Your keys, your bitcoin. Not your keys? Not your bitcoin.

The dangers of custodial accounts.
Key management.
Best practices for storing your 12-24 backup words.
There’s no “Bitcoin help desk.”
(In)Security of Windows machines. (just delete your Windows and install Linux)

This is part of a talk which took place on July 7th 2017 at a Bloktex event hosted by the Wisma BeeOn Group in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a technologist and serial entrepreneur who has become one of the most well-known and well-respected figures in bitcoin.

One more little known way to have a SAFE Place for your Bitcoin is to use Tails, make a permanent encrypted drive and create offline a Wallet and save your Keys.

Tails is a live operating system that you can start on almost any computer from a USB stick or a DVD.

It aims at preserving your privacy and anonymity, and helps you to:

use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship;
all connections to the Internet are forced to go through the Tor network;
leave no trace on the computer you are using unless you ask it explicitly;
use state-of-the-art cryptographic tools to encrypt your files, emails and instant messaging.
