Why not

Because you just need to hold your keys. 🤙

I still have some on a paper wallet from the old days.

Good times 🤙

Remember to turn off Internet and stuff and generate your paper wallet offline 🙂

Perfect. You can use casino dices to generate your seed. 🤙

I just moved my mouse pointer around for like 30 seconds.

Your keys can be memorized, set in paper or metal and never touch a signing device/hww, it's true.

But how would you safely sign transactions using that knowledge if not through a device like this?

I'm not going to enter my private key into an Internet connected device in order to broadcast a transaction, that's for sure.

You can use an old computer/cell phone. But I still don't worry about that, once in cold storage my coins are frozen. I don't plan on moving them anytime soon. 🥶

For a people with the technical skills, there easy ways to protect your information in a cold storage fashion.

Remember when Ledger was hacked?

If I fail, I only want myself to blame.

I think so too, I am the only one responsible for myself.

You don't even need to be very technical for this. 🤙
