Who is BTC Sessions?
Ben Perrin, better known as BTC Sessions, has built a reputation as Bitcoin's most reliable tutorial creator. While the crypto space is full of traders and speculators, Ben focuses on what actually matters: helping people take custody of their own Bitcoin safely.
His YouTube channel is a masterclass in Bitcoin self-custody. From setting up a Coldcard to configuring multisig with Sparrow Wallet, Ben breaks down complex security procedures into clear, followable steps. He tests the hardware himself, records the process in real time, and doesn't gloss over the tricky parts.
Based in Canada, Ben has been producing Bitcoin content since the early days and has become one of the most referenced educators in the hardware wallet space. Manufacturers regularly send him devices for review because his opinion carries weight with the community.
“Not your keys, not your coins. I'm here to make sure you know how to hold your own keys properly.”
