How To Get a Secure Bitcoin Wallet: Blockstream Green Wallet Tutorial

In this video, Bitcoin educator Anita Posch demonstrates how to get, install, and safely set up a software Bitcoin wallet. Here, she uses Green Wallet by Blockstream, a non-custodial wallet that lets you take control of your coins without relying on any third-parties.

The Green Wallet gives you access to your mnemonic seed, which is a 24-word phrase that you need to write down on a sheet of paper or other durable material, and take good care of it. Never make a screenshot, or store it on your computer or your phone.
