Could you elaborate on the feasibility of storing bitcoins on a paper wallet? I've heard of this method but am not entirely sure how secure it is. What are the key advantages and disadvantages of using a paper wallet for Bitcoin storage? Is it suitable for long-term holding or should I consider other options? Additionally, how do I generate a paper wallet securely and ensure that my bitcoins remain safe from potential threats? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
