So I finally made the leap to a hardware wallet and was pleased with how easy it was to setup.
Now my only concern is where and how to store my private keys. I understand that I need at least 2 geographic locations, but should I really trust a bank safe deposit box?
I'm a renter living in NYC so I don't like the idea of having a paper copy in my apartment.
I was thinking of using 3 different locations: my apartment, a bank safe deposit box, and self storage unit.
I know I'm not supposed to store the keys digitally, but what if I take my computer offline, create a file on an encrypted drive that is also offline and stays offline, and use that as one copy for my keys?
I would then keep this hard drive in my safe deposit box and storage unit. That way if anyone every gained access to the safe deposit box or storage unit (which happens all the time, several articles online explain how), then they wouldn't be able to access the files and see my private keys.
It just seems dangerous to keep a paper copy out of my control because of all the worst case scenario chances of someone finding it. Or am I just being too paranoid?
