And how are you going to spend/generate it? Offline wallet I suppose, for maximum security.

Everyone says paper wallets are the safest but they don't consider the generation and the spending process which exposes it to threats and once its spent, a new paper wallet will have to be generated. Hardware wallets are the closest you can get while balancing convenience and security.

My article said it was only for cold storage, with an offline and formatted computer. But when it comes to spending, it isn't less convenient if you appreciate 100% control.

Example:
You have 100 btc.
You generate 20 addresses (with keys of course).
You transfer 5 btc to each address.
When you spend, you take out only 1 of the 20 addresses for use.
You spend only 5 btc and everyone knows you have at least 5 btc only (instead of 100 btc, because your addresses aren't a bunch of change addresses that reshuffle your 100 btc with every transaction).
If you get the $5 wrench attack, you can pretend you have only another 5 btc address (just as when you pretend you have only the dummy wallet with your hardware wallet).
If you want to cover the trace of your 5 btc, you use washers.

How can you do all the above with hardware wallet, satisfactorily?
