandable. We cut through the noise to deliver clear, actionable insights about Bitcoin and crypto markets.
What Sets Us Apart
We bring a distinctive Dutch no-nonsense approach to crypto analysis. Instead of hype or wishful thinking, we:
- Present scenarios rather than certainties
- Combine our diverse expertise to provide comprehensive coverage
- Actually build in the space - from mining pools to Lightning nodes
While we're Bitcoin-first, we maintain an open mind to innovations across the crypto space. Our team doesn't just talk - we build, mine, and actively participate in the ecosystem.
Who We Are
Our team combines decades of hands-on crypto experience:
- Bart Mol - Our technical Bitcoin expert with boots on the ground, diving deep into the protocol and its real-world applications

- Bert Slagter - Our markets specialist, providing nuanced analysis of Bitcoin and macro trends
- Mike Lelieveld - Our Web3 analyst who brings comprehensive coverage of blockchain innovations, DeFi developments, and emerging crypto trends
You might also know us from Satoshi Radio, the Netherlands leading Bitcoin podcast. We're regular speakers at major crypto conferences worldwide and the go-to-persons for media outlets across the country, sharing our perspectives.
