Anyone know of a simple way to store bitcoin on paper or digital that won’t depend on a specific app being available in 10 years?

write down your address and private key.

you only have access to your private key if your wallet is not on an exchange.

choose a date that's significant for you as well as a stock ticker. lookup the closing price of that stock on that date. That's your password, and you'll probably never forget it unless you have Alzheimers.
