My friend's been a buddy of mine for sometime now, and he's actually the one who introduced me to #bitcoin years ago. However, I was surprised to find out he's been holding his bitcoin on Coinbase all this time.
I've delved pretty deep since then, so it was interesting to see that he wasn't familiar with concepts like "cold storage".
I ended up spending about an hour on the phone with him, explaining things and showing him how to use tools like mempool to track his transactions on the blockchain.
It was a bit of a challenge guiding him through it over the phone, but he got through it.
The whole experience just drove home how early we still are in all this. I'm glad he's now taken control of his bitcoin and is no longer relying on Coinbase.

quoting note17q2…9zeqJust helped my friend set up his cold wallet (Jade) and move his #bitcoin away from his Coinbase account.
Now, he needs to join #nostr.
