I think Didi’s approach is both cautious and realistic. When you decide to live entirely on Bitcoin, security naturally becomes more complex. Splitting the seed across multiple continents and mixing analog with digital storage shows he understands that physical attacks are just as dangerous as digital ones.
However, no system is ever 100% secure. The key lesson here is operational security (OpSec) — keeping a low profile, limiting exposure, and never revealing more than necessary.
For regular Bitcoin users, we might not need such an extreme setup, but it’s a good reminder that self-custody also comes with self-responsibility. Protecting privacy and minimizing traceable patterns are just as important as storing sats safely.
I agree with you, and I do think that no matter what amount of BTC you have, you need to stay vigilant toward it and how you hodl it / use it too.
There are many cases of both digital / physical problems that may arise once you expose yourself enough on the space and overall, so it's better to think about it from the start rather when it (may) hits you.
