Cole's famous self-custody beginner's workshop
When FTX collapsed overnight, billions in customer funds disappeared. The lesson was clear: if you don't hold your own keys, you don't truly own your Bitcoin.
This beginner-friendly workshop cuts through the confusion and teaches you exactly how to take custody of your Bitcoin - no technical background required.
What you'll learn:
What Bitcoin wallets actually do (hint: they don't store Bitcoin)
Why seed phrases are the key to everything
How to set up your first self-custody wallet, live and hands-on
When to consider upgrading to hardware wallets
What you'll walk away with:
A working Bitcoin wallet on your phone
Your seed phrase written down and understood
Confidence to receive and manage your own Bitcoin
A clear path forward as your stack grows
