I always read about public keys,private keys and speedphrases that you need to store them in a paper wallet or hardware wallet. The only thing I ever stored are the passphrases (those 12 or 24 words) I get from metamask or other wallet provider in the beginning of creating a wallet. Is this enough when I write them down and secure them?

    for some reason i dont like hardware wallets too, the following is “my way” to store my eth:

    i did a fresh windows install and only downloaded metamask, nothing else, wrote down the address and the seed phrase and gave my metamask a password ( wrote the seed phrase and password on 20 pieces of paper and hid it here in my house in the cellar ) and turned off the computer and took out the hard drive

    after that i did send my eth to the address

    and there it is now ( 2 years from now ) until i need to access it again, but im a hodler, when the time comes (5 years maybe or more ) i will do a fresh install of windows again, install MM again and transfer my eth to an exchange of my choosing and change it to fiat then
