Do you know what you really need to use bitcoin?
Nothing.
Zero cost.
Not a hardware wallet, nothing.
Get an old phone from the drawer or the trash. Reset it to factory settings.
Download blue wallet, it's free and open source.
Create a wallet. Write down the seed words on a piece of paper.
Withdraw your sats to that wallet. When confirmed, delete blue wallet and secure the piece of paper.
That's it. Cost, zero, or 20 euros for the phone and a piece of paper.
You're done. You don't need anything else, no hardware wallets, no lightning hats, no conferences, no books, nothing.
