How do you separate your everyday Bitcoin setup from long-term storage?

[noorman0]

I don't actually have a dedicated wallet for daily spending, but if I had to, and considering P2P is still too expensive in terms of fees and the underlying price, my best option would probably be using a CEX keeping the weekly average under $50, since my country prohibits using cryptocurrency for transactions. (yep, this applies specifically to my situation).
For long-term storage, I still use a cold wallet, along with Electrum as a "watch-only" wallet.

I dont do "daily spending" and hence I dont have a "hot wallet" because there is nowhere around me
where I can spend Bitcoin on incidentals. I am happy to use my FIAT for that and keep my Bitcoin
for long term. If something does come up where i need to spend Bitcoin its never urgent enough that
it has to happen instantaneously.

i think I have a simple system which is secure, and based on hardware wallet. My thinking is if I over
complicate things I will mess up at some point and leave my security possibly compromised.

Likewise with yours but mine I do have a hardware wallet for a long term hodling if the funds are just use for next halving cycle of the bitcoin and next is I had my multiple hot wallets depends with the transaction such as having a Metamask for the Ethereum network, Electrum for the bitcoin wallet and even have the Phantom for the Solana network I do active into different crypto engagement so while in the bear market I had an opportunity to still earn even small amount.
Then have small amount in CEX for an swing trade for sniping new coins to make future trading so basically even long term still must need to diversity the assets.

I do have hot wallet on my smartphone and that's for everyday spending not for holding Bitcoin.
Cold storages also defers, I hope you know this, ColdCard should be an example for you.

Actually, hot wallets have purpose of spending and only for small fund but it's not likely to do every day spending. I really don't think that we are at a phase of making cryptocurrency transactions for payments too often like daily.

If you use your hot wallets for swaps on DEX, perhaps you will make on chain transactions with your hot wallets more regularly. Otherwise, if hot wallets are only for spending, payment, I barely make transactions and daily is not what I usually do.

Better add some Passphrase to your recovery seed to make it even more stronger, it's a good idea to keep your crypto devices away from the internet

Be very careful with passphrase, if you don't know what to do, and don't backup your passphrase correctly and store it safely, you will lose your bitcoin because you will never be able to access your wallet later.

You can't just create passphrase and implement on your existing recovery seed, you will need to verify that it's actually working my writing down the new address, and they proceed to uninstall the wallet or format your hardware wallet, then import the recovery seed + passphrase to see what happens, you should get the same wallet address that you wrote down if you do things the right way.

Anyone who claimed to have lost their coins because of Passphrase did something wrong, they must have misplaced a word or something, even a space between two alphabet makes a difference, and I believe this is the point why passphrase is a good security enhancement on its own.

We have different ways separating Bitcoin for regular use and long-term storage. You do a good thing separating your daily activities and not mix it so the chance to get scam could be reduce. I am also separate my regular use of Bitcoin and for long term saving. I don't touch that amount if the time is not comes. I rarely connect my wallet for long term saving very often to the Internet to prevent any bad thing occurs.

If you are being professional enough in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, you will understand why you should not have your crypto asset on a single wallet, many are taking extra steps to ensure that they are using more than two wallets for security safety, in case one of the wallet got compromised, not all their asset will be vanished away just like that without having a remedy to fall back at.

I think it's not a serious or professional matter to split owned Bitcoin into several wallets. It's more about awareness for anyone who wants to invest and try to be safer. OP seems to have tried ways to better secure the Bitcoin they own. But we have to keep in mind, it's not just about considering the possibility of hacking. We also have to think about the mistakes we could make, like losing access to our wallet or having our recovery seeds online.
