Crypto Changes Lives

Bitcoin

WE ARE GOING TO SHOW WHY AND HOW 

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT

The internet changed the world

It allowed information to be shared globally.

Easily. Quickly.

Blockchain technology (and cryptocurrency) is doing the same thing

But for finance.

At its core, a blockchain is like a public, unchangeable spreadsheet

Everyone has access

Always

Every financial transaction is logged into a block of data, 

Once that block is full, its added to a chain of prior blocks of data

A “blockchain”

The blockchain is a permanent record of all financial transactions

It can’t be changed

It exists (and is maintained) on computers all around the world at the same time

To change it, they all need to agree

This is the concept of decentralization

No one person (or company) is in control of the financial system

No one person (or company) can manipulate it

You don’t need to trust that someone keeps accurate records

You verify it personally

In crypto you don’t trust, you verify

Crypto assets can be sent anywhere in the world

Instantly

At near zero cost.

Bitcoin was the first crypto asset, and it functions now as a store of value

“Digital Gold”

Ethereum was the first blockchain with advanced financial applications

It has driven the rise of “Decentralized Finance”

“DeFi”

The future of finance is digital

It’s time to take advantage of that future

At Coast we will teach you

About Money

About DeFi

About PulseChain

It’s time to take control of your money

To open your eyes

Most people aren’t paying attention

This is your chance to get ahead

PulseChain is one of the best opportunities in Crypto

Bitcoin is 16 years old

Ethereum is 10 years old

PulseChain is 2 years old

It’s newer and it’s better.

Early investors in Bitcoin and Ethereum changed their lives

That’s why we’re in Crypto

That’s why we’re in PulseChain

At Coast we help you get to PulseChain

And maximize the coins in YOUR pocket

Can you also buy BTC and ETH with us?

Sure

First, let’s talk about some history.

Then, we’ll talk about PulseChain

and the opportunity that awaits.

In 2008, the world was in financial chaos.

Banks were failing.

Trust was broken.

It was the global financial crisis

A mysterious figure named Satoshi Nakamoto released a whitepaper:

Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.”

It introduced a radical idea:

Digital money. 

No bank. No central authority. No need to trust anyone.

Bitcoin launched in 2009.

This wasn’t just a new technology.

It was an escape from the old financial system.

It replaced middlemen with mathematics.

So how did it actually work?

Bitcoin runs on a network of computers called “Nodes”

Together, they keep a public record of every transaction:

The blockchain. No single company. No central bank.

Just a global, open ledger. 

Anyone can participate.

Early bitcoin investors are up more than 100 MILLION %. 

Imagine that.

 

Ethereum

Bitcoin changed everything.

It’s simple technology, with a great purpose

Ethereum launched in 2015

And it innovated blockchain

Ethereum introduced ‘Smart Contracts’

Hard-coded programs that run within the blockchain

Also without middlemen

Have you heard of NFTs? 

DeFi applications?

Memecoins?

Tokens?

All thanks to Ethereum

Ethereum turned the blockchain…

From a financial ledger

Into a virtual machine

Early investors are up over a MILLION %.

Not bad

 

PulseChain is a Unique Opportunity

PULSECHAIN, PLS, PLSX & HEX: A NEW FRONTIER IN DEFI

PulseChain is a faster, cheaper, and more scalable version of Ethereum — built to solve its biggest problems.

It’s newer, but gaining traction. 

You’re early.

The 3 core assets on PulseChain are:

PLS: The native token of the network

PLSX: The native token of PulseX – the most-liquid exchange on PulseChain

HEX: An innovative store of value token with passive income

What sets it apart?

PulseChain isn’t just technically advanced — it has legal clarity.

In 2025, PulseChain, PulseX, and HEX were ruled as not security.

This is extremely rare.

Many crypto projects have been taken to court, almost no one wins.

Pulsechain won.

Regulatory clarity is huge.

 

The opportunity is now.

In a rush?

US customers using Old Glory Bank can get onto PulseChain in less than a minute.


Why Coast Uses Decentralized Exchanges On Pulsechain

When building Coast, we made a deliberate choice

To build the product we wanted to use

To support real DeFi: 

All crypto purchases run via decentralized exchanges (DEXs),
instead of centralized ones.

This is real innovation. No one else is doing this.

DEXs are different to the exchanges you might be used to.

Let us explain

Centralized exchanges (CEXs) like Binance or Coinbase are more like a bank,
than a real crypto platform

You hand over your funds and personal information, and hold your crypto
on your behalf. 

That’s convenient — until it isn’t. 

Remember “Not your keys, not your coins” ?

CEXs can be hacked, go bankrupt (like FTX), or block your withdrawals
without warning. 

With centralized exchanges, you’re not in control. 

DEXs are different.

Instead of connecting to a company, you connect to other people

DEXs enable real crypto – they are trustless, permissionless, and user-controlled. 

When you use a DEX (like PulseX), you stay in full control. 

No middlemen, no lockups, no risk of losing access due to a frozen
account or platform collapse. 

Just people exchanging value with other people.

Coast was built for people who want direct access to DeFi on PulseChain. 

You get self-custody from day one, and your funds go where you want.


We can’t control them


We don’t want to


We put you in control

This is the future.

How-To Quick Links

Still Unsure How To Buy?

We’ve got you, just follow these steps:

1. Log In and Connect Wallet:

Log into your Coast account.

Connect your wallet to the platform.

Go to the Buy/Sell tab on the left-hand margin, and ensure Buy is selected.

 

2. Enter Amount to Buy:

In the “You Pay” box, enter the amount of USD you’d like to spend.

Don’t worry if the “You Receive” box initially shows 0. Click the Check Price button to fetch pricing data.

 

3. Check Price:

The Check Price button queries liquidity pools on PulseChain for pricing.

