    Paper wallets are one of the oldest forms of cold storage – you generate a public/private key pair offline, print it, and store the paper somewhere safe. No internet, no hacking risk. The downsides? Physical damage (fire, water), loss, and the hassle of “sweeping” the keys when you want to spend. This guide explains how paper wallets work, how to create them safely (offline, clean printer, BIP38 encryption), and the risks compared to hardware wallets. For large, long‑term savings, a hardware wallet might be easier and more durable. For a small backup or as a learning experiment, paper wallets can still work.
