>write down seed phrase from cold wallet on a piece of paper or stamp it into a metal card/sheet

It gets lost, thrown out, your neighbors house catches on fire leading to a housefire in your own house, you forgot where you put it, tornado/hurricane, etc.

How did you gloss over that? No matter how you spin it, its a huge security flaw. If a single point of failure is all it takes for you to lose everything, it's a shit system.

Thats the responsibility of the user to store the phrase in a safe place tho...

If you can't find a safe place to store your stuff then crypto is the least of your concerns

I mean if you're invested in physical gold I doubt you will "lose" it or store it in the open so why not treat your seed phrase the same way?

As for the fire you can use a stainless steel case if you're that paranoid lol

Alright, now try a hurricane hitting your town. What excuse are you going to come up with now? Just don't live in a place that gets hurricanes? Create a second copy of your catchphrase a million miles away?

Like I said:

>No matter what you do with crypto, cryptobros will always blame people instead of acknowledging the huge flaws in the system they advocate for.

No matter what precautions you take, even in a fire you guys come up with "just use stainless steel". You guys can sit and type out essays about all the problems with fiat and banks, but refuse to even acknowledge the most basic of flaws with crpyto.

>I mean if you're invested in physical gold

Cryptobros and the people who think investing in gold is smart are the same people.

Yeh..it seems like it doesn't matter what I reply with you will just come up with another imaginary scenario on why its not possible to safely store your crypto so its pointless to argue any further

I already acknowledged that there are flaws in crypto but keeping your crypto safe isn't one of them

A well diversified portfolio is a healthy portfolio that means holding cash along with gold/stocks/crypto/bonds & real-estate
