When SHTF and governments start cracking down on all #bitcoin holders, labeling them as terrorists or "threats to democracy", how are you planning to get through airport security without your hardware wallet getting confiscated and be forced to surrender your sats?

Think about it. Carrying around a hardware wallet is like flashing a neon sign saying "I've got Bitcoin". Even SeedSigners have become too popular and obvious.

You can store your seedphrase in your mind instead, sure, but how are you going to spend your coins when you get where you're going? You need a strategy that:

1. Doesn't draw attention.

2. Is easy to carry around.

3. Can be quickly replaced.

My approach is to have a brain wallet and two GrapheneOS devices. One of the devices is offline-only, it just handles transaction signing (I call it my "GrapheneSigner"). The other device is internet-connected and will broadcast the transaction to the network.
