While physical security like separate devices for storage and daily use is crucial, it's just one piece of the puzzle.  Imagine losing your phone with your Bitcoin wallet app, regardless of whether you're a target of street harassment.

The anecdote about the police questioning individuals about their Bitcoin holdings raises additional concerns.  In many jurisdictions, police require warrants for phone searches.  Imagine being stopped and pressured into revealing your financial information without legal justification.  This underscores the importance of knowing your rights.

A holistic approach to Bitcoin security is essential.  Physical separation of devices, strong passwords, and awareness of cyber threats are all important.  Additionally, understanding your rights regarding phone searches and data privacy is crucial, especially in areas with uncertain legal frameworks around cryptocurrency.
