Getting started on solana

new to the crypto space? not sure how? or even why crypto?

before we show how to get started let us explain why we chose crypto.

one very real proven truth to all is if you exercise your rights against a government mandate you can find your bank account frozen. losing your ability to even buy food to survive! if you supported or opposed the freedom convoy shouldn't matter, it could be something that you may be passionate about next time and wished to exercise your rights to support it, they did it to them and will do it to you.

The government did attempt to go after crypto, they managed to on exchanges but not any in self custody (self custody is using your own software or hardware wallet). This is the method to keep out of government clutches. all you need is a software wallet on your pc or mobile device.

Software wallets are free and easy to install! as these are self custody you are 100% responsible for any transaction, so always check and recheck when sending or make sure any site you connect to is legit. please take some time to read over some guides we have linked below. One last thing, when you create a wallet you will be given a seed phrase. Usually 12 - 24 words, make sure to write these down and keep them safe! that is the only way you can recover your wallet should your device crash and need to reinstall. never share these words or enter them on some site pretending that is needed to help you, anyone that has those words will also be able to have complete control of your wallet.
