The family, known for all-in on Bitcoin in 2017, now hides some of their private keys on four continents. In an interview with CNBC, Taihuttu he said Now he uses a hybrid approach instead of relying only on hardware wallets.
Taihuttu told CNBC that the family changed everything. “Even if someone was holding me in a crosshairs, I can’t give them more than what is on my wallet or phone. And that’s not much,” he said.

Keys divided, encrypted and stored all over the world
The phrase of the seeds of the family is encrypted and divided into four parts. Taihuttu said it was stored using services based on blockchain and fire -resistant metal metal plates. The plates are then hidden in physical locations around the world, which allows the family to eliminate potential failure points in the security system.
Taihuttu added a layer of personal encryption to further strengthen the configuration, modifying some words in the expression of seeds, making them useless without the right context.
The family lives a nomadic lifestyle, traveling all over the world to promote bitcoins. Due to the growing threat to Taihuttu cryptographic owners, he said that the family no longer publishes updates in real time about their location on the Internet after receiving threats from people who followed them by means of social media.
Taihuttu said that about 65% of family assets are currently stored in the radiator as part of the modern security model. Their sizzling wallets regarding trade and expenses are protected by means of multisignature protocols.
