Have to disagree. Paper wallets are unsafe.

The process users go through to generate the private keys for paper wallets exposes it to so many attack vectors. Eg. you have to print it out, but your printer has memory that may store your private keys even after printing. Unless you are an information security expert, don't bother with paper wallets.

No. With a properly written walk-through anybody can safely make paper wallets. If you are afraid of printer hacks you can reboot your printer, or print something else afterwards or simply write down the private key from your screen with a pen (yes, I know it's error-prone, but it's OK at least for sake of example...).

Also you are greatly exaggerating. Your example is as good as telling the cars are unsafe because some idiots drive them blindfolded.

Like the others, I also advise paper wallets as being on almost the same safety level as hardware wallets. (Airgapped cold wallets are safer though.)
