Those comments about EMPs and power outages causing loss of crypto wallets do not understand the fundamentals of the block chain. I have a hardware wallet for my crypto - but I don’t really need it to protect my investments. The value is in the trustless electronic ledgers all over the world. No single EMP attack will wipe out BTC. I hold the private key in my brain - a 24 word pass phrase no one else has (except my trusted family members). My crypto investments are many times more secure than physical assets. I do have some crypto tokens that can be exchanged real gold (held in a vault in London). This token is PAXG if you want to hold gold on the blockchain.

I admit it—I don’t understand crypto.

I don’t want to understand it, just don’t like the smell of it.

My sense of smell never lets me down.
