Now that you have bitcoin, you are becoming a high value target. Against you stand bad people - dishonest bankers, phony taxmen, kidnappers, extortionists, finger-cutters. On your side - a strong community, skills, techniques and tools. Let's explore the landscape of physical risk and how to not become an easy target. If you're unarmed, carry a GLOK.

If you're new to Bitcoin and want to protect what you've worked hard to earn, this is the session that will show you how to take full control—safely and confidently.
