Self-custody your Bitcoin

Take Control of Your Bitcoin: Start with BlueWallet

One of the biggest advantages of Bitcoin is the ability to own it directly — no banks, no custodians, no third parties. But to truly benefit from that freedom, you need to practice something called self-custody.

A great first step? Using a hot wallet like BlueWallet.

What Is a Hot Wallet?

A hot wallet is a type of Bitcoin wallet that stays connected to the internet, making it convenient for daily use. It’s perfect for beginners who want to experience self-custody without buying extra hardware. 

Why BlueWallet?

BlueWallet is a free, open-source Bitcoin wallet available on iOS and Android. It’s beginner-friendly, supports advanced features as you grow, and most importantly — you hold your own keys.

When you use BlueWallet, you’re the only one who can access your Bitcoin. No third-party logins, no exchange risk, no subscriptions.
