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?

Michael Saylor Alex Fridman podcast. Then I’d sell them my #btc so I could buy more

Read the bitcoin source code, especially the code that determines the block rewards.

Andreas aantonopoulous has some great older videos. I think this would be a great starting point. Also his book the internet of money is great. Personally, I would say use well known exchange operating in your country. Get well known brand hardware wallet. Dont invent your own stuff and use hardw...

The Bitbox02 nostr:npub1tg779rlap8t4qm8lpgn89k7mr7pkxpaulupp0nq5faywr8h28llsj3cxmt does it all actually ! You can buy through the hardware wallet with nostr:npub1zv7d9l5ac0zdzeh5mzfyaegcdgcwn8m2uaxdpsj93hgp4nqjmd0s6k82ke incl. light kyc. Newbies learn all they need through the installation process....

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...

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...

Introduce them to a local meet up and buy in person

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...

I take them to bitcoin ATM and demonstrate how they can buy it into their hot wallet in the phone.
Byzantine · 125w
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

Buy on exchange. Just do back-up physical an stored in an "important" setting. IE. Not papper in a desk drawr. Start with app and then move to hw.

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. Id send them this link on a way t...

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.

BTC Sessions Strike DCA to blue wallet while you learn about multisig. Im not saying this is the best or only way. As an in the last 2 year orange pill taker this was smooth ish. Finding my own way.

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...
Lucid · 125w
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 · 125w
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...

River or Strike to buy, Mk4 Cold Card, BTC sessions for set up tutorial
Ravi Doshi · 125w
I’d suggest they read: Parker Lewis’ Gradually Then Suddenly series. Buy BTC on Coinbase pro (not “retail”, so Lowe fees) Initially store on a hardware ledger, and then upgrade to multisig via a third party like unchained or casa.

When are you gonna start zapping us? For providing value, we all provided value to your question. And you didn't even zap us.
Larry Seyer · 125w
I would suggest they read the Bitcoin Standard. Then I would suggest they study the habits of long term Hodlrs. Lastly I would suggest a popular and safe exchange to purchase it and then immediately move it into cold storage via hardware wallet.
DontFeedTheHandThatBitesYou · 125w
For the non-technical? Unfortunately, still don't think we are there yet, so would either help them directly or refer them to another person who could. Possibly answering questions about tutorials they have attempted or read and struggled with, or more general questions about Bitcoins hard money p...

Find good YouTube videos via duckduckgo video tab, to avoid the annoying ads that override the volume, just etch in DDG

Strike and a non-custodial wallet such as Samourai for phone or Electrum for PC takes you a long way.
