I help Bitcoiners set up their Self Custody securely so they are confident & protected into the future | https://Bitcoinsuccessschool.com/linktree
Always treat people how you'd like to be treated... Like my good friend says, 'Do something nice for yourself today and for someone else out there, be blessed, peace'
Bitcoin self-custody shouldn’t be guesswork... Most people don’t get “hacked”, they get caught by basic failure points: • coins left on an exchange • backups that were never tested • no inheritance plan • a setup so complex it can’t be maintained This carousel is the simple checklist I wish everyone followed to be secure for their future. You're ahead of 99% by understanding why Bitcoin is important but securing it is just as important (and simple when done correctly) Take the 3‑minute Bitcoin Self‑Custody Assessment and it'll show you your biggest risk + the next step. DM 'ASSESS' and I’ll send you the assessment to check any weak areas you may be missing
The hardest part of understanding Bitcoin isn’t learning something new... It’s unlearning what you were certain was true. The people who struggle most are often the 'smartest' ones in the room. Because their certainty makes it harder to see clearly and unlearn. Bitcoin has a way of quietly exposing the assumptions we didn’t realise we were standing on. It doesn’t ask for blind belief, but instead it asks for humility... And that’s where real understanding begins.

Most people avoid self-custody because they think it is “too technical”... When something feels overwhelming, we tell ourselves a story But that story isn’t true. And it keeps people stuck in systems they don’t actually trust... Sovereignty doesn’t come from knowing everything at the start. It comes from having a setup you can understand, follow and learn.. A process you can explain and a plan you’re confident about. Self-custody should reduce stress, not create more of it. And when done correctly, you are now in charge. All the freedom is in your hands DM me the word 'clarity' and I'll send you a self custody checklist

Most people think the risk with Bitcoin is the price... But the real risk is where you hold it and who you’re trusting. This conversation is with someone who learned that the hard way. Bitcoin didn’t fail him but an exchange did. We talk about: - why buying Bitcoin isn’t the same as owning it - why self-custody is just basic responsibility - how “it won’t happen to me” is the most dangerous mindset - why the cost of getting this wrong only grows over time If Bitcoin is meant to be long-term savings, then how you set it up matters more than most people realise. DM me 'LOST' for the full conversation

Most people feel financial pressure every day even though they feel like they are being sensible and not being irresponsible... Tired of running faster and still the feeling of falling behind... tired of rent going up and savings going nowhere When you’re in survival mode you rarely get space to ask why you're even in survival mode, you just focus on getting through the week That’s not a personal failure... that’s what a broken system feels like from the inside and what it's creating... For most people if they start and keep asking the right questions long enough, that path quietly leads to Bitcoin It eventually starts to make sense...

Most people think self-custody is about not getting hacked (I did too) But it's not... It’s about removing single points of failure from your life If your setup only works when nothing goes wrong it isn’t a setup... it’s a hope that will turn ugly Real security is simple, boring, but you are ready the day it matters And that’s why this isn’t about being technical or paranoid, it’s just about being responsible Not just for yourself, but for the people who would be left to deal with the mess if something happened You don’t need to understand every detail to start with, you just need a clear step by step system that’s been thought through properly That’s the difference between buying Bitcoin and being responsible for it And with that comes sovereignty and huge empowerment If you want to check your setup DM me “CHECK” and I’ll send you a simple self-custody assessment

I didn’t come to Bitcoin looking for sovereignty... I came looking for how to get rich quick. I took a course thinking it was about how to trade, charts, timing and beating the market. Instead, it was about self-custody, what money actually is and why most of what’s called “crypto” misses the point entirely... Bitcoin isn’t a product or a company or an investment you rotate in and out of, it’s a protocol... And protocols are winner take all Email didn’t end up with 12 winners, the internet didn’t settle on a “second-best” version... Winner-takes-all isn’t ideology but it’s how networks work. Crypto is experimentation whereas Bitcoin is final settlement. Crypto: How do we change the rules to move faster? Bitcoin: What happens if the rules can’t be changed at all? Once you see that difference, you can’t unsee it... And once you understand why a neutral, immutable monetary protocol matters… There is no going back. That understanding made me calmer, more patient and more deliberate. And it completely changed my life and relationship with money. I was able to share this recently at Bitcoin MENA... the shift from speculation to understanding. Everyone’s journey starts somewhere and I am super grateful for how it started

