There's endless articles of corporate media over the last couple of years to navigate, generally covering the wording of all likely quick searches. The agenda is to make this issue either 'nothing to worry about' at worst, or completely indecipherable, at best, replacing medical science with 'the science' (see covid).
After considerable time looking into this subject I believe the hateful 8 seed oils should be COMPLETELY avoided.

Do holders want to move their 'secure enough' stacks though? 🤔
It's crucial to secure your #bitcoin seeds on metal. Putting your seed to metal ensures durability and longevity, protecting it from physical damage, fire, and water, and safeguarding your bitcoin.
Here are some best practices and tips on how to do that:
While there are many types of storage methods, I recommend a single center punched, stamped, or etched metal plate per seed. Center punched is the easiest with an automatic center punch. If you are making several plates, an automatic center punch with a palm rest will help.
When selecting a seed plate, ensure it is a high quality metal, at a minimum 304 stainless steel or better marine-grade 316L stainless steel. Titanium is also good. Lower grade metals have a higher chance of corrosion or melting.
Use one plate per seed. When multiple parts are involved, there is a higher chance of permanent loss of data if the parts are separated.
Unless you have a particular threat model, avoid seed plates that are too small. Smaller ones become more difficult to read and mark, not just for you but also loved ones (think inheritance). They are also easier to lose. Stick to a standard size.
Before handling your seed, check your environment. Make sure cameras are turned off, phones are put away and covered, window shutters closed, etc. This may seem extreme, and chances may be low, but you are protecting your wealth. Last think you want is compromising your seed.
Use a permanent marker to mark the seed before using the center punch or etching. Verify you have not made mistakes before marking. When marking, it is easy to mark the wrong letters for example mixing O and Q or N and M.
When you start the marking, stamping, etching, ensure marks do not remain on the surface, revealing data about your seed. Preferably, use an anvil. With the automatic center punch you don't need more than 2 punches per letter.
If you use a center punch with a hammer, start easy, chances are you will hit too hard a warp/mark the other side of the plate too. Stamping or etching can be also trickier to mark and read, though e.g. a physical guide can help position the stamp.
If you make an error, don't worry. Define a method and document it with your recovery process, e.g. add a second mark to the error square and then mark the correct square.
Side note: you should have your recovery process documented. I would recommend having a copy in encrypted notes and a printed copy with your inheritance plan. (see privacyguides.org)
For a hardware device, if new, I would recommend deleting the seed from the device, re-importing it using the seed plate, and ensuring the fingerprint matches. This acts as an additional verification that the seed is correct. Never scan or type your seed into an online device.
Label your seed. Don't use the fingerprint, it can reveal the use of a passphrase. Don't use the device name, the device can change e.g. upgrading to latest model.
If the seed was initially on paper before putting it to metal, burn the paper, there should be no traces of the seed left.
Place the seed in solid cardboard envelope. This so the surface and markings do not reveal any information. Then place it in a tamper evident bag.
Store the your seed plates in a secure location. This will get a post of it's own at some point 😅.
Conduct regular health checks. Every quarter inspect the tamper evident bag for signs of tampering, and every year unpack the plate and check it for signs of damage or corrosion, then repack (remember environment)

This new paper is a true declaration of war: the ECB claims that early #bitcoin adopters steal economic value from latecomers. I strongly believe authorities will use this luddite argument to enact harsh taxes or bans. Check 🧵 for why:
Rather than praising bitcoin as a tech paradigm shift à la petroleum and the internet, the authors introduce the blatantly luddite argument that "early adopters" ... "increase their real wealth and consumption" ... "at the expense of [latecomers]".
Then they go on to brazenly advocate for legislation ... "to prevent bitcoin prices from rising or to see bitcoin disappear altogether" in order to prevent "the division of society".
The authors also model some projections, to illustrate the paltry amount of BTC that will remain available for latecomers. (Woe is me! Conspicuously left out is the reason that has driven 15 years of bitcoin adoption & development: it's simply better tech.)
In all the years I've been monitoring the bitcoin space, this is by far the most aggressive paper to come from authorities. The gloves are off. It's clear that these central bank economists now see bitcoin as an existential threat, to be attacked with any means possible.
Many of us have warned that this was coming: bitcoin as a major political fault line both in national and international elections. Well here it is. It means that us HODLers must take action to insure that governments respect our basic right to hold property.
And no, this won't be a war between haves and have-nots. Rather this will be a historic clash between those who stand for the natural rights of the individual, and those who clutch at the failed ideologies of collectivism and central planning.
Here's the download link to the paper: "The distributional consequences of Bitcoin". (We need detailed rebuttals. Who's writing one?)
If I was reading this as Norman Nocoin, I would probably try and buy some, 'just in case it catches on'.
