Your crypto has no next of kin.
A plain-English, eight-step plan, in short video lessons, so the people you trust can reach your crypto if something happens to you, and nobody else can.
Instant access · Works with any wallet or exchange · You never share a single secret with us
Self-custody fixed one problem and created another.
No bank can freeze your crypto. But there's also no branch, no account holder's name and no process for your family. If the only person who knows where the keys are can no longer explain it, the crypto is still there, visible to everyone and usable by no one.
That isn't rare. Analysts, including Chainalysis, estimate that between 2.3 and 3.7 million bitcoin are lost or stranded, up to a sixth of all there will ever be.
Too hidden
So well protected that nobody else can ever reach it. The most common way families lose crypto.
Too exposed
Seed phrases in a will, a shared document or an email. More people can reach it than you ever intended.
A good plan lives in the narrow space between. And "emergency" doesn't only mean death. A hospital stay is far more likely, and your plan needs to work then too.
Eight steps. A few evenings. Done properly.
Each step is one short video lesson with a printable reading companion, ending with a clear "Do this now". Most people finish in two or three evenings.
Know what you hold
List every wallet, exchange and app, plus the email and phone number each one depends on.
Secure the keys properly
Get the foundations right first, including how card wallets like Tangem simplify emergency access.
Draw your access map
Where every piece is and who holds it, split so no single person or place has everything.
Choose your people
Executor, technical helper, key holders and attorney, and the one short conversation each needs.
Write the letter
A step-by-step guide in your words, for someone reading it on the worst day of their year.
Add the legal layer
Wills, powers of attorney and tax, with international guidance and dedicated UK notes.
Run a fire drill
Thirty minutes that prove the plan works while you're still here to fix it, with a full walkthrough.

The kit records where things are and who holds them. Never the secrets.
You fill it in by hand, on paper, offline. We never see your wallets, your codes or your plan. Nothing you write ever touches our servers.
Less than a meal out. Once.
Dedicated inheritance services commonly charge around $250 a year. Text-only guides cost about the same as this kit, but leave the templates, the people and the testing to you. This kit walks you through every step on video, for one payment.

Before you ask.
Do I need a particular wallet?
No. The kit works with any hardware wallet, software wallet or exchange account. We explain why card wallets like Tangem make emergency access simpler, but nothing in the kit depends on one.
Will you ever see my seed phrase, codes or plan?
Never. You fill the kit in by hand, on paper, offline. The golden rule runs through every lesson: record where things are and who holds them, never the secrets themselves. The check-ins only ever ask for numbers or roles.
I'm not in the UK. Is this still for me?
Yes. The eight steps work anywhere. The legal step gives international guidance, with a separate page of UK notes for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
I'm a beginner. Will I keep up?
Yes. Every lesson is in plain English, there's a glossary, and each step ends with one short, specific action. If you hold any crypto at all, this is for you.
How long does it take?
About 40 minutes of video in total, in lessons of three to five minutes. Most people finish the eight steps in two or three evenings, plus a thirty-minute fire drill.
Is this legal or financial advice?
No. It's general education that helps you build a practical plan and ask better questions. For wills, powers of attorney and larger or cross-border estates, speak to a qualified professional.
How do I access it?
Straight after you pay, you'll get an email telling you where to start. If you're new to The Cryptonian, a second email with your login arrives too. The course sits in your account at members.thecryptonian.net, on any phone, tablet or computer.
Is the price in pounds or dollars?
US dollars. Your bank converts it automatically at checkout.
What's your refund policy?
Access is instant and the files are downloadable, so all sales are final once access has been granted. If you haven't accessed anything and think you've been charged in error, email [email protected] within 7 days of purchase. This doesn't affect your statutory rights.
You've built something worth protecting. Finish the job.
A written, tested plan is the difference between your family inheriting your crypto and your crypto simply sitting there, forever.
