I agree with you that the learning curve for bitcoin self custody can be intimidating.
Two weeks ago I published a book that aims to make the process of learning and practicing how to do self custody easier, and less anxiety-provoking:
Bitcoin, Hands On! 28 “learn-by-doing” exercises to master the basics of managing your own Bitcoin, including wallets, transactions, and self custody
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4SZSCH8
I wrote the book because self custody with bitcoin can be very challenging. The combination of unfamiliar software and technology--along with the knowledge that a mistake could cause you to lose your nest egg--often leads to either analysis paralysis, or the decision to keep bitcoin on an exchange or an ETF.
I'd be happy to send a free copy - contact me at feedback@BitcoinHandsOn.com
marking "verify the software" as extra credit is not cool

Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for actually looking at the book!
I thought about making it an actual exercise instead of "extra credit", but doing all these exercises is a big ask for almost everybody that's not already deep into bitcoin/tech. I want to make this accessible. People struggle and get confused even on far simpler steps.
I should probably consider mentioning the "verify the software" step in the last section, when I talk about making a more permanent wallet (the one they work on in the book is meant as a temporary practice wallet, with small amounts).
Please let me know if you have more comments!
