Back in my day when we made wallets on air-blocked computers, that had the single purpose of just generating wallets.

Not sure if I would trust hardware wallets//online wallets in the same way.

The other benefit to this is if you misplace a wallet, and find it years later it’s like finding cash in your dress pants you don’t really wear all the time.

There were also some who accidentally threw their old computers / hard drives away.

I found some BTC change on a backup drive. Said change was now worth a few hundred dollars. Was neat!
