🚨 PSA: If you're not already doing so, please learn how to do self custody. For little #bitcoin, you can use a mobile wallet, but for larger amounts it's best to use a #hardwarewallet that will give you both security & comfort. Like for your favorite among these top 5 devices:
1. @Ledger has multiple types of devices that look like USB sticks at different price ranges. The cheapest will do the job: ledger.com
2. @Trezor is another well established company with two different products. Again, the cheaper version will do the job: trezor.io
3. @Blockstream's Jade wallet is relatively new, but great device at a low price: blockstream.com/jade/
4. @COLDCARDwallet looks like a calculator and it is proudly a #bitcoin only wallet: coldcard.com
5. At last we have: @ShiftCryptoHQ's Bitbox wallet, a swiss made device: shiftcrypto.ch
Bonus recommended by readers: @FOUNDATIONdvcs's Passport wallet is a new device that features a high end design and finish for a relatively high price: foundationdevices.com
Another bonus: @SeedSigner Do It Yourself air gapped #bitcoin wallet: seedsigner.com

Top 3 reasons why people don’t take custody of their #bitcoin:

1. I don’t understand the tech.

I promise you it’s not that hard. If you can memorize a nursery rhyme and learn how to use a dumb phone you can do this too.

Wallets come with instructions: https://t.co/jRtztATuy9
2. What about inheritance?

If your beneficiary is old enough, educate them about the storage setup you use. If not, leave instructions with a trusted third party. Taking ownership of bitcoin inheritance is more straightforward than anything else. Books for education:
3. What if I need to sell it urgently?

If there is a crisis situation, the last place you want your coins to be is on an exchange because that’s when they will most likely abuse your trust and both bitcoin and fiat withdrawals will be limited.
