“Cold storage” just means your keys were never in contact with a system with access to the Internet afaik. Your Bitcoin is still on the blockchain, and the likelihood of the entire blockchain being wiped from millions of devices is slim. Your electronic devices (signers, wallets, smartphones, computers) are at risk though, but that depends on so much. My recommendation is to exercise caution: wrap your entire home in aluminum foil

Thanks for the reply. So your device with keys etc could be compromised in an electromagnet surge (storm, emp etc). So your bitcoin is still on the chain but you can’t prove custody ownership of it anymore? Is that right? If so it makes me think of another question. Next post do you could reply to this independently.
