There is ancient wisdom in the idea of not putting all your eggs in one basket.  In this case, your  bitcoin are the eggs and where you store them is the basket.  \n\nThe Cold Card hack proves again to me that there is no ideal set up.  So many Monday morning quarterbacking this seem to be focused on how everyone should have rolled dice, used a paraphrase, used multisig, etc.   All that may be true but I’m gonna be the old non techie guy saying split your eggs into multiple baskets.  Put no more than 25% of your bitcoin in any one wallet no matter how good you think the security is.  \n\nIf you were fortunate (like I) to not have used a Cold Card, try to put yourself emotionally in that position.  How much better off would you feel if you were only trying to save 25% of your stack rather than everything?\n\nSoftware is not, and never will be perfect.  Every setup has a weak point and a different risk profile.  Our eggs are valuable.  Cold wallets, hot wallets, multi-sig, different vendors, and even some custodial bitcoin,  all have their place.  If it would hurt you badly to loose your eggs, consider multiple high quality baskets instead of just one.    Even though bitcoin is high tech we can still apply ancient wisdom to our actions.  Take care out there.  "}
