Looking for some guidance on self custody, cold storage, etc.

Is there a definitive guide most Bitcoiners recommend that explains all this clearly and makes hardware wallet recommendations?

Thanks for your help!

It is unfortunately. My understanding is that it’s a stone that forms in veins near other stones and they only really dig it up incidentally while quarrying for other stuff. It does come up, but not as often as I’d like. Also to be honest I don’t love carving it. It’s fragile and requires only using angle grinders or saws. No hammer and chisel. And sanding it is rough too because of how translucent it is. It’s definitely beautiful, but I prefer working in marble…

It’s called orange honeycomb calcite. From Utah.

Is it hard to source? Expensive? You could probably make a business out of just fabricating and selling Bitcoin logos out of it!

Drop it off in the pool before you begin. Even if it means you miss a few minutes of the sesh. You'll thank me later.

AI is great and all, but I prefer natural materials formed over millions of years as calcium carbonate precipitates from mineral-rich groundwater in sedimentary environments, gradually crystallizing into an orange, honeycomb pattern of fibrous crystals separated by white calcite membranes.

What type of stone is that?

I feel this. I didn't use Bitcoin before I came here, but there's a very, very convincing bunch of people here.

Stay curious, keep reading and listening and buying a little BTC. If you remain interested and curious you will continue to go down the rabbit hole until you become fully convinced.
