Protect Your Bitcoin Before It’s Too Late β€” Self-Custody Guide with Simon Dixon & Andreas Antonopoulos

Aug 15, 2025
 

Hey hey Bitcoin Wealth Builders,

As Bitcoin continues to eat the world, we’ve reached a fork in the road. A real tension is building as traditional financial players from the Proof-of-Weapons Network enter our ecosystem. They see Bitcoin as simple "number go up technology," a way to outperform the Fed. And while that's great, they are missing the true value of what Bitcoin was created for.

Bitcoin was designed as a tool to boycott and escape the corrupt banking system. It’s a way to own your money without a bank, spend it without government permission, and have a monetary policy that can't be manipulated by the central bankers who want to enslave the world in debt.

Because of this ideological divide, I’ve decided to fork the community. I will no longer spend my time on X Spaces hosted by people who are happy to make the institutions of the Proof-of-Weapons Network more powerful. I want to build a community—a tribe—of people who are aligned with Bitcoin’s original mission. People who want to use their money as a source for good and as a tool to fight oppression.

 

My Four Boycotts: A Declaration of Principles

If you want to join me on this mission, it starts with a declaration of principles. This is how we use Bitcoin to counter the war machine and reclaim our freedom. This is the ideology I want my community to be built upon:

  1. Boycott the Federal Reserve: By saving in Bitcoin, you opt out of the debt-based Ponzi scheme and protect your wealth from the inflation that funds the war machine.
  2. Boycott BlackRock: By owning your Bitcoin in self-custody, you remove it from the control of the giant asset managers who want you to hold it in their ETFs, making them even more powerful.
  3. Boycott the Banks: By accumulating enough Bitcoin that you don't need to borrow, you starve the banks of their power. Debt is the grease that runs the engine of the Proof-of-Weapons Network.
  4. Boycott the War Machine: By becoming conscious of how you spend your money, you can support local communities and decentralized systems, and defund the corporations that profit from crimes against humanity.

 

An Invitation to My Tribe: Free, Exclusive Training

To build this new community, I am going to do something I’ve never done before. I am going to start open-sourcing exclusive content that was previously only available to my high-end clients at Bnk to the Future. This is content from some of the most influential and OG figures in the Bitcoin movement, and I am going to make it available for free to anyone who wants to join my mission.

We are starting with the most important skill every Bitcoiner needs to learn.

 

Your First Step: Learn Self-Custody from a Legend

Your first job is to get off zero Bitcoin. Your second is to get that Bitcoin into self-custody. To help you on that journey, we are releasing a full training module created by a warrior in the Bitcoin movement and an OG that I first met over a decade ago: Andreas M. Antonopoulos.

A while ago, I commissioned Andreas to create this content for some of our biggest investors to teach them how to self-custody their Bitcoin properly. Now, I’m making it available to you. Learning this skill is essential, not just for Bitcoin, but for a future that will require you to manage your own decentralized identity, data, and AI.

 

Join the Movement & Get the Free Training

This is my call to action for you. If you are ready to join me on this mission—to build real, intergenerational FU money and use it to change the system—then I want you to be a part of my community.

To get immediate access to the full Andreas Antonopoulos self-custody training and all the future content I’ll be open-sourcing, you just need to join the BitcoinHardTalk membership portal. It’s completely free.
