About this book

“Not your keys, not your coins” is one of Bitcoin’s oldest rules: if an exchange holds the keys to your coins, it can freeze them, report them or lose them. Mt. Gox and FTX both collapsed with their customers’ funds inside.

Ortega explains how to hold Bitcoin yourself, and argues that self-custody is how ordinary savers escape hidden taxation and keep their wealth out of the state’s reach.
