🛡️ Bitcoin Journey Log #2 — My First Cold Wallet

Today I took a big step: I bought my first cold wallet.

Until now, everything I held was on exchanges — convenient, but risky.

The deeper I go down the rabbit hole, the more I realize that “not your keys, not your coins” isn’t just a slogan — it’s the foundation of Bitcoin sovereignty.

Setting it up felt intimidating at first, but also empowering.

Holding your own keys means taking full responsibility — no customer support, no password reset. Just you and your Bitcoin.

Next up: learning about backup phrases, multisig, and air-gapped security.

What was your first cold-storage experience like? Any tips for a newcomer?
