Hey thanks for your replies. I heard a podcast regarding cold storage and that leads me to believe it's not a trivial topic to digest.
It's kindof funny really, the mix of info saying bitcoin "is easy" vs. "it's a deep topic". But then nothing unusual about that, typical of popular topics on the net these days.
It does therefore warrant caution, and to give myself plenty of time to discern and absorb the correct info from the fire hose stream.
