Canadian Bitcoin Self-Custody Checklist

Holding your own Bitcoin means you keep the keys, not a platform. This free two-page checklist walks through it calmly, one step at a time: choosing a wallet, writing down your recovery phrase, testing a small amount first and keeping your backup safe. It is educational only. No hype, no price predictions.
