If you hold fiat cash, you are not doing self custody at all. If the govs/banks say that from tomorrow the $20 notes are not accepted anymore you'll end up having toilet paper. They cannot do the same with #Bitcoin. Bitcoin self custody is the best feeling!

There's a lot of confusion around the #shitcoins. I've seen people criticize others who acquire #Bitcoin by selling shitcoins.. So what's the problem? Some people have very limited access to fiat money. They have to pay rent, cover bills, and simply can't afford to buy Bitcoin directly. But some of them end up finding ways to earn shitcoins, maybe by validating or contributing, and eventually convert those earnings into Bitcoin. And that's fine. Let’s not forget: fiat currency is the biggest shitcoin Ponzi scheme. Many people around the world can’t even save in fiat, so they need to find other assets they can later sell for Bitcoin. Honestly, it gets frustrating to see toxic maximalists dictating how someone should stack sats. The goal is stacking sats, NOT how!

Most people think #Bitcoin self custody is about tools. It’s NOT. It’s about: - Habits - Mindset - Repetition - Redundancy - Confidence without arrogance It's all based on your threat model, there is no room for mistakes! #stacksats #hodl #secure

If you're into #Bitcoin self-custody but have never created your own seed phrase using real randomness, like rolling dice, you are at risk. Never rely on a hardware wallet to generate your seed for you. I (re)wrote a popular guide in my own style on how to create your own seed phrase from scratch. It takes a bit of time, but it’s fun, and you’ll end up with real, personal entropy you can trust! https://btcselfcustody.io/docs/seed

DIY #Bitcoin Node: - Raspberry Pi 5 8GB RAM (now the 16GB is available) - NVMe Base (by Pimoroni) - SSD NVMe 4TB - Ice Tower Cooler - Case created with 3D printer I know it is not cheap and there are for sure better solutions, but it works great (never had a single problem), and it was a lot of fun to assemble! The Pimoroni NVMe Base rocks! image

Cannot stress enough that you should use a computer exclusively dedicated to #Bitcoin and install #Libreboot open source BIOS on it: I have written a step-by-step guide on my website (below the link). My top laptop recommendation is the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s, but older models like the T430 or X230 also work great! https://btcselfcustody.io/docs/libreboot

Self Custody is a journey, it can take years to fully understand, but it’s absolutely worth it. It gives you peace of mind, a sense of control over your #Bitcoin, and the confidence that comes from knowing how things work. Most importantly, it opens your eyes to what you actually hold! If you’ve already gone down the #Bitcoin rabbit hole, you must embrace self custody!
