When it comes to Bitcoin hardware wallets, Coldcard is the best.

This is a product I personally use, and a product I recommend to others as well. For many people who are new to Bitcoin, setting up a Coldcard can be a scary and intimidating process. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Setup is actually rather simple and takes less than an hour.

In this article, I’ll detail the basics of what you’ll need to buy to complete your setup. We’ll look at setup details in later guides.

Let’s talk about what you need to buy to quickly and securely set up your Coldcard Wallet.
