In this video, I teach you how to create a Bitcoin cold storage setup that can be used to thwart thieves.

You first set up a standard Bitcoin hardware wallet and add a small amount of money to it as a decoy.

You then create a hidden Bitcoin wallet using a passphrase on that same hardware wallet device. It is in this hidden wallet that you want to store the bulk of your Bitcoin savings.

That way, if a thief gets hold of your hardware wallet, he can steal the small amount from the standard wallet, and remain totally unaware of the larger amount that is hidden inside the passphrase version.

This may end up saving both your life and your Bitcoin, if the thief is satisfied to walk away with his winnings.

An even better solution is to use multi-sig cold storage to store large amounts of Bitcoin:
