I've searched this subreddit for ideas and I've come across a few that almost seem right for me but not quite so I figured I'd ask this question again.
My situation:
I travel for work, sometimes internationally, sometimes for short turnarounds.
Slightly paranoid about security, I'm aware that my tech skill is not at a level where I'd feel secure figuring this out on my own.
I like to trade but don't trust exchanges to keep any more than a fraction of my funds. Not my keys not my coin right? Dodged a bullet with Quadriga I'm not going to test my luck like that.
I thought about taking a HW wallet with me but these days even the janitor has heard of bitcoin, I can't afford to deal with delays answering stupid questions and being searched because I run into the 1 guy/gal that recognizes what it is and has stupid assumptions about why I own it.
Don't trust hot wallets, I dont think I can trust the same phone I use to look at porn on my lonely work trips with access to my BTC lol.
I thought about memorizing my seed, wiping HW wallet, FedEx, restore on location. This seems ok, the risk being a fuckup with shipping or my employer switching locations on me next day and I fly elsewhere. Not sure if that can be dealt with at FedEx or whatever. I don't like the idea of potentially not having access to my BTC for days or longer, new ledger nano is like a week from France.
I do travel with a laptop. If I had a seperate boot partition on there I'd keep clean and offline for everything but BTC transactions I should be relatively safe to restore a wallet on there or no?
Or do I just give up my hobby because I do have to work and feed myself and I'm too stupid to "be my own bank" ? 🙂
