Why do you care what happen after you are gone?
If they are not capable to obtain voluntarily the BTC from you meanwhile you are alive, that means they do not deserve them.

I still have an offline setup that I use regularly. But my main use case is for when I leave this world. No one in my family would be able to understand my setup and recover anything.

I know people that use a HW but then they store the seeds of the HW in a book on their desk, or in the notes application of their phone. I've seen it with my own eyes.

I mean that meanwhile some others are buying a lot of HW, I will stack more sats, not buying them.
There are many methods to secure your wallets, without any expensive HW.
But yes, require some basic knowledge of software and simple steps to do.

Yeah people love to buy these fancy toys, to feel more secure and create complicated multisigs for what? To keep 1BTC or not even that?

Multisig with multiple HW is necessary only when you a big company with multiple people accessing the company funds. But for a single user is over-complicating things for absolutely nothing.

Example here:

Please take the BTC if you can.

> if you want to use those HW, go ahead... more sats for me

I guess, I can find answer to the obvious follow up *how* question in your posts, but could you perhaps explain what do you mean?

IMHO is too much paranoia with these HW.
Use the 3 levels stash method and your hodl stash is absolutely secure.
I had in the past some HW but I gave them away to noobs. Not useful for me at all.

But if you want to use those HW, go ahead... more sats for me.

I need to stop buying wallets

Need.. probably not. Since 2014ish, I've always signed txs from an air gapped device (outside of lightning's hot wallet).
