It doesn't matter how big a crypto wallet company is, they can act stupidly at any time and it takes your smart sense to shun their stupid idea or trust the stupid idea and later pay for it.

Beginners listen, even if a crypto wallet is the first on the best list of wallets out there, the moment they make a stupid upgrade available like what Trust Wallet did, just know that they have downgraded themselves.

Recently I recommended Trust Wallet for someone to use, thankfully he reached out to me about which backup should he use. I told him to just write down his recovery seed and keep it, but I was curious why he asked which backup because I never expected Trust Wallet to have more than one backup.

I asked him what other backup was available, and he said " Google Drive" I at first thought he got the wrong Trust wallet, and asked where he downloaded the wallet from, but he dropped me the official link, so I headed into my Trust wallet which has used for some while now, and it asks me to update to the latest version then I saw that they have added an option to backup using "Google Drive".

This is stupid and unnecessary, if this beginner never asked questions I think he would have felt easier to just use the Google Drive backup instead, why they made this stupid option available is what I can't figure out, it is one of the easiest ways to lose your cryptocurrencies.




It is advisable to avoid using this option if you ever come across one in any crypto wallet you plan to use or the one you are already using, say no to cloud storage, they are easier to get compromised and all you will get is sorry from them, your crypto assets are safer by writing down your recovery seed in a private and offline way.
