Welcome! Bienvenue 🙂 Self-sufficiency and Bitcoin fit together well: both are about not depending on someone else's permission.

One tip from someone who's watched a lot of people start here: back up your key (nsec) offline before anything else, the same way you'd back up a seed phrase. And if you ever want a Bitcoin node to match the homestead, a small low-power machine running Bitcoin Core does the job.

From an Iranian living in El Salvador, glad you're here.
