We're all aware of the risks of keeping our coins on online wallets and exchange wallets, but many of us still keep our coins on our own devices.

Are we keeping our devices secure? Its instinctual to not leave your fiat money wallet unattended in a public place but what about your bitcoin wallet? Are you leaving leaving the laptop you're writing your novel on the table at Starbucks when you go the bathroom? The laptop with your electrum wallet, your life savings.

Where does the line between paranoia and reasonable physical security meet?

even though we keep the coin on a personal device, we should still give it extra security. Even if you also keep password records in one device that is the same as your digital assets, of course, I hope you are not that stupid by giving detailed passwords in one note. The best security is deception and also a layered padlock. That's what I think.
