I’m a Bitcoin pleb who finally mustered enough courage to exchange a decent amount of fiat into Bitcoin. Is Coldcard the “gold standard” for a cold wallet or should I look at others? Also, I guess I should get a safe for storing my seed — is that what everyone does? I read https://werunbtc.com/coldcard

1. I personally recommend devices by companies that do not split their engineering and QA effort across hundreds of shitcoins...so ColdCard is a great option there. They are bitcoin only.

2. I think more important than a safe would be a passphrase to go along with your seed phrase. Keeping your passphrase separate from your seed is a good way to approximate other multi-factor scenarios without much of the complication.

3. Consider getting a steel plate to preserve your seed phrase through time and the elements.

4. This probably wont be the last device you buy, nor the last seed you generate. Secure elements become outmoded, or you may want to try multisig.
