Is it possible someone breaking in his house and find the seed written down?
AFAIK Luke uses Bitcoin Knots (fork of Bitcoin Core) as a wallet, it doesn't have seed phrases.

It's the same with Bitcoin Core. Knots is just Core with bunch of patches applied on top of it.

But for my very little understanding about it. Knots doesn't keep a tradicional seed where you have to write it down. Even if encrypted is online? And is not cold storage. 200 Bitcoin in a hot wallet, is that what we are doing here?

Bitcoin Core also does not implement BIP39, Knots is not different here. Normally your wallet is encrypted using AES, you decrypt it temporary to sign transactions. But it is hot wallet, yes. If your wallet file is stolen and pasphrase is weak or your machine is hacked, you will have bad time.
