I made a paper wallet for my son and I deposit a smaller amount of Bitcoins there every month. I kept it in a secret place that only me and another person knows.
Yes the intention was great but do you think for everything that have passed Bitcoin will last forever? I dont think so, so for me a better way to save money is to save yes of course but in terms of you your local currency which is more secure than Bitcoins, its just about a spectancy that Bitcoin will not last forever because of the continuous drop of the price.
