And I think one analogy I’ve heard is imagine you’ve got two houses, one house has 10 doors and 20 windows and the other house has only one door. That’s sort of like the goal of air gapping. If the device is not connected to the internet, even if the attacker knows that vulnerability exists, he’s not able to get in there remotely and retrieve whatever information he’s seeking. Now, what happens is say you have an unknown bug on a device. Things just have sort of degrees in each we defend against which attacks. Because imagine that, like, there is no perfect device, there is no device that’s like, doesn’t have any bugs that doesn’t have vulnerabilities that doesn’t have weak spots. Aside from power, and what that means is that it makes a lot harder for an attacker to have asynchronous means of retrieval of an attack. It’s like thinking of it as a moat of air around it. It’s just Bitcoin leverages this technique right? Of what it means is that you don’t have the device connected to the network. So like Air gapping computers in general is one of the best practices for keeping things secure, right? This is not a new thing, just because of Bitcoin. Everybody revisits their security and they should. Yeah, so surprisingly enough, there’s been a lot of discussions, even sort of like this last couple of weeks about this stuff. Now, and it’s a really interesting topic that has seemed to come up over the years is this question of air gapped computers versus hardware wallets.

And it’s obvious there are a lot of new people coming into the space and they’re all asking a lot of these questions around how to secure their Bitcoins.
