Frequently Asked Questions
Why self-custody?
"Not your keys, not your coins" — exchanges go bankrupt (FTX, Mt. Gox, Celsius, $20B+ user losses). Self-custody = you control. But: you also lose if you screw up. Trade-off depends on amount + skill.
Hardware wallet vs software?
Hardware (Ledger, Trezor, BitBox): private key never touches internet, even if PC compromised. ~$70-200. Software wallets (Metamask, Phantom): convenient but online attack vector.
Seed phrase backup?
24-word seed = your wallet. Loss = funds gone forever. Theft = funds gone. Best: metal backup (CryptoSteel, BillFodl), 2 copies, geo-separated, never digital, never photo, never cloud.
