Is it though? If I hold wads of cash in my floorboards, you need to actually break in and take it.

If I hold something in a digital wallet, I can never be sure I've eliminated all the ways to take it remotely and anonymously.

You can print out a seed phrase and hold it under your floorboards as well, or better yet, memorize it. It takes up less space. You can split the phrase up and give it to a few trusted parties. You can do multi-sig. It's easier to transport, etc etc etc
