Bitcoin is not anonymous by default, so it is up to users to utilize available tools like Wasabi wallet to preserve their financial privacy. Those who do not learn these basic techniques run the risk of having their holdings and spending habits become available for anyone to browse through.There are firms currently out there like Chainalysis that are actively working to track bitcoin users and their activities. This episode of BTC Sessions is meant to give beginners a simple tutorial of how to use Wasabi wallet and execute coinjoin transactions in an effort to keep their sensitive data private.
The Coldcard Wallet enables Bitcoin users to have true cold storage and can be utilized with Wasabi Wallet and Electrum. This tutorial goes through setup, using the device with Wasabi wallet, and executing PBST’s (partially signed bitcoin transactions) for those of you that are extra security conscious.

Many people don't realize how important running a Bitcoin node is for your financial sovereignty. If you do not run a node (for ANY cryptocurrency) it means you are trusting someone else to validate every transaction for you, and convey that information to your correctly. Beyond this, you make big sacrifices with privacy by calling home and piggybacking on a node run by an external company or individual.
