Questions

Common concerns

Does CustodySchool ever have access to my Bitcoin?

No. Never. Sessions are video calls where you perform every step on your own devices. Your seed phrase is never shared, never typed where anyone else can see it, and never requested. Only open-source, verifiable tools are recommended.

What is counterparty risk with Bitcoin?

Exchanges, ETFs, and brokers can freeze, get hacked, or collapse. FTX, Celsius, and Mt. Gox are real examples. Every day your Bitcoin stays with a third party, it faces risks you cannot control.

What does "not your keys, not your coins" mean?

Without self-custody, you hold an IOU, not actual Bitcoin. Whether on an exchange, in an ETF, or with a broker, true ownership requires holding your own private keys. No third party can freeze or lose them on your behalf.

Is self-custody complicated to set up?

It can feel technical: seed phrases, hardware wallets, multisig setups. That's exactly why private 1:1 guidance exists. By the end of our sessions you'll be fully in control, with every step verified.

Does CustodySchool work with people who hold a Bitcoin ETF?

Yes. Whether your Bitcoin is on an exchange, in an ETF, or with a broker, we can help you understand the risks and move step-by-step toward holding your own keys.

How can my family access my Bitcoin if something happens to me?

Without a proper plan, your family may be completely unable to access your Bitcoin. Inheritance and recovery planning is a core part of the consulting work.

How much does consulting cost?

The initial 30-minute assessment is completely free. Every package is a fixed, one-time price quoted on that call before you commit to anything. You never pay a percentage of your holdings, and there are no subscriptions.

Can I pay in Bitcoin?

Yes. Bitcoin is accepted on-chain and via Lightning. Regular payment works too.

Still have questions? Book a call. The first 30 minutes are free.