If your regularly surprised with what's happening in the world, it’s probably not the world that’s wrong. It’s your current mental model of how you think the world should be. Technology is increasing exponentially. As a result prices should be falling and abundance should be increasing. But that’s not what’s happening... everything is getting more expensive and international best selling author, Jeff Booth, explains why... He explains the system we’re living inside, why debt can never be paid back, and an exit route from a model that no longer makes sense. If anything in this clip made you pause or rethink how money actually works, the full conversation goes much deeper... DM me 'Jeff' for the full episode

When a system relies on expansion (money printing) to survive, scarcity is your friend. Zoom out far enough and it gets even clearer. One system expands to avoid collapse. One system is capped by design. Over time, excess liquidity doesn’t disappear... it looks for a new home and definitive scarcity has a habit of absorbing it

We talk about failure, persistence, money, and how understanding Bitcoin quietly changes the way you think about work, savings, and long-term freedom. This conversation with @AdamHudsonOfficial isn’t about hacks or shortcuts but instead about why relying on a single employer, a single system, or a single definition of success is far riskier than most people realise. If you feel like you’re doing all the right things but something still isn't clicking for you, this episode will land. It’s live now... DM me 'unemployable' and I'll send you the link

I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! This time of year always does the same thing to me... A bit of noise, a bit of reflection, a bit of “how did we get here already?” What’s changed for a lot of people I've talked to over the Christmas break isn’t confidence in Bitcoin... It’s taking responsibility for it. Buying Bitcoin is the easy part. Actually being in control of it is a different thing entirely. Self-custody isn’t exciting for everyone... But it’s the part that lets you sleep properly, especially when you’re thinking long-term or about people other than just yourself. 2026 is your year for a line in the sand... Less hoping, more doing. If this is the year you stop outsourcing responsibility and actually get your setup dialled in properly, my January self-custody intakes are now open. Limited spots, hands-on support, and a focus on doing this properly. DM me 'ready' to start your 2026 right and just get it done, your future self and your family will thank you

Most people think buying Bitcoin is the work but it isn’t... The work starts when you realise that buying Bitcoin and owning it are two very different things. This conversation with Tony Yazbek goes into the part of Bitcoin that rarely gets talked about publicly... Not price, not predictions, but responsibility. What changes when you stop relying on intermediaries, what self-custody actually gives you, and why so many people still miss the point even after years in the space. Tony has lived through monetary collapse. He’s not speaking in theory. He’s speaking from experience. If you already own Bitcoin and feel like there’s another layer you haven’t fully crossed yet, this episode will unlock that for you. DM 'free' and I will send you the full episode

You don’t need to be technical to hold your own Bitcoin. You just need a plan that works, even when things go wrong... A setup that’s simple, tested andd built for real life scenarios. That’s what you need if you haven't already set-up, the clock is ticking. You'll get: • Confidence to recover funds anytime • Clear steps, no guesswork • Peace of mind for you and your family Want help setting it up securely? DM me “Clarity” and I’ll walk you through it.

🎙️ Just dropped the LATEST episode with Robin Thatcher, the Bitcoin and Crypto Accountant If you hold Bitcoin and don’t understand the tax and reporting changes coming in 2026, this conversation is essential. We cover: - What governments can see now vs what changes in 2026 - The biggest record-keeping mistakes Bitcoiners are making - Why “I haven’t sold” doesn’t always mean “no tax” DM 'tax' for the full episode

In no way is this a 'poor me' post as I am extremely grateful for my upbringing and family. However more a frustration of their continued misunderstanding of Bitcoin... In previous years I'd be gifted cash for Christmas to 'save for a house'. Before bitcoin id actually usually just spend that cash... Since becoming more and more vocal about Bitcoin to them over the last 2-3 years, this year I received 'we aren't going to give you any cash this year because you will just buy Bitcoin with it' Funny how the world works. We're so early. Soon they will understand. 2026 could be the year
