Evergreen Safety

A Bitcoin wallet holds keys, not coins.

Your bitcoin lives on the network. Your wallet controls the private keys that can spend it. The safety job is to protect those keys, test your setup, and plan recovery before you store meaningful value.

Wallet Types

Choose the wallet for the amount, not the mood.

Hot wallet

Small balances and learning.

Useful for practice, but keys live on an internet-connected device.

Hardware wallet

Long-term savings.

Keeps signing keys offline and reduces phone or laptop malware risk.

Multisig

Large or shared holdings.

Uses multiple keys and locations, but setup and recovery planning are more complex.

Checklist

Minimum wallet safety rules.

Seed phrase

Write it offline. Never photograph, upload, type into websites, or share it with support.

Official downloads

Use official wallet websites and verify app store listings carefully.

Test transaction

Send a small amount first, then test recovery before moving more.

Backups

Store backups where theft, fire, flood, and forgetfulness are all considered.

Inheritance

Someone trusted should know there is a plan without having enough information to steal funds.

Upgrade path

Move from hot wallet to hardware wallet or multisig as value and complexity grow.
