Get a non-custodial wallet: This is where you start to believe you really have Bitcoin, but it is still not perfect. A non-custodial wallet (like BlueWallet) is one of the slow types of Bitcoin wallets (on-chain) but this is where I think you, as a inquisitive mind, should start. Others will start with lightning wallets so they can buy beer right away. BlueWalllet has you create a "wallet" and gives you "seed words" to write down and keep safe. This is private. Do not take pictures of it, screenshots of it, and do not save it to a digital file. Paper is really easy and there's no risk of undiscovered malware being able to see what you write on paper. You'll very quickly learn the lingo: "wallet", "addresses", "utxo", etc. When you receive funds, the wallet will show you your balance like Coinbase does, but it will also show you a "transaction id". This, you can use to check that your transaction is real by checking a blockchain explorer like "https://mempool.space" or "https://bitcoinexplorer.org/". You are now able to check multiple sources, increasing your belief that the Bitcoin is real.

- Bitcoinexplorer.org https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer (lang: nodejs, db: none) I would like to prioritize practical issues such as displaying fees and general ease of use for viewing transaction details, these are the topics of discussion. I am looking forward to your opinions.

I'm not aware of a desktop explorer, but it probably wouldn't be as advanced as something like https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer

BitcoinExplorer — https://bitcoinexplorer.org/

It depends what you're running. Raspiblitz, for example, allows you to use btc rpc explorer (https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer) and mempool (https://github.com/mempool/mempool) quite easily.

It's complicated. The more steps you take to obfuscate your transaction, the harder it will be for an adversary to track your coins. You can look into using something like the JoinMarket Wallet to keep your transaction more private.

You can use coinjoin services like joinmarket to anonymize your coins. You can also send them through a lightning swap.

This is a bitcoin service delivered in a low trust manner where the bitcoin user need only utilize software they run and control for the services and can protect themselves from malicious third parties with very little trust or consequence from peers. This is the gold standard of Bitcoin service. Examples include lightning routing, lightning liquidity marketplaces like pool, coinjoins like joinmarket, coinswaps, submarine swaps like loop and others.

If you want to play with OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, you can use the wallet in JoinMarket to create a fidelity bond. Be careful, though, because it's absolutely impossible to spend such a bond until its expiration.
