Most Bitcoin losses come from simple mistakes, not hackers. Three rules keep you safe:
1. You hold the keys
“Not your keys, not your coins.” A wallet where only you control the recovery phrase is the only kind that’s truly yours.
2. Never share your recovery phrase
No support agent, no “giveaway”, no course will ever need it. Anyone asking is a scammer. South Africa has seen a wave of these.
3. Test small first
Send R50 worth, confirm it arrives, then move the rest. The course covers wallet setup click-by-click.
