Step 1 / 3

The Sovereignty Checklist

Done

Rate yourself honestly on each item:

Keys & Custody

I hold my own private keys (not on an exchange)
My seed phrase is backed up on paper, stored safely
I've tested or verified my backup works
I use hot wallet for spending, cold for savings

Security

I never share my seed phrase with anyone
I verify addresses before sending large amounts
I use official apps and download sources only
I understand common scams and avoid them

Verification

I understand how Bitcoin works (blocks, keys, supply)
I can explain Bitcoin to a friend in simple terms
(Advanced) I run my own node or plan to

Payments

I can send and receive on-chain bitcoin
(Bonus) I use Lightning for small payments

Mindset

I think in long-term time horizons (years, not days)
I don't panic sell on price drops
I continue learning beyond this course
