If someone non-technical asked you how to buy bitcoin and self-custody it, what resources and devices would you point them to first?

-What guides?
-Where to buy?
-How to store it?

-What guides? Anita Posch website or book -Where to buy? Highly dependent on jurisdiction. -How to store it? Start with Muun or equivalent. Follow up with single sig (+ passphrase) HW wallet. A lot of the answers to this poll are North America centric. Having experience trying to do this for fami...

I'd tell them - Buy daily from an exchange, and I'd recommend some exchanges. - When it feels like too much to lose, get a hard ware wallet, and I'd recommend some. - Don't sell if you can avoid it, but please spend the bitcoins if you can - and buy them back directly. HODL & SPEDN if you like wrod...

My good friend nostr:npub1cly0v30agkcfq40mdsndzjrn0tt76ykaan0q6ny80wy034qedpjsqwamhz put a bitcoin basics course together.

If they had very limited resources I'd refer them to nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx 's website. He has a pretty comprehensive list of btc resources.

As an European , I will suggest them to use nostr:npub1sqzr42dj8vx32yd5jcvvl3ytux45kl0etgf6y2ymjvmd7lqmuwmqk9vk7vand/or nostr:npub1zv7d9l5ac0zdzeh5mzfyaegcdgcwn8m2uaxdpsj93hgp4nqjmd0s6k82ke There is enough resources from these platforms to start and learn from.

The ressources given would depend on the amount this person is looking to buy medium-term, and their technical level. Along with the ressources, a good wallet is primordial. -Play money/discovering Bitcoin : Wallet of Satoshi -Some money/Diving into the rabbit hole about bitcoin : Green Wallet fro...

I really like BTC Sessions content. I think video is best actually showing how something works. The process. Also the why.
beefbitcoinliberty · 151w
The Bitcoin Standard. If they are able to read and understand that book then they will be able to help themselves to answer these questions. After all, bitcoin is for anyone, not everyone. If they are buying and self-custodying Bitcoin without understanding Bitcoin then they're just gambling for a p...

I would refer them to my consultancy practice.

Well I will be very much oblige to explain one or two things to that person about #bitcoin. First I will start by telling him or her where to buy #bitcoin on some exchanges with small withdrawal fees. I will also tell the person not to keep the bought #bitcoin on that exchange. Lastly, I will explai...

In Japan, almost no on-ramp payment via apps available, all you can do is buy one at the Exchanges certified by the government, and transfer it into your self-custody wallet. So the answers are: - Guides: Follow the instructions of Exchanges certified by the government - Where to buy: same as abov...

I'd say there's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Number one goal here would be get them to take the first steps without overwhelming them. None of us leveled up to where we are now in a single leap. My default onboarding wallet right now is Phoenix. Works with on chain and lightning, r...

they hand you dollars and you send them a transaction to their phone bluewallet. then if they want thousands of dollars worth of btc i will send them to a reputable exchange

I judge their personality and then do it the whole way with the ones making the right noises. Start to end. Its not about quantity its quality. I mentor about 5 people at their own pace an in different styles in context of their background and personality. There's no weblink for a common, fundam...

I tell them to buy with nostr:npub1yn4mddvdpwvy49jmwmuze600lpu4ej2sskjdp80dc455nm2edtdqaztec0 Id guide them with either nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 for lightening azteco voucher purchases or samourai for on chain vouchers.

Buy on Cash App for now until they understand non-KYC. Electrum for storage. Setup Blue Wallet watch-only to funnel funds into and keep track without fear of potentially losing phone and funds. Lightning would be a conversation for the 2nd date.

For the past year, riding on the "you get into Bitcoin at the price you deserve" wave, I have been telling all my family and friends I will help them get into Bitcoin. The entire process, start to finish, buying the hardware wallet, but with one catch: It will cost them, by a factor of how little t...

I would say start with Strike. Simple UI, similar to Venmo, it'll get them to the next step of " alright, what's next? how do I cold storage?" guides- btc sessions obviously buy on strike or robosats(RS would be later on) store on strike, but eventually multisig cold card or node running stuffy
Phillip Leslie · 151w
Open a Swan account. Buy bitcoin. Put it into a muun wallet or Phoenix or edge wallet.

Guides - Probably the Basics series that nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev has. It's such a complex topic I think it's too tough of an ask for someone to sit down and read a massive article that covers everything, it's easier to hand them half a dozen podcast epis...
