What Is Bitcoin Cold Storage?
What is Bitcoin cold storage? When you picture a Bitcoin cold storage, you may see a modern, cutting-edge fridge hidden somewhere in a top-secret bunker. However, Bitcoin cold wallets, much to the disappointment of some, are mere paper notes, things or devices that are kept offline. They take the form of hardware wallets, paper wallets, USB sticks, encrypted data storage devices, and even physical bearer items. The fundamental rule for a wallet to classify as a Bitcoin cold storage is the capability to store Bitcoin private keys and keep it offline so that one can steal it over the internet.

Just a Crypto Theory
Plans for a self sustaining economy are already at work. With the implementation of Crypto Currency as a main source of income being the goal of the future.

Part I: Blockchain's bright side.
In this digital column, I will dedicate myself to covering the trends of FINTECH (and tech in general), blockchain, politics, economics, and other topics that arise around what my passion is: Writing about individual liberties. This is why I open my personal column with a series of two articles where I expose the good and bad of Blockchain technology. From there, I’d drift into all kinds of political and economic topics. I warn that in no article I am teaching or giving advice on investment, I am simply covering and commenting on what happens around these technologies/policies around them. Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) have been sold as a panacea to be exported from their revolutionary use as a medium of exchange of value (The way you exchange a USD) or savings in the form of digital assets not fixed by a centralized system, such as the current monetary system; this system is subject to the monetary and fiscal policy of each nation; to be the new operating standard in traditional companies, brought about by the advent of Blockchain and crypto. According to many, Blockchain and DLTs were going to modify, just as Big data has changed the game in terms marketing; where the expenses of a campaign are no longer based on mere product placement in a crowded place (subway, bus stops de micro / buses) or in the best located fence on an avenue or highway, but in the analysis of consumer behavior through tools such as the funnel. This has not been the case with blockchain in the corporate world where the years go by and other technologies such as AI, big data and the cloud continue to gallop, but DLT lags behind; which I'll cover in more detail in the next article in this series.
