Description
A complete Bitcoin self-custody, security, and privacy course from experts who have spent years understanding, consulting on, and exploring how to best use this financial freedom tool. While we don’t recommend Bitcoin as a privacy tool: if you’re still in Bitcoin for whatever reason, we’re here to help. This is the ultimate Bitcoin tutorial for self-custody seekers.
ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE
Your bank accounts are frozen, as is your crypto in that online exchange you trusted. You must flee the country with only what you carry. Gold and cash can be confiscated and computers can be searched. You cross the world and find a public computer, download a single program, and type from memory a sequence of twelve words. You now have access to a stash of bitcoin—unattached to your identity—tucked away for just this scenario, and the knowledge to use it anywhere in the world.
Cryptocurrencies are the ultimate exit strategy for inflation, social collapse, and other disasters. But only if you acquire and use them correctly, which 99% of people fail to do. And only if you understand what Bitcoin actually is. Bitcoin is not a stock. It’s not an online account. And it’s not a physical device. In its rare actual (and purely digital) form it is among the most self-sovereign financial tools you can imagine. In this course we explain step-by-step multiple ways to legally buy bitcoin with no attachment to personal information: non-KYC bitcoin. We then explain how to actually own it, how to use it within circular economies, and how to protect it and convert to other crypto for speculation or added privacy. The course doubles as a “Bitcoin 101” class and includes everything you need to understand this process from A to Z. No prior knowledge required.
For more advanced Bitcoin aficionados, we have dedicated modules on understanding the tradeoffs and use of all coinjoin implementations, on how chain analytics heuristics work, on coin control, on detailed analysis of how people lose their Bitcoin, and other rarely-covered topics.
As authorities crack down on cryptocurrencies, and as privacy on Bitcoin begins to border on impossible, it is critical to have up-to-date, tested methods for sovereign Bitcoin: especially in a post-Samourai Wallet environment. There is much confusion about this process. The aim of this course is first to correct the damaging false narratives (by many Bitcoin advocates no less) about what Bitcoin is, and then to show you how to use a purely digital asset to its radical potential. No confusing tech vocabulary. No idealism. No hacker-level computer skills. Only the focused steps to teach you how to make the most radical personal finance decision of your life.
