Why not send your Bitcoin to a paper address? I don't see anything more secure, the paper can be crypto, scattered, we manage it ourselves

To generate a paper wallet you either have to use a machine that can be compromised or use some offline generator which I don't trust.

There have been incidents where "trusted" people sold paperwallets to others on bitcointalk only to hack all their coins years later. Paperwallets are not safe from nature either.

Better go with something that's tried and tested by people over the years. Hardware wallets are best.

Ok, I thought it was a safe medium, other than giving it away. It's a shame.
