Where Is My Bitcoin Actually Stored? (Hardware Wallets, etc)

In this video, I discuss where your Bitcoin actually resides when you put it on a hardware wallet.

Your hardware wallet holds your private key, not the actual Bitcoin itself, which is really just a number on the public blockchain.

I also discuss private keys, and recovery seeds, and how you can use them to protect your Bitcoin and achieve your own monetary sovereignty.

"Not your keys, not your coins." If you do not hold your Bitcoin private key, then you do not control your own Bitcoin. That is why I never leave my Bitcoin at Coinbase, and why I don't like GBTC or Robinhood's BTC.

I am not being paid or otherwise compensated by either Coinbase or Trezor. I have no affiliation with either of them, except as a happy customer. Actually not totally happy, since Coinbase customer support is terrible, but it's true for all of the other crypto exchanges as well.
