Secure Your Bitcoin for Life.
The step-by-step course to master self-custody, and build a truly sovereign cold storage system.
From foundational mechanics to advanced Coldcard setups, this is the complete security blueprint trusted by Bitcoiners globally.
The Silent Risks in Your Bitcoin Setup
-
You followed tutorials, but you’re still guessing.
You think you set it up correctly, but be honest: Did you authenticate the firmware? Do you know how to verify addresses? Do you know how spending works? If you don't know, you may not be as secure as you think.
-
Your setup is not battle tested.
Most people set it and forget it. But unless you have wiped your hardware wallet, restored from backups, and successfully spent a UTXO, you are trusting a backup system that might fail when you need it most.
-
You are trapped in Complexity.
You feel pressured to use "expert" tools like Multisig. But if you have built a system too complex for you to manage, you are more likely to lose funds to user error than to a hack.
-
You’re piecing together a puzzle.
There is no single place to find the complete picture. You are hopping from technical guides to random articles, trying to stitch together a security plan from scattered fragments all over the web.
Stop following instructions. Start understanding the system.
Most online content teaches you what to click, but never explains the fundamentals. That is why you feel insecure—you are learning steps instead of mastering tools.
The Bitcoin Course is the antidote. It is a practical, step-by-step security course designed to give you the foundational knowledge AND the skills to secure your bitcoin.
✅ Achieve True Confidence: Understand the mechanics of keys, seeds, and addresses so you never second-guess a transaction again.
✅ Master Cold Storage: Learn industry-leading tools like Coldcard and Sparrow Wallet without getting lost in technical jargon.
✅ Eliminate the "Fear of Loss:" Sleep soundly knowing your backups are robust, verified, and stress-tested against real-world failure scenarios.
✅ Future-Proof Your Wealth: Build a security foundation that adapts as Bitcoin evolves, ensuring your savings stay protected for decades.
