You might know me from the Southern Bitcoiner YouTube channel, where over half a million views worth of Bitcoiners have learned practical self-custody security. Now you can work with me directly.
I've helped clients across the globe secure millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin — building setups that are tested, verified, and designed so you can recover confidently on your own.
I've presented workshops at Bitcoin conferences, appeared on podcasts and radio shows, and work with clients every week on real-world Bitcoin security. Every session is hands-on, one on one, and tailored to your setup and goals.
Testimonials
"When I first got into Bitcoin, I didn't know anything about it. I kept hearing how important it was to do it right — security, custody, all of it — and it honestly felt more complicated than it should have been. I did the research. Watched videos. Spoke to people. Most of what I found was either too technical or just didn't land. Then I found Cole. He has a creative way of explaining Bitcoin that makes it click without making you feel lost or talked down to. What felt complicated before became clear and manageable. I walked away confident — not just informed. Cole didn't just teach me Bitcoin. He made it make sense."
"I had my coins on an exchange for far too long. I was always quite nervous about taking self-custody. Cole guided me through the entire setup of a Coldcard. I really appreciated all the testing and recovery practice we did together. I understand the system back to front and have all my coins secure in my own custody."
"I've had 4 meetings with Cole covering Start9 node setup, Sparrow, Cold Wallet, and UTXO management. He's prompt, efficient, and easy to work with — the expert you're looking for."
"Cole has coached me several times, he's very patient, thorough, highly competent in this space. His fees are reasonable compared to the hyper-advertised companies. I would recommend him as your first choice."
"Working with Cole was an excellent experience. He guided me through the entire process. He made what could have been a complex and overwhelming process feel clear and manageable."
FAQ
No. I never touch your Bitcoin, I never ask for your seed phrase, and I never will. Every session is a video call where I guide you through steps on your devices. I only recommend open-source, verifiable tools — nothing proprietary, nothing closed-source. If you want to remain anonymous throughout the process, you can.
Maybe. The question isn't whether you have a hardware wallet — it's whether your setup would survive a real recovery scenario. Have you tested your backup? Did you verify firmware? Do you understand your derivation path? If you're not sure, a session or two can identify and fix the gaps without starting from scratch.
We meet over video call (Google Meet or other private alternatives) and work through everything together on screen. I walk you through each step while you do it on your own devices. Between sessions, you have text support via Signal or ProtonMail for anything that comes up. Packages include as many sessions as needed to finish — we don't stop halfway.
Each package covers a specific outcome — like a complete hardware wallet setup or a multisig vault. You pay a single fixed fee upfront, and we work together until the job is done. There's no session limit or time pressure. If it takes an extra call to get everything right, we do the extra call.
All packages are fixed, one-time pricing. No subscriptions, no percentage-based fees — you don't pay more because you hold more Bitcoin. For smaller tasks outside a package, I charge a flat hourly rate. Book a free consultation and I'll recommend exactly what you need and what it costs before you commit to anything.
That's what hourly sessions are for. Firmware update, wallet recovery, UTXO consolidation, passphrase setup, node troubleshooting — if it's a focused task, we can handle it in one or two sessions without committing to a full package.
Yes. Sessions are designed so you understand what you're doing, not just follow instructions. I explain the reasoning behind each step without jargon. By the end, you should be able to manage your setup independently — that's the whole point.
If your backups are set up correctly, nothing is lost. Your Bitcoin lives on the blockchain — your wallet is just the key to access it. Every package includes a full recovery drill so you've already proven your backup works before we finish. That's not optional, it's built into the process.
You'll have a setup you fully understand and can manage on your own. If something comes up later — a firmware update, a question about spending, or you want to upgrade your security model — you can book an hourly session. There's no ongoing subscription or maintenance fee.
Yes. I accept Bitcoin on-chain and via Lightning. Fiat payment is also available.
