My question is about btc.
Some wallets generates one public address from one pk ; needs to send them all in one transaction [with many inputs] to one address. Some other wallets, i observ one seed phrase that generates many public addresses all referred to one balance. Would anyone please explain those differences and if this is the same with other altoin wallets.
Correct me if am wrong in some details.


A seed phrase type wallet represents many private keys.  Each private key is still represented by only one public key.

It's easy to do, but probably not THAT easy to do in a secure manner. To make a paper wallet in a secure manner, you need to take extra safety precautions to ensure that the private keys aren't exposed. But yea, hardware wallets are the way to go for the typical non tech savvy person in my opinion.

Agreed, paper wallets are only as secure as the equipment used to make them.  An offline computer, and offline printer (with no integral memory) are needed to create secure paper wallets.  Then you need to keep them safe from fire or water damage.  I prefer using Bip39 seed wallets, which are easy to set up as watch only in Electrum.  But again, the wallet is only as safe as your seed.

Like others have mentioned the safest and easiest wallet for a newbie is a hardware wallet.  The new Trezor looks super cool.

1. Buy Low
2. Sell High
3. Repeat

Actually, I knew those things going in, but it's easier said than done.
