Bitcoin without self-custody is not Bitcoin

Bitcoin without self-custody is not Bitcoin. At Bitcoin Journey, we won’t stop until everyone can self-custody confidently and safely. It’s not about how big or small your stack is, it’s about owning something that cannot be debased or confiscated. It’s about freedom. That’s why we’ve launched our Self-Custody Group Workshops for the Queenstown community in NZ. Each session is limited to 5 participants to ensure a personalized experience, where they will learn how to: • Generate their own private key using an open-source hardware wallet • Send, receive, and store Bitcoin with confidence • Manage UTXOs • Understand network fees • Protect their privacy • Using the Lightning Network We couldn’t be prouder of this milestone, it brings us one step closer to our vision of empowering more people through simple, accurate, affordable and sustainable Bitcoin education.

The #Bitcoin rabbit hole has no limit. It never stops surprising me how, even after so many years, you can still uncover new and profound realizations. The latest one: unlike fiat, Bitcoin cannot be destroyed. Fiat money can be burned, deleted, or erased from existence. Why? Because it costs nothing to create. Bitcoins, just like energy, cannot be destroyed, only transformed. Many bitcoins have become inaccessible because their private keys were lost, but their existence on the blockchain will always remain. They cannot be “deleted”. Once those bitcoins come into existence, their creation can’t be undone, they become part of the immutable ledger.
