In-Person Crypto Help · We Come To You

We'll sit beside you while you buy your first Bitcoin.

From zero to self-custody.

Because that first step is the hardest. A patient, trusted guide at your kitchen table, hand in hand through every screen - explaining everything in plain English, never telling you what to invest in. By the end, you'll buy, hold, and own cryptocurrency on your own terms. Your keys, your coins, nobody in between.

Founding-client rate £99 (usually £149) for our first 20 clients · further sessions £129/hour · education only

Four Steps, One Visit

Asked an AI how to buy Bitcoin, but want a human to walk you through it?

ChatGPT or Claude can list the steps. We sit next to you while you actually do them - so nothing gets clicked wrong, lost, or sent to a scammer. Four rungs, one visit:

01

Set up safely

Choose a reputable UK-available exchange, pass identity checks, and secure your account with proper two-factor authentication.

02

Buy your first coins

You press the buttons; we explain each one. Your money, your accounts, your decisions - we never touch either.

03

Own it all yourself

Self-custody is the heart of everything we teach: your wallet, your keys, your assets - held by you, not an exchange. We show you how, safely.

04

Spot the scams

Learn the tricks fraudsters play on beginners - fake support calls, phishing links, 'guaranteed returns' - before they find you.

Keren, founder of The Crypto Ladder
Meet your guide

I'm Keren. You'll be in safe hands.

I’ve spent years in the digital asset world, and my raison d'être is to help you reach financial freedom as it was intended and possible today. I started The Crypto Ladder because the people who most need help getting started - sensibly, safely, and without the jargon - are the very people the industry often ignores.

A Patient, Trusted Guide.

I believe your entry into this new financial frontier should be warm and entirely private. I come to your home, we go at your pace, and you keep your hands on the keyboard the whole time. Think of me as a mentor at your kitchen table, translating complex concepts into plain English and providing you with the know-how of the most advanced, modern solutions to keep you protected.

Empowerment Over Advice.

My goal is to be your bridge to confidence, not your investment advisor. I am here to teach you how to use the tools so that you aren't dependent on me or any other middleman. When I leave, everything is yours: your accounts, your wallet, and your keys.

Your coins, your freedom - and nobody in between.

DBS checked Education only - never advice
How visits work

How visits work

A simple, careful process - so you know exactly who's coming to your door, and we both start from trust.

Step 1

Free video call

A 15-minute video chat to meet each other - every client starts here, no exceptions.

Book a free call
Step 2

Book and confirm

Choose a daytime slot and secure it with a quick bank transfer - no card details to type, no cash on the day.

Step 3

The visit

We come to your home (or office / other venue of choice) for a relaxed 90-minute session, working at your pace on your own devices.

Worth knowing: we never hold, carry or have access to any cryptocurrency - yours or ours. Our guides carry no cash, no hardware and nothing of value, and all payments are by direct bank transfer straight to us - no card details, no cash, no one in between.

Guidance, not advice - that's a promise

What we do

We teach the technical steps: accounts, wallets, transfers, security. Think of us as a driving instructor for digital assets - we teach you to drive, we don't tell you where to go.

What we never do

We don't recommend investments, predict prices, manage money, or hold your funds or keys - ever. We are not a financial adviser and not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, because education doesn't need to be.

Why self-custody comes first

True ownership means nobody can freeze, lose or gamble away what's yours. That independence is the whole point of digital assets - and it's the destination of every session we run.

Thinking about trading?

Trading is a professional's game, and beginners who try it usually pay for the lesson. We don't teach it. If investing or trading is what you're after, we'll point you towards FCA-authorised professionals instead - and help you check the FCA register so you know they're the real thing.

The Crypto Ladder - From Zero to Self-Custody
What clients say

Real people, real first steps

I'd been curious about crypto for years but was too nervous to do anything about it. Having someone sit with me at my own table made all the difference. I now have my own wallet and actually understand how it works.

- M., Surrey

Keren was incredibly patient. I'm in my sixties and had never bought anything digital before. By the end of the session I had my own Bitcoin in my own wallet, and I knew exactly what I'd done and why.

- J., Manchester

My son gave me a gift voucher for my birthday - best present I've ever had. I went from complete beginner to having my own set-up in 90 minutes. No jargon, no pressure, just clear teaching.

- P., Edinburgh
Questions & answers

Frequently asked

Yes - that's us. The Crypto Ladder provides in-person crypto help across the UK through home visits. We guide first-time digital asset buyers through the technical steps face to face.
No, never. We provide technical education only. What you buy, how much, and when is entirely your decision. This is what keeps our service independent - and outside the scope of regulated financial advice.
No. Your hands stay on the keyboard at all times. We never take custody of funds, keys, passwords or recovery phrases, and we'll teach you why nobody else should either.
Then you're lucky - bring him to the session! But here's the difference. Family who "sort it out for you" usually end up holding your accounts and keys themselves, which means you own nothing and they carry everything. Our whole job is the opposite: you end up holding your own keys, understanding what you own. There's also the quiet truth that teaching means seeing - your balances, your savings, your decisions. Some things are easier with a discreet, DBS-checked professional than across the Sunday dinner table. Your family is always welcome in the room; the difference is who's in control when we leave: you.
Yes - a First Step Visit makes a wonderful gift for parents or grandparents who are curious about crypto but would never book for themselves. Email us and we'll arrange a voucher and a friendly introduction that doesn't feel like homework.
Not at all. We can visit further afield with a minimum booking of 5 sessions, which works well if you'd like to arrange visits for yourself, family, or a small group. Email us your postcode area and we'll talk through the options.
Because we're coming into your home - and you deserve to know exactly who's arriving before we do. The call lets us meet each other properly, plan the session around what you need, and make sure a visit is genuinely worth your money. Every client starts with one; there are no exceptions.
No - and that's deliberate. Trading against professionals is how beginners lose money, and we won't be part of that. Our mission is ownership: helping you buy and hold your assets in your own custody, safely. If you decide you want to invest or trade actively, we'll signpost you to FCA-authorised professionals and show you how to verify anyone on the FCA register before trusting them with a penny.
Complete beginners are exactly who we're for. No jargon, no assumptions, no rush. Most of our clients have never owned any digital asset before our visit.
