Absolutely!
So if you’re reviewing every 2-3 years and acting accordingly you’ll be fine
If you want to create storage for your unborn grandchildren that will survive half a century without intervention you’ll need a different approach
Seed words/passphrases punched into stainless steel washers or plates are about as durable and lowtech as it gets i think
Lopp has excellent reviews of seed storage devices against acid, fire and pressure tests - good proxies for time
Very much depends upon timeframe Lyn:
If you’re looking to safely secure over a handful of years, hardware wallets are a good option and there are many to choose from
I contend they are a poor choice for long term (decades or generations) because hardware devices *and their interfaces* are notoriously short lived
If bitcoin had been around when i started in IT, the most secure storage was archive-quality mag-tape. Step back just a decade, and the best was likely CD/DVDs .. now think about the last two computers you acquired - does either have a DVD drive?
What about SD card readers? They were popular for a while and many computers included slots for them - today, not so much.
Core point is that todays hardware wallet, may be difficult to access in a decade or two simply because tech and interfaces evolve. As a recent example consider the new iPhone which has now finally switched to a standard USB-C port instead of the apple proprietary one.
So for short/medium term, hardware wallets are useful as signing devices, but never to be relied upon for long term security.
IMO, for that longer term security you must store the seed and passphrases on very low-tech solutions.
The various flavours of federal agents were shown to have acted illegally and unlawfully, and these claims - *especially* the one relating to having hired people to commit murder - were completely debunked at trial. Vanity Fair, along with many other outlets at the time were happy to make coin out of the allegations, but funnily enough, didn't then follow up with clarifications from what emerged from the trial. A sad travesty.

.. ah yeah .. belay that .. PEBKAC error .. ordered :-)
Congratulations Lyn - been patiently waiting for this :-)
Excited to see this too but disappointed zero availability in Australia on Amazon for hardback and softcover; any other sites we can buy direct from .. pay with sats maybe?
It’s what *should* have led to that if the manifest moral hazards hadn’t materialised in the endless wave of bail outs
Thanks for that link- great track
