What is that idea?
Do you see it is very risky at beginning?

Selling a house and like all property you have to invest in Bitcoin. Then have to rent a tent to live and never stop worry about how to keep your bitcoin, wallets, backups safely. I will not apply this idea for my life and my investment because as said, very risky.

Jameson Lopp wrote this one How to back up a seed phrase?. It is helpful but of course not applied for people who sold a house and live in a tent.

Hahaha Smart Move. Definitely the last place a thief would think of going, well except they're already informed there's something precious there. How about those that don't have a physical bible, where would you suggest they hide theirs?

Reddit never ceased to amaze me in regards on how creative user on bringing hilarious comment.  

On serious note, There’s a lot of seed phrase storage available now that will give you safety against physical damage such as titanium plate and capsule which is very reliable for long term storage on whatever place you want it to store.

Seed phrase is not common target of physical attack which means don’t store it on an obvious place which a thief will target to open such as vault or bags. In my case, I put mine on a page of my Bible since a thief will most likely not gonna touch that when doing a sin.

There is already a thread discussing how to store safe phrases in this forum which you can search for by entering keywords about it.
Malicious attacks in the internet world can never be reached by us even though we feel safe that the phrases we store in storage space have a connection to the internet.

Storing secure phrases is only available in offline storage. For us, offline is very safe with a storage method that can be anticipated when disasters such as fires and floods occur.

Hello everyone

Hope y'all having a wonderful day. And so I was doing some research about the best way to store your Bitcoin Pass phrases. I know a lot of people do not really think this is that important because you can simply just copy out the phrases and just dump it in your diary or on your notepad, or maybe on a piece of paper and hide it somewhere in your room and then just assume it's safe there. Well I used to think so too, not until I come to realize that storing up and securing your phrases is actually the primary thing in the Bitcoin journey and a lot of Bitcoiner are quite ignorant of this fact.

I began my search as I surfed the web and also checked forum too. Then I bumped into a thread by @fillippone which literally contained the answer to my questions. He spoke about storing and securing your phrases through what's called a WASHER. didn't have a clue what that meant so I had to dive in to take a look. Honestly I was quite fascinated and think everyone should take a look at his theory because it's important everyone know about the safest way to store up your phrases and keep them away from intruders.

According to Jameson Lopps, he said in a tweet "Most folks figure an Evil Maid attack will never happen to them because they don't have a maid. Yet nobody ever expects the Naive Child attack..." You never can predict where the attack might come from so it's important protect yourself and avoid it.

I also followed a link on the thread that led me to an article by Jameson on how to also choose the way to back up my phrases. On the article I bumped into something that kinda cracked me up. I couldn't stop laughing for a while after reading this because I found it really hilarious. Image below.





Well, the reason for this thread is to offer some sort of guide to anyone who's also asking questions about the best way to back up your phrases.
