Bitcoin Security Straight Up One weekend. One route.

Set up your Bitcoin so that even if someone finds your seed phrase, they still can't take it.

By Sunday night your Bitcoin is off the exchange. It sits on a device that has never touched the internet, your own node checks every transaction, and your family has a plan they can follow without you.

Two hours of video show every step on screen, in order. You do each one as you go.

  • Every step shown on screen, in the order you do it.
  • One route. No choosing between twelve wallets.
  • Stuck on a step? The email address reaches me.
  • 60-day refund, any reason. Just email me.

Real comments on the free videos, word for word. The course is taught the same way, one plain step at a time.

§ 01 · The fair question

It's all free on YouTube. So why pay for this?

I make the free videos, so I know exactly what's in them. And what isn't. Free Bitcoin content causes three problems, and they're the reason people lose coins.

1

It was made for someone else.

The security video you watched was built for a developer with a seven-figure stack, or by a reviewer paid per click on the device.

Copy their setup and you get one of two things. Too complicated to keep up, or too weak to matter.

2

You click what's interesting, not what you need.

Nobody clicks "test your recovery before you need it". Nobody clicks "write the letter your family will read".

Those are the boring steps. They're also where the money gets lost.

3

Twelve wallets, four opinions on each.

So you put it off. The coins sit on the exchange "for now".

That's the one choice guaranteed to leave someone else holding your keys.

"People have lost millions even after having bitcoin in self-custody for 5-8 years because they did not understand security properly."
A viewer, @TheBitcoinCitizen, under 3 Easy Things Every Bitcoiner Should Do

So this course doesn't give you more information. It gives you less. One route, in the right order, with everything else cut out.

§ 02 · The route

Seven steps. Then you're done.

Every step ends with something finished on your own kit, not something learnt. Here's what you walk away with from each one.

  1. 01

    Why this setup, in plain English ~10 min

    You finish with a reason for every step that follows, so you never skip one.

    If you watch the channel, skip it.

  2. 02

    Buying without giving up your privacy ~15 min

    You finish with an exchange that sends every buy straight to your own wallet, so it never holds more than one.

    Plus the mistakes I made the first three times, and what to do if your bank flags a transfer.

  3. 03

    Your hardware wallet, set up properly ~25 min

    You finish with a device that has never touched the internet and a seed made from your own dice.

    Firmware checked before any key exists. A backup that avoids the seven common ways people lose one.

  4. 04

    The 25th word ~15 min

    You finish with a passphrase stored apart from your seed, so a found seed phrase opens nothing.

    And a decoy wallet for the worst day of your life.

  5. 05

    Your own node ~20 min

    You finish with a Start9 fully synced and checking every transaction you make.

    Out of the box to working. No command line, no soldering.

  6. 06

    Inheritance your family can follow ~20 min

    You finish with an inheritance plan your family can follow, and you've already walked them through it.

    Including the partner conversation and the parent conversation.

  7. 07

    Living with it ~15 min

    You finish with one check a year, and rules for adding to the stack without breaking anything.

    What to do when the price halves. What to do when it doubles.

What you can stop reading about

Altcoin wallets. The device-of-the-month argument. Multisig threads. Building a node from a command line. The daily price. None of it is on the route.

§ 03 · What changes

Eight worries that stop by the end.

Most people who buy Bitcoin spend the next few years quietly worried about losing it. Here's each worry, and the thing you'll have done about it.

  1. 01

    "What if someone finds my seed phrase?"

    They can't get in. Your 25th-word passphrase sits somewhere else, and only the two together unlock the wallet. Whoever finds one of them on its own has found nothing.

  2. 02

    "What if my exchange collapses like FTX?"

    Your Bitcoin isn't on it. FTX, Mt Gox, the next one with a three-letter name. None of them touch you, because you're no longer a customer of a platform.

  3. 03

    "What if I die without telling anyone how to access this?"

    Your family has a document they can find and steps that work. You've tested the recovery with them. Not a "later" plan. A done plan.

  4. 04

    "What if there's another supply chain attack like September 2025?"

    That attack shipped malicious code to over two billion downloads of trusted software. A wallet that had never touched the internet was completely safe. Yours won't have either.

  5. 05

    "What if a government decides to freeze Bitcoin transactions?"

    Your transactions go from your own node straight to the network. No middleman, no service to suspend. And one more node makes the network that much harder to lean on.

  6. 06

    "What if someone forces me to send my Bitcoin at gunpoint?"

    You hand over the decoy. A different passphrase opens a wallet with a small balance. They get the show, you keep the savings. It's the answer to the "five-pound wrench attack".

  7. 07

    "What if I can't move my Bitcoin when I want to?"

    You can. Any amount, to anyone, at any hour, without asking a bank, an exchange or a government. No "we're closed for the bank holiday".

  8. 08

    "What if I get this wrong and lose everything?"

    You rehearse first. A small amount sent, a small amount received, a recovery done from scratch. By the time real money goes in, you've already proved the setup works.

§ 04 · Who this is for

Built for someone specific.

