Start your bitcoin journey

For beginners or small amounts, start with Blue Wallet, a user-friendly mobile app that's convenient for daily use while still being very secure for smaller holdings.

When your Bitcoin stack grows larger, we recommend upgrading to Jade hardware wallet for maximum security with offline storage, protecting your long-term savings.

When writing down your seed phrase, ensure complete privacy - no cameras, computers, or people nearby. Write on paper or engrave on metal for durability against fire and water damage.

Consider using tamper-evident bags to detect if anyone has accessed your backup. Store copies in two separate secure locations like a home safe and safety deposit box to protect against disasters. Never photograph, type, or store your seed phrase digitally.

Take your time and double-check every word for accuracy.

Now it's time to start transacting and confirm everything works correctly. Sign up to Bitcoin Well and buy a small amount of bitcoin, then send it to your new wallet to test receiving.

Next, send that bitcoin back to verify your wallet can send transactions properly (you can sell it back on Bitcoin Well or send to another wallet).

For the ultimate security test, delete your wallet and restore it using your stored seed phrase to confirm you wrote it down correctly.

Once you've successfully completed this cycle - buy, receive, send, and restore - you'll know your wallet is properly set up and your keys are safely stored.

You're now ready to begin your bitcoin journey with confidence.
