Plan B Network Launches CypherTank to Spotlight Bitcoin Builders

Ben Graham · February 2

Plan B Network just launched CypherTank, a global Bitcoin pitch series that puts founders and their ideas on stage. Bitcoin traded calmly near recent levels as the show debuted, suggesting this was about curiosity rather than price movement. The timing lines up with a growing desire to understand Bitcoin beyond charts and headlines.

This launch does not aim to move markets. It aims to build understanding. For beginners, that kind of cultural signal often shapes trust before money ever enters the picture.

What Is CypherTank And Why Should You Care?

CypherTank works like a Bitcoin-only pitch show. Founders step up and explain what they are building, how it works, and why it fits Bitcoin ideas like holding your own keys and open access.

Think of it as watching people build in public. You see ideas while they are still raw, before big funding rounds or loud promotion. That helps newer users learn how real Bitcoin tools come together.

The first episode premieres on January 31, 2026, at Plan ₿ Forum El Salvador. Joe Nakamoto hosts the main stage screening, with a live stream available worldwide at the same time.

Why Public Bitcoin Pitches Help Right Now

Bitcoin can feel distant when all you see are price updates. A show like CypherTank brings it back to real people trying to solve everyday problems.

Many crypto losses stem from trusting things that were never explained clearly. Watching founders talk through their thinking helps you learn what to question before risking money.

It also reinforces the idea of self-custody, which means holding your own Bitcoin instead of leaving it on an exchange. If that concept feels new, learning the basics of Bitcoin hardware wallets is a good first step toward long-term safety.

How This Fits A More Open Bitcoin Culture

Rules around crypto now push clearer explanations and disclosures, especially for products sold to the public, which you can see in recent SEC guidance on crypto exchange-traded products

CypherTank reflects that same idea in a social way. Builders explain themselves openly, and viewers can judge ideas early rather than being pulled in later by noise.

This kind of openness helps beginners notice warning signs sooner, especially after repeated data breaches tied to self-custody security risks.

A Reality Check For New Viewers

A pitch show is not an investment guide. Many ideas will never work, and that is part of the process of building.

Watching CypherTank should teach you how to think about Bitcoin projects, not what to buy. A pitch is never a promise, and high-risk ideas belong in the learning category, not tied to money you depend on.

If you want exposure to Bitcoin itself, focus first on understanding custody and basic protections, rather than chasing early projects.

CypherTank runs new episodes through February, with winners recognized in Lugano on March 3. As Bitcoin moves toward deeper understanding, this kind of quiet education plays a bigger role than price ever will.
