WALLET SETUP

Follow @BTCSessions on YouTube for excellent tutorials on wallet set-up, and lots more.

When setting up your wallet, be sure to write down the 12- or 24-word Seed Phrase on paper.

Keep it offline. Never take a screenshot of it.

STORE THE SEED PHRASE VERY SAFELY.

VERY, VERY SAFELY!

Many companies make metal seed plates into which you can punch your seed phrase for added fire/water/damage protection. Highly recommend!

If you were to lose access to your hot or cold wallet, you can restore it with the seed phrase and recover your funds.

You can do so on any wallet that supports the same type of BIP39 seed phrase (12/24 words).

Best practice would be to store the wallet descriptor of your wallet in addition to your seed.

REMEMBER: Anyone who has your seed has access to your bitcoin!
