Came to my mind a question about how bitcoiners are doing their best practices in regards of their cold wallets.
You have a bunch of cold wallets. Hardware, paper, seed only, steganography, whatever other method it doesn't matter, is just for long term holding. I am not interested where you save. I am interested to see if you know how to hide and maintain them properly.

Questions: 
1. Do you use an extracted xpub from the cold wallet or simply fully open your wallet?

2. How often do you check the balance of a cold wallet using the xpub extracted prior?
- weekly
- monthly
- yearly
- never

3. Are you keeping all the time a "watch-only" wallet in specific apps, to deposit or just check the balance? Or are you import the xpub only to check or deposit?

4. Do you periodically rotate your UTXOs? What do I mean by that?
- create new wallets, with nee seed and move your old stash into new ones. Also creating many different size of UTXOs
- move from legacy or standard segwit to taproot type of addresses
- create multiple wallets from one wallet with large amount
- Why do you still keep that legacy wallet? Ask yourself.
- why do you keep all your stash in just one giant wallet?

If you do not want to answer these question, no problem.
I raise them only to make you think about them and how you have a good maintenance of your cold wallets.
Just think about and don't forget: read my guides.

I love to read. During my life I have read to educate myself in lots of different areas. But, I have also read some books just for sheer enjoyment. For me, some examples include all Richard Russo novels, High Fidelity, by Nick Hornby, and any of Hunter S Thompson's books. 

I'm wondering what other people on SN read just for the sheer joy of it?
