Paper Wallet vs Desktop Wallet and security?

[keithers]

In my humble opinion, I don't see any upside to having a paper wallet versus using a hardware wallet. I emphatically agree that one should never keep more than spending money in a hot wallet, or coins that you plan on trading on an exchange, but paper can very easily deteriorate or get lost or destroyed. That's why I'm a firm believer in hardware cold storage wallets.
