🔐 What Is Self-Custody?
Self-custody means you control your own Bitcoin instead of leaving it on an exchange or platform.
With self-custody:
you control the wallet
you control the private keys
you control the recovery phrase
📱 Common Wallet Types
Mobile Wallets
Good for beginners and smaller amounts.
Hardware Wallets
Better for long-term storage and larger amounts.
⚠️ Important Reminder
If you lose your seed phrase, your Bitcoin may not be recoverable.
Store your recovery phrase securely offline and never share it with anyone.
