If you're concerned you can literally print your crypto keys onto a piece of paper. Maybe encrypted with a passphrase. It might get stolen or lost but it's not getting hacked.

P.S. If you're really paranoid don't use a network-connected printer.

		how are you gonna use your paper keys when you want to spend some of your bitcoin? the private key has to touch a computer at some point.

I keep my money with traditional boring financial institutions instead of tech startup clowns so it's been very easy not to get hacked.

		Yeah apparently it's news in 2026 that banks can actually keep their assets secure in comparison to the web3 clown fiesta. Of course banks do get compromised but not anywhere close to this degree.
