The bearer instruments:
Bolt Card (this is an NFC-enabled debit card) that you can connect to your non-custodial Lightning Wallets. If your wallet doesn't offer support yet, be patient, it's coming. It levers LNURL specification from the Lightning Network, so you can use it OFFLINE without your phone or an internet connection. You can program spend limits etcetera with it. These are pretty cheap, great for travel, and will be a hit in poorer countries. We'll probably see a million of these cards pop up from different vendors over the next couple years really driving the price down further. Here's a kid using one:

Offline.cash This is another offline option that puts bitcoin into physical cash. It levers all the magic of NFC and multisig in the background without the need for you to do anything. Notta. Oh yeah, you do have to do something if you want to send it over the network and not just use it as a bearer instrument (which you can technically do forever). It has to be cut in half. One time use that way. Personally, I can't wait to get stacks of this shit. Maybe it's nostalgia, or maybe it's because I believe physical bearer instruments with BTC are highly useful for gifting, selling or buying bitcoin face-to-face using Bisq, or selling/buying goods and services where the internet doesn't exist. Too, why would any rapper be flashing depreciating Benjamins and not this appreciating power? I mean c'mon. I want 2PAC faced bills, Hannibal Barca, put Truman Capote and Catherine dé Midici there too. Satoshi obviously on the biggest.
Yeah but where's PAC? Time to send this company an email.
OpenDime. Another bearer instrument. No NFC this time. You'll have plug this little thumb drive in to verify its funds. They are made to some very tough specifications and are probably the coolest looking bearer instruments in the world. Very cypherpunk. Very futuristic, like the first time you see immersion mining. You have to physically break it in order to send the funds. But again, you can also just use permanently as a bearer instrument or collateral.
The wallet
Coldcard. This is a bitcoin-only device with an absurd amount of functionality. Most won't use more than the basics, but one of the hidden functions is called CK-Bunker. This allows you to turn the thing into a hot wallet, without any of the security concerns of a hot wallet. Obviously you'll have to have basic CLI skills and Tor familiarity, but some organizations use this with incredible effect. It's a travel hack for myself and a boon for some people living under regimes with world-class hackers nearby, like the Palestinians. Otherwise the other best feature is the Duress PIN. This PIN leads to a real bitcoin wallet, just not your real wallet with all the funds. This is great for low-level wrench attacks of course but is actually more important for state-level wrenches. Such as a judge compelling you to provide access to the device or face contempt. Or an unscrupulous border guard looking to retire early. From divorces to drugs, you'll want a duress PIN. You can get real nasty with this too and use the duress wallet to create a story via transactions that leads wherever you'd like it to.
Couldn't help it. Setup was begging for a picture
An unnecessary perversion:
I don't understand why these cases are so popular. They make no sense. This is something Richard Heart might carry around while twerking.
