📢 Learn self-custody. Don’t use custodial services. Take full control of your sats. Relying on custodians means trusting third parties and that goes against the core values of Bitcoin and the cypherpunk ethos. 🔐 Not your keys, not your coins. #Bitcoin #SelfCustody #CryptoSecurity #DYOR image From your favorite Bitcoiner from Madeira - viva a liberdade! 🧡

An example of a secure Bitcoin setup for long-term holders: Imagine person A who doesn’t plan to use their sats in the short or medium term and wants to prioritize security and sovereignty. - Layer 1 (on-chain): They use a Coldcard Q to store their funds securely. The xpub is imported into a wallet like BlueWallet only for balance viewing and receiving transactions, private keys remain fully offline. - Layer 2 (Lightning): For small transactions and day-to-day use, Person A uses Phinix Wallet, which is lightweight, convenient, and non-custodial. - Distributed backups: Instead of memorizing seeds or passphrases, which is risky, they create multiple physical backups stored in different countries, ideally in places where they don’t live. This increases resilience against various threats. This kind of setup is ideal for those who value self-custody, privacy, and long-term thinking. #Bitcoin #SelfCustody #Coldcard #LightningNetwork #OpSec #NotYourKeysNotYourCoins
