Hi!
Paper burns, ink dries.
What do you think is the best way to store bitcoins on a paper wallet?
Engraving in metal?

engraving a metal is good but it is hard and not everybody can do it without proper equipment.

the best way that I have found to work for me is simply printing the private keys on a good piece of paper and then laminating it. you can also encrypt the keys with a password so nobody can read them by looking at the paper. make 2 copies and store in different places. and if you have an extremely large amount of bitcoin you can even store the paper wallet in a safety deposit box in a secure bank.

Sounds nice!

How can I encrypt the keys with a password?

If you do use a password (or use a salt with a pass phrase) - make damn sure there is still a way for family to retrieve the funds if a meteorite hits you in the head tomorrow.
