We know how important self-custody is - but with all these recent data breach and draining incidents, everyone is revising how to store their crypto safely

curious to know what are you planning moving forward?

with everything happening lately, people have started being so skeptical about self-custody and i want to take make this post as a reminder for all of us about why we shifted to self-custody in the first place

what was that specific moment - an exchange freezing withdrawals, watching one collapse, a friend losing access to something, or just reading one thing that made the whole "not your keys" line land properly

Everyone knows the advice: steel plate, multiple locations, never digital

I'm interested in what people actually do, because I suspect there's a large gap

Specifically:

- Paper, metal, or something else?
- One location or several? How far apart?
- Does anyone else know where it is, or does it die with you?
- Have you ever actually tested a restore, or is it theoretical?
