Get Your Crypto Off Exchanges And Protect Your Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency From Hackers, Expropriation And Yourself

This course will teach you how to take your Bitcoin ownership seriously. The focus is getting your Bitcoin off of centralised exchanges (ie Coinbase, Binance, FTX) and into self custody. This is extremely important for both yourself and the network itself.

Over 90% of Bitcoin is currently being kept on exchanges creating unnecessary counter party risk. You will learn fundamental steps you need to take in order to keep your Bitcoin and crypto safe.

This course focuses mainly on Bitcoin, but the concepts here can be applied across all other cryptocurrencies.

You may have heard the term, “Not your keys, not your coins”, which basically means, that if your Bitcoin is on an exchange, you don’t actually own the keys controlling that Bitcoin and therefore those coins are not really yours.

Is this course worth my time and money?

Because this is a highly subjective question relating to personal experience, conditions, knowledge, mental characteristics, and states; the answer depends on the person taking this course a.k.a. YOU.

With that in mind let me offer some objectives for your perceptions.


What will each section cover?

I’ve built this course with my friends and family in mind because they’re always asking me for help. They’re not technical people like me and I don’t expect you to be either. But now I can just send them this course the next time someone in my inner circle decides to join the Bitcoin revolution.

Here is an overview of each section with descriptions.

  1. Introduction – This is where we get familiar with the course forums, set expectations and learn more about what Bitcoin is and isn’t.

  2. Operational Security – This section is pretty much an entire security crash course on how to use computers, software and the internet safely and privately. This section is the longest and most important because owning Bitcoin comes with some serious responsibilities. You are the bank.

  3. Using Bitcoin –This is where we finally get to use Bitcoin. We set up wallets, secure our keys, then create transactions. Ultimately, the goal of this section is to show you how to safely send and receive Bitcoin from your own wallet.
