No shiny gadgets needed. You take an old device, factory-reset it offline, keep it without SIM, WiFi, or Bluetooth. No accounts, no sync. Use a strong passcode, never biometrics. \n\nRemove every app you can, even system apps when possible, stripping the device down to the core.\n\nThat’s where you keep your long-term funds. For daily spending, use separate wallets on other devices. Just like you don’t walk into a supermarket with all your life savings in your pocket, you shouldn’t do it digitally either.\n\nSafety measures:\n\n• Permanently turned off, radios disabled at the system level.\n• You only turn it on in controlled environments\n• You only connect online when you need to, using a VPN and your own secure Wi-Fi. \n• No need to scan QR codes, sign transactions offline and then connect to execute them online.\n• Handwritten seed backup, stored in two separate physical locations. Extra: you can reverse the order of some of the words of the seed and leave yourself a coded reminder that you have done so.\n• Periodic checks of battery health and storage\n• Fixed location, no lending the device, no unnecessary handling\n• A small metal box for physical protection and humidity control\n• Never install new apps, and if major changes are needed, rebuild the setup from scratch\n\nA cold vault for your real wealth. A normal phone for your daily life. That separation is what keeps you safe."}
