Topic: Ask yourself again if your Private Keys and Life are safe or not. (Read 352 times)

It has been said over and over again in this forum that your seed phrase back up should be stored in three different location far from each other. Just like the flood at Maiduiguri , it didn't affect Lagos or River state which means that it is only your seed phrase in Maiduguri that will be lost and you can get your other backups to access your wallet.

The reason behind this is that, natural disaster cannot happen in all the stats in a country at the same time, otherwise all most all the citizens would be affected. As for the internet, it would be fixed later and that shouldn't be a problem. The first thing anyone that finds himself in such disaster should do is to rescue himself and his phone first before any other thing because the rest would be taken care of if you have your seed phrase backed up in different location.

In regards to the issue of considering our wallet passphrase and secrets, I will suggest we look for somebody we trust and tell them our passkeys and passphrases. I said this because our life is not in our hands. Nobody is praying for bad things to happen but life can be uncertain in regards to this, that's why it is good for us to look for somebody we can trust and hand over the details of our Bitcoin wallets Incase anything happens.
Remember if you die it is over and if nobody has access to your assets it will be bad and a wasted effort.
So I suggest we look for somebody we can trust and tell them our codes, keys and passphrases.

However, I think back up means to be backup. Just because you are expected to back up something doesn't mean one had to throw away or be careless about the origin. As you protect your seed phrase in another location, so is your responsibility to safe keep this particular one in your hand.m, the back is just to give you hope incase it got stolen or not found so that we don't have to cry later in this kind of unfortunate situation. Lets all he safe this raining season.

The essence for creating this thread is for us to ask ourself again on how prepared we are for the worst to happened, also, its time that we begin to review on the kind of environment that we live in, ensuring not to be riverine area or close to dam, because the latter rains are falling heavily and causing flooding in so many countries now.

Why not ask yourself this, if you're in Maiduguri or Bangladesh to experience flood like these.

What could have happened to your seed phrase backup material or location, mobile device and computers,  internet device and connectivity, not to talk of your own personal life and safety.

Natural disasters na one thing wey I dey fear like die because I dun see how e destroyed people life and their savings vanished for people wey been invested so much into landed properties.
Na why diversification into different sectors dey always good as an Investor because you no fit know the fate of the world and how things go be in the coming years.

For this matter of keeping our private key safe, most other better methods no dey very achievable to us but one thing I dey tell people wey I dey teach crypto na say, writing down on paper na the surest way but now you get to think of natural disasters and the most common to us na flood therefore, laminating the paper to make am water proof na the best thing to do.

If flood happens, your private keys go still dey safe for your house. If you get money you fit add safe for house join and keep your sensitive information inside incase of fire outbreak and the rest, Yes them get fire resistant safe them.

After flood, there's another one though it's not a type of a natural disaster but it could take the form of a natural disaster and that's Fire ( it could take the form of natural disaster when it accompanied by storm most times e.g  Fire whirl,Fire storms, hurricane-fire e.tc). Fire is common everywhere but as a natural disaster, it's not common in Nigeria.

Thus, if we will be thinking of Paper as a safe method we should also consider Fire too and keeping it in a fire resistance material will be a nice idea could be like a safe. There's no actual perfect method though, but it's good to always look into different possibilities too.

I watched a clip of the flooding in Maiduguri, the water level was as high as 6ft that some persons had to climb to the roof top of buildings for safety and the thought that came to my mind was if this had happened to where I'm, what would be fate of my backups.

I think the flooding disaster is a wakeup call to some of us who stores our seed phrase on a piece of paper to have multiple backups elsewhere incase something like this happens, we won't lose our funds, or better still, get a metallic plate.

The incident that happened on the 9th of September 2023 in Maiduguri Nigeria caused me to think more deeply on human safety, that are we even safe at all in some cases, or if an uncertainty happened unexpectedly, are we preparing for a (plan B) to serves as rescue in case of natural disaster occurrence, with the ways on how we save our cryptocurrency private keys (seed phrase), i think its time that we begin to look into so many things we overlooked as before now.

Quickly, i will like to remind us concerning the experience in Bangladesh as flood destroy and displace many lives and properties over there https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2024/8/28/i-have-lost-everything-bangladesh-floods-strand-1-24m-families those affected in didn't planned or expect to see such happened, but they almost lost everything including their lives.

Recently in Nigeria, Alo Dam in Maiduguri also break out due to overflow as a result of heavy rainfall and some also said that this was as a result of other dams linking to the said Alo dam being released because of overflooding which they avoided and caused the break out of Alo Dam in Maiduguri Nigeria

I got your various opinions and expressions towards this as well as how we felt and reacted, but in life, we should always be reminded that there is no an excuse for doing what is wrong even when we are unaware of the circumstance attached to it, that is why information is key, if am born and breed up in a place doesn't means i must spend my entire life living there, there is freedom of migrating from one place to another for settlement, also, for some of us that are quite aware that we have something valuable to lose if the natural should happen, then i expect us to have research about any environment before making a decision for staying there permanently.
