The reason why i outline that security is one the most important thing or objective that a beginner in cryptocurrency journey should know as one of the major key is that , my friend who bought a Bitcoin with the savings does not know that trust wallet seed phrase which some people called "private key" is very important, he bought a Bitcoin that worth two thousand dollars and he never knew that his seed phrase have to keep in secret and he wrote his seed phrase on paper and drop it on his table after two months he started looking for the paper were he wrote his seed phrase where he login his trust wallet and two thousand worth of Bitcoin in his wallet is not to be found, its there i noticed that security is highly important in Bitcoin and right now im of very observant and careful with any that concerns security mostly cryptocurrencies.i am a newbie and i will like to tell my fellow newbies to be security conscious of things that relates with Bitcoin because its a decentralized currency.
as fictional as this may sound, their is a whole lot of thing to learn from this story. Some of us are always too casual with important things and are used to keeping things that are of valuable anyhow and whenever we are in a situation that requires usbto use it urgently, that's when we start searching everywhere and when we run out of luck sometimes, we start blaming it on people staying with us.
Your private key is as valuable as any amount of bitcoin you've accumulated in your wallet and as much as you see your accumulated bitcoin as a big deal, you should see you private key as same.
I think their was a suggestion someone gave under a thread that it's better we write our private key into a number of copies and save it at different location we visit very often so in the event that we loose access to one, we can easily go to the next location to retrieve it. I find this very wise because apart from misplacing your private key, incident could happen like wire outbreak that can burn down your property and your key might be among things burnt down, you don't want to be a victim do you?
