Not at all. In fact, most people are surprised at how simple and affordable it really is.

We provide you with hardware recommendations that won’t break the bank. Low-power, high-performance devices that can run quietly in the background 24/7. Then we walk you through setup step by step, with zero jargon and no pressure.

Once it’s running, your node just quietly does its job: protecting your privacy and verifying every transaction you send or receive. You don’t need to be technical, you just need to care about doing Bitcoin the right way.

‍

No. Your Bitcoin is not stored on your node. It lives on the blockchain.

The node simply gives you a secure, private window into the network. If your node goes offline or the hardware fails, your Bitcoin is still safe. Nothing is lost.

We’ll show you how to back things up, and if something ever does go wrong, we can help you rebuild from scratch.

‍

When you leave your Bitcoin on an exchange, you're not actually holding it, the exchange is. What you have is an IOU. They control the private keys, which means they control the funds.

With self-custody, you hold your own keys. You don’t have to ask for permission to send your Bitcoin, and no one can freeze your account or lock you out. It's the difference between truly owning your money versus hoping someone else doesn't lose it, lend it, or restrict it.

‍

Yes. Hardware wallets keep your private keys offline, isolated from your phone or computer, which are far more vulnerable to malware or human error.

We help you choose the right device, walk you through setup step by step, and teach you how to use it with confidence. Whether you're storing a few hundred dollars or a life-changing amount, your Bitcoin deserves real protection.

‍

It can feel intimidating at first, especially if you’re used to traditional banking or have never handled private keys before. But with the right guidance, it becomes second nature.

We take the time to explain everything clearly, with no jargon or pressure. You don’t need to be technical, you just need to care enough to learn. And we’re here to make sure you get it right from day one.

Multisig, or multi-signature, is a way to secure your Bitcoin using more than one key. For example, you might need two out of three keys to move funds. This adds an extra layer of protection, especially for larger holdings, shared custody, or inheritance planning.

But not everyone needs multisig right away. If you're new to self-custody or not yet comfortable with the tech, we always start with a secure singlesig wallet first. Once you're ready, and if it makes sense for your situation, we can help you upgrade to a more advanced setup with zero pressure.

‍

If you’ve set up your backups correctly, nothing is lost. Your Bitcoin lives on the blockchain, your wallet is just a key to access it. With a secure and well-documented backup, you can always recover your funds.

But if the backup is missing or done incorrectly, recovery can become impossible. That’s why we work closely with you to create a backup plan that is not only secure, but also practical for your real life. You’ll know exactly what to do and where your critical information is, without relying on memory or guesswork.

‍

Most wallets leak more data than people realize. They might connect to someone else's node, reveal your IP address, or show your entire balance every time you make a transaction. This makes it easier to track your behavior and link your identity to your Bitcoin.

We help you take control of your privacy with tools like your own node, privacy-focused wallets, and better wallet practices. You don’t need to be a privacy expert. We guide you through practical steps that give you real protection without overcomplicating things.

‍

We have learned time and time again that trusting third party institutions to look after your wealth is not a safe or viable strategy.

During Bitcoin’s 15-year history we have witnessed multiple exchanges get hacked or simply abscond with user funds. Over $3.8bn was stolen from exchanges in 2022 and another $1.7bn in 2023.  

Bitcoin was created to enable you to ‘Be Your Own Bank’. It is a powerful tool that allows you to reduce counterparty risk to absolute zero and become the sole arbiter of your wealth.

Being the sole custodian of your wealth means your funds can never be confiscated and your transactions can never be censored.

This is what Bitcoin was designed for. You need to embrace it if you want to become truly self-sovereign.

Yes.

Taking self-custody of your Bitcoin is just the first step to being in complete control of your money. If you don’t set up and run your own Bitcoin Node, then you remain dependant on others when you want to use it.

Broadcasting your transactions through third party nodes can potentially reveal a lot about you, your Bitcoin activity and potentially even your identity.  When managing significant amounts of your wealth it makes sense to do this without compromising your privacy. You need to be broadcasting your transactions via your own node.

Why rely on unknown hardware run by other people when you can your own node and verify everything for yourself. One of Bitcoin’s golden rules is ‘Don’t Trust, Verify’.  

We keep our pricing simple, transparent and fair.

All of our packages ensure you take the most essential steps in protecting your Bitcoin including:

• Setting up an encrypted vault,
• Securing your seed phrases offline
• Setting up and configuring an air-gapped hardware wallet
• Running your own Bitcoin node.

If you want to go further and require support in other areas of your Bitcoin journey, then we have a series of packages that will enhance your skills in areas like Disaster Recovery, UTXO Management and Inheritance Planning.

We don’t charge percentage-based fees because we don’t believe you should pay a higher price simply because you have more wealth to protect. Regardless of the size of your stack, the process is the same and so is the price.

We also don’t charge ongoing subscription fees. The fees you pay are based simply on how much training you require. Our prices are fixed and are ‘one-time’ only. There are no surprises, just straightforward, expert support.

If you’re sceptical about who to trust when it comes to protecting your Bitcoin, then this is a good sign that you’re applying the appropriate amount of caution when managing and securing your wealth.

We designed our services to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Here are some of the ways we put your mind at rest:

• Our entire team is public online and is well known in the Bitcoin community.

• We NEVER touch your Bitcoin. We will never ask for your seed phrase or hold any private keys associated with your Bitcoin stack. We don’t need or want to know how much Bitcoin you have.

• If you would prefer it, you can remain completely anonymous throughout your training. We don’t need to know your identity to offer you expert education.

• We NEVER KYC our customers. We are not a financial institution and never hold any influence over your Bitcoin stack, so we don’t need to compromise your privacy or security by collecting identifiable information about you or your finances.

• We ONLY ever train you to use open-source hardware and software. That means that everything we do can be independently verified by you or anybody else. Everything we do is 100% transparent.

We cannot abuse your trust because we never put ourselves in a position to be able to. All we offer is expert education.
