I know hindsight is 20/20, but with a wallet that valuable, it would have been prudent to split that into smaller encrypted wallets of, say, $1000 apiece, and only mount what was necessary (partition the external HD).


Or just use one of the many devices built for offline cold storage (Trezor, etc).


Or move the majority of it to an index fund. Keeping bitcoin in a wallet on your computer is like burying cash in your back yard.


800 coins in BTC vs $64 in a fund...

Sort of misses the point when BTC was going from $0.08 a coin to $1000 a coin.

Most index funds don't offer a $64 to $800,000 trajectory even over 5 years.
