Bitcoin Security Levels: How safe are your sats?

Not all Bitcoin holders have the same level of security. Here are 6 Bitcoin Custody security levels in one post.

Level 0: Bitcoin on an Exchange

πŸ’€ If your coins are on an exchange, they are not yours.

🚨 Risk: Hacks, insolvency, frozen accounts.

πŸ”‘ Not your keys, not your coins!

Level 1: Hot Wallet on Mobile or Desktop

πŸ”₯ You own your private keys, but they are online = vulnerable.

βœ… Better than an exchange, but not secure for long-term storage.

πŸ’‘ Recommended wallets: BlueWallet, Sparrow.

Level 2: Hardware Wallet with Shitcoin Support (or closed source Hardware Wallet)

πŸ” More secure than hot wallets, but:

🚨 Many hardware wallets (e.g. Ledger) support altcoins and are not fully Open Source.

❌ Unnecessary attack surface!

Level 3: Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet

βœ… No altcoin support = reduced attack vectors.

πŸ’‘ Recommended wallets: BitBox02

➑️ Want even more security? Airgapped wallets! πŸ‘‡

Level 4: Bitcoin-Only + Airgapped Hardware Wallet

βœ… Even fewer attack vectors since transactions are signed via QR code or SD card.

πŸ’‘ Recommended wallets: Foundation Passport, Coldcard, SpecterDIY

Level 5: Single Seed + Passphrase (Cold Storage)

πŸ’ͺ Extra security: Even if someone finds your seed, they can’t access your funds without the passphrase.

Important: Never store your passphrase digitally

πŸ” Recommended wallets: Foundation Passport, SpecterDIY

🚨 Warning: Higher risk as you now have two single points of failure. Your setup must be well thought out.

Level 6: Multi-Sig Cold Storage

πŸ›‘οΈ Multiple keys required to spend = maximum protection.

βœ… No single point of failure.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦ Ideal for families or businesses.

πŸ” Can be customized:

➑️ 2-of-3, 3-of-5, mixed hot & cold wallets.

πŸ’‘ Recommended solutions: Unchained Capital, Sparrow, Blockstream Jade

That's a wrap! Let me know what you think! Do you agree? Did I miss something?

If you are not a Bitcoiner, you are on the wrong side of history.

Hey Ron!

You're right. Since February has fewer than 30 days, a DCA purchase set for the 1st of each month would exceed the rolling 30-day limit on March. Unfortunately, we don’t have control over this rule, and we’re really sorry for the inconvenience.πŸ™„

As the 30-day period is rolling, transactions from early February will still be counted toward the limit on March 1st. Once those older transactions fall outside the 30-day window, the full 999 CHF limit becomes available again.

We’ve made some regulatory changes to our Bitcoin purchase process!

From now on:

βœ… You can buy up to 999 CHF worth of Bitcoin every 30 days via bank transfer - no further verification needed.

Everything that is not Bitcoin is a scam.
