The best part about storing your crypto in a cold wallet long term is how it's worth dramatically less cash when you exchange back.

Yes, its value can change, but at least it doesn't just disappear because some other idiot made bad investments.

I don't know what you consider "long term", but if you asked anyone who stored their wealth in a cold wallet before 2020 they would be at worst, a couple % up right now. The vast majority would likely be up at least 100%.

These completely mindless dunks on crypto on HN are getting out of hand. You can say it's not scalable, or that it doesn't have a future for A, B, C reasons, or any other number of valid complaints. But instead they've devolved to the most degenerate falsehoods that can be disproven with a single look at the long term chart.