Yes, if you
  • Own some Bitcoin on an exchange and know that's not ownership.
  • Have watched plenty of videos and still haven't moved it.
  • Want one walkthrough you can actually finish in a weekend.
  • Don't want to be in someone's Discord at 7pm on a Tuesday.
  • Have something to lose if you get this wrong.
No, if you
  • Want to "make ten percent a month" trading altcoins.
  • Need a community to keep you accountable.
  • Want weekly live Q&A or a private mentor.
  • Already self-custody with multisig and feel confident.
  • Are looking for the next 100x coin. That's not what I do.

§ Before you buy

You'll need a small bit of gear.

I want to be upfront about this so nobody's surprised after they buy. The course walks you through setting up real hardware. If you don't already own it, here's what you'll need to budget for.

Required

A hardware wallet

One air-gapped device that signs without ever touching the internet. That is exactly why holders were safe during the September 2025 supply chain attack.

  • A SeedSigner. Roughly £50 to £80 in parts if you build it yourself, or £130 to £180 ready assembled. It's the one I'd put a beginner on today. It holds no key between uses, so there's nothing sitting in a drawer for anyone to find, and it's the cheapest way into a proper air gap.

You make your own randomness with dice, keep the keys off the internet, and check your balance against your own node. If you already own an air-gapped hardware wallet, brilliant, use that.

One bit of honesty about timing. The hardware lessons were filmed on an older device, before I moved my recommendation across. I'm re-recording them on a SeedSigner now. The thinking doesn't change, only the kit does, and the new versions land in your account the day they're done. Lifetime access means you get them free.

Optional

Your own node (a Start9)

Around £700 to £1,000 one-off. Plug it into your router and the course sets it up with you from the box. It's the piece that lets you check your own balance against your own copy of the blockchain, instead of taking someone else's server's word for it.

There are cheaper build-it-yourself routes out there. I don't teach them, and I'd rather tell you that now than leave you stuck halfway through one with nobody to ask. The course does one route, properly.

One more thing. If you buy the course, I'll pass on any discount codes I've negotiated with the gear partners I recommend. Sometimes they're 5%, sometimes more, sometimes nothing on a particular product. I'll never inflate the price to make a discount look bigger, and I'll never pretend a code exists if it doesn't.

§ 06 · What's in the box

What you get. And what you don't.

I run a YouTube channel, not a community. So this is the thing I wish someone had handed me when I started: watch it, do it, done.

You get
  • All seven steps, about two hours of video, for life
  • The companion notes PDF: the steps without the video
  • The SeedSigner re-recordings free, the day each one lands
  • Updates when the steps change (rare, but they do)
  • An email address that reaches me when you're stuck on a step
  • Any discount codes I have on the gear
You don't get
  • A Discord you have to keep up with
  • Weekly calls
  • Ninety hours of video to wade through
  • Homework, points or a certificate
§ 07 · What done looks like

Tick these six and you're finished.

  • Nothing left on an exchange beyond your latest buy
  • A seed made from your own dice, backed up properly
  • A 25th word stored somewhere else
  • Your own node checking your balance
  • A test send and a full recovery, both done small
  • An inheritance plan your family can follow without you

Sixty days. Any reason at all. I'll refund you.

You've got 60 days. If you're not happy, for any reason, send me an email and I'll refund you. No questions asked. No form to fill in, no proving you watched it, no asking whether you "really tried."

The promise is there for the same reason the channel exists. This isn't supposed to feel like being sold to. If the course doesn't earn the price you paid, that's on me, not you.

§ 08 · The honest FAQ

The questions I actually get.

What if I get stuck on a step?

Email me. The address is in your welcome email and it reaches me, not a support desk. Most stuck points are one screenshot away from sorted.

Is this enough? I feel like I need more hand-holding.

For most people, yes. The course assumes you can follow steps on screen and pause when you need to. If the words "hardware wallet" still make you tense up, a 1-to-1 with me or a done-for-you service might suit you better. Both cost a lot more.

Which hardware wallet does the course use?

A SeedSigner. That's the one I'd put a beginner on today, and it's what the hardware lessons are being re-recorded on right now. The versions on the site at this moment were filmed on an older air-gapped device, before I moved my recommendation across, so a few of the button presses look different. Everything that matters is the same: your own dice, a real air gap, and every address checked against your own node. The new recordings land in your account as soon as they're finished, at no extra cost.

Why no community?

Because running a community well is a full-time job and I already have one. Communities also tend to turn into places where people argue about altcoins instead of doing the work. If you want a Bitcoin community there are good ones already. I'll point you at them in the course.

Will the steps still work in two years?

The principles will. The exact hardware wallet I recommend might not be the cheapest option. I send updates when something material changes. The seed-phrase maths doesn't change.

I'm not sure I'm ready. Should I do the free template first?

Yes. The free Bitcoin Security Template is the checklist version of step three. If that's enough for you, you don't need this. If you finish it and want the rest, the course is here.

Can I pay in Bitcoin?

Not yet. The Bitcoin rail (on-chain, paid straight to me, no middleman) is being built. When it lands it'll be half price, because paying in Bitcoin means you've already done some of the work the course covers. For now it's card only.

Can I expense this through my company?

Yes. Email me and I'll send a proper invoice you can put through the books.
