What are the advantages of using a cold storage wallet for long-term crypto storage?

» Wallets and Exchanges

Cold storage wallets are less vulnerable to online hacking attempts, securing your assets from digital theft.
They provide peace of mind with physical control over your cryptocurrencies, eliminating reliance on third-party services.
These wallets reduce the risk of losing assets to software malfunctions or data corruption that can affect hot wallets.

So, I've been thinking about putting some of my crypto in cold storage, especially the stuff I'm planning to hold long-term. Somehow I feel it's a safer option, but I don't know. Just wondering what advantages can one actually get from using a cold storage wallet for long-term crypto storage? It's been on my mind recently. Would appreciate any thoughts or experiences you guys are willing to share. Thanks in advance!

Have you considered how cold storage options might be less vulnerable to online hacking attacks or unauthorized access, given that they're not connected to the internet? And what about the potential trade-offs, like less convenience when you want to trade or access your funds quickly? How do you guys deal with that?

One thing you might want to keep in mind with cold storage is to ensure you have secure backups of your private keys. If you lose your keys, there's no way to recover your crypto. It might be worth considering using a safe or a security deposit box to store a physical copy of your keys. Also, have you thought about using a multisig wallet as an extra layer of security? It requires multiple signatures to confirm a transaction, which could be handy if you're worried about theft or loss. What do you folks think about incorporating those measures into your cold storage strategy?
