Paper Wallet
A completely offline wallet where your private keys are printed on a piece of paper.
Paper wallets were popular early in crypto because they're 100% offline and immune to hacks. Today most people prefer hardware wallets, but paper is still a cheap cold-storage option if done right.It's like writing your most important password on a piece of paper and locking it in a real safe instead of saving it on your phone.
Real world: You generate a Bitcoin paper wallet offline, print the QR codes and keys, then store the paper in a fireproof safe.
💡 If you make a paper wallet, generate it on a clean computer, never take a photo, and store the paper like actual cash.
