We get into why paper — and the gel pen you wrote your seed words with — is the weakest link in your stack, why titanium, what's actually in the box, and James's arc from get-rich-quick Robinhood trader to \"it could drop 40% and I'm just buying more\" conviction. Then the cold-storage deep end: single-sig versus multisig, planning for your heirs, and the most creative hiding spot we've ever heard — a seed plate disguised as a rock, sunk in a backyard pond. No batteries. No firmware. No third-party trust. Just a titanium-sized post-it.
