Cold storage isn't risk-free, but neither are ETFs. Dan Held says Bitcoin holders should hedge against both hacked wallets and government seizures "My recommendation would probably be to mimic what I do, but a percentage of it. Maybe you buy IBIT, and then you buy spot Bitcoin and move it from Kraken or Coinbase to your cold storage solution. Buy both."

But basically, with a snap of a finger, a government can seize these assets as well." "So that could happen and will likely happen in the future. Who knows how this all plays out? But the US did seize gold at some point. There is precedent for this one." "So basically, you want to protect yourself against multiple scenarios."
