Bitcoin Self-Custody Guides

Everything on this site exists for one reason: helping you keep your bitcoin safe without trusting anyone else with it. Start with any guide below. Each one answers a single question directly, then shows you exactly what to do.

Protecting your seed phrase

Your seed phrase is the master key to your bitcoin. Whoever holds it controls the coins. These guides cover hiding it, backing it up against fire and disaster, and recovering from mistakes.

Self-custody in real life

Security advice is useless if it does not survive contact with real life: renting, traveling, living with other people. These guides deal with the situations you actually live in.

Bitcoin tools

Numbers beat guesses. These free calculators run entirely in your browser and help you plan a stacking strategy or convert between sats and dollars at the live price.
