This is one of my biggest fears. As a result I use the supposedly not ok, security by obsecurity. (Along with other normal precautions) I don't tell people which Bitcoin wallet I recommend, I simply say "I don't tell people where I hide gold". Although not sure if I could survive devil's breath.

I prefer to use security by obesity. Meaning I won't get any Tinder dates so my accounts are safe.

You the man. Loughed out Loud.

But if you don't have the keys to move your money, it becomes a lot less useful as money. It's still like gold though, something that you have a sort of vault that you rarely visit.

If you got drugged and someone took your phone to do a bank transfer, I would imagine there would be some hope of reversing the transfer, with a whole lot of painful steps. With crypto it's pretty futile if they manage to move it.

Also the $5 wrench attack can evolve, right? Just because you have your keys in different places doesn't mean you can be coerced into getting them together.

"Not your keys, not your Crypto" is good advice, but I personally prefer to leave my wallet in the hands of a trusted large exchange like Gemini, Coinbase, or Kraken. Not only do they have better security than I do, they also have a whole slew of extra barriers in the event a malicious actor wants to drain my funds.

I can freeze withdrawals, whitelist specific addresses, and put time/wait barriers to all of these things.

Edit: I'm not recommending everyone do this. This is a personal risk-management calculation I have made based on my outlook.

What if any of those exchanges get hacked or exit?

If the money were in a bank or investment account, the worst this guy would have to deal with (in the US) is a little aggravation when getting the fraudulent transactions reversed. Personally I wouldn't reveal to strangers that I'm into crypto. It's like broadcasting the fact that you've got thousands of dollars of cash in your pocket.

Honestly I wouldn't put too much trust into a SEO blog article. A better title would be. "If you get drugged and use Casa, you will be able to save your money"

It’s fine to sell something in a blog post if you’re providing something of value in return. They are also pretty overt about the fact that they are selling something.

I’m not interested in the service in the slightest but I did get something from it. The read was somewhat entertaining and if I see a friend getting in a similar situation I will be quicker to warn them.

As far as SEO drivel goes, I see much worse than this dozens of times per day.

I suppose you can have a spend wallet and a net worth wallet.