Once the price is available, the button will update to show how many tokens you can purchase and the “You Receive” box will populate with the amount.

 

4. Click Buy:

After reviewing the details, click Buy to initiate the purchase.

A pop-up will appear with the message “Buy initiated,” and your order will be marked as pending.

Please note that these orders aren’t instant, as several on-chain transactions happen in the background. Typically, transactions take 4-8 minutes to process

 

5. Transaction Completion:

After the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, the purchased tokens will be sent directly to your connected wallet.

You will see a Confirmed status for both the Trade and Send transactions at the bottom of the page.

 

Troubleshooting Failed Transactions:

If the transaction fails, it may be due to PulseChain network congestion. You can reach out to customer support via the Intercom button in the bottom-right corner for assistance.


Essential Security Tips

SECURITY TIP 1: CHOOSE YOUR WALLET

The first security decision you’ll make is how you store your crypto.

This means choosing between a hot wallet or a cold wallet.

Hot wallets are software wallets connected to the internet.

Think browser extensions like MetaMask or mobile apps like Trust Wallet.

They’re easy to use and ideal for day-to-day transactions, but they’re more exposed, like carrying cash in your pocket.

Cold wallets (also called hardware wallets) are physical devices, like a Ledger or Trezor, that keep your keys offline.

They’re not connected to the internet unless you plug them in, which makes them incredibly secure.

Cold wallets are perfect for long-term storage or larger amounts.

Think of them like a vault.

New users often start with a hot wallet for convenience, but if you’re serious about crypto, investing in a cold wallet is one of the smartest moves you can make.

SECURITY TIP 2: NEVER SHARE YOUR SEED PHRASE

When you set up a crypto wallet, you’re given a seed phrase.

A seed phrase is a sequence of 12 or 24 random words.

This phrase is your master key. 

Lose it, and your funds are gone forever. 

Share it, and someone else can drain your wallet, no questions asked.

Here’s what to do:

  • Write your seed phrase down by hand. Don’t store it on your phone, computer, or in the cloud.
  • Keep multiple copies in safe places — like a locked drawer, fireproof safe, or safety deposit box.
  • For higher security, consider engraving it into metal using a backup tool designed for crypto users.

Remember: no legitimate company or person will ever need your seed phrase.

If someone asks, it’s a scam. Always.

SECURITY TIP 3: CHECK BEFORE YOU CLICK

Crypto scams don’t need to hack your wallet.

They just need you to click the wrong link or sign the wrong transaction.

Here’s how to stay safe:

Never connect your wallet to random websites.
Always verify the URL. Bookmark official sites.

Be wary of fake airdrops, phishing emails, and impersonators on social media. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

Before approving any transaction, read what your wallet is actually asking you to sign. Malicious contracts can drain your wallet with a single signature.

Avoid downloading wallet apps or browser extensions from third-party sites. Always go through official sources.

If you’re unsure about a site or token, check it on services like CoinGecko, Etherscan, or community forums before engaging.

SECURITY TIP 4: USE A CRYPTO-ONLY DEVICE

If you’re investing more than pocket change, consider using a separate laptop or device just for crypto. 

This device should be:

  • Freshly set up (factory reset)
  • Not used for casual browsing, emails, or downloads
  • Protected with a strong password and anti-malware software.

This adds a powerful layer of separation between your everyday digital life and your crypto activity, keeping your assets isolated from common online threats.

SECURITY TIP 5: KEEP IT SIMPLE AND CONSISTENT

Crypto security doesn’t have to be complex. In fact, simplicity is security.

The most common mistakes come from users forgetting how their setup works, misplacing seed phrases, or using overly complicated systems they can’t maintain.

Stick to these principles:

  • Use wallets and tools you understand.
  • Document your process in a private, physical location (e.g., how to access your cold wallet).
  • Set calendar reminders to check backups or test wallet access.

Regularly update your knowledge. The threat landscape evolves, and so should your habits.

THE BOTTOM LINE: PROTECT FIRST, TRADE SECOND

Before you even think about yield farming, NFTs, or swapping tokens — lock in your foundation.

Crypto is empowering, but it’s also unforgiving.

If you lose your funds, there’s no phone number to call.

However, if you take the right precautions, the freedom and security you gain is unmatched by any traditional system.

Take your time.

Learn your tools.

Always remember: in crypto, you are your own bank — so protect your vault like it matters.


The 10 Unbreakable Rules

1. You don’t really own your crypto unless it’s in your own wallet.

Leaving it on an exchange is convenient — until it disappears. Always move your assets to a wallet you control.

2. Write down your recovery (seed) phrase and keep it safe.

This is your master key. If you lose it, you lose everything. Don’t store it on your phone or computer. Ever.

3. Don’t click random links or approve things you don’t understand.

Most people lose money by clicking something too quickly. Always double-check websites and tokens.

4. If something has already “gone to the moon,” you’re probably too late.

Buying just because the price is spiking usually ends badly. Be patient — the next opportunity always comes.

5. Start small and get comfortable.

Use Coast to buy a little, test how it works, and get used to your wallet. You can always do more later.

6. Scams are everywhere.

 No one is giving away free crypto. No influencer is secretly messaging you with a “hot tip.” If it feels dodgy, it is.

7. Coast makes it easy — but you still have to protect yourself.

 We’ve removed the hard parts, but you’re still responsible for your wallet and choices. That’s how self-custody works.

8. Crypto prices go up and down — a lot.

That’s normal. If you’re constantly checking prices, take a step back. Zoom out and think long-term.

9. Never invest more than you’re willing to lose.

This space is exciting, but it’s still risky. Only use money you can afford to be without for a while.

10. There are no do-overs.

If you send funds to the wrong address, they’re gone. There’s no help desk. Be careful — and take your time.
