I don't think it is so common nowadays to lose their seed... Today, however, everyone is more careful.
You’re right that awareness has increased, but as a
QHSE (Quality & Safety) student, I can tell you: the
Human Factor is the most unpredictable variable in any security system.
We can have the best encryption in the world, but if the "user interface" (our brain) suffers from a "system crash" due to stress or simple aging, the data is gone forever. It’s the ultimate
Single Point of Failure.
Back in 2011, losing a seed was a "whoops" moment. Today, with the current prices, it's a
Tragedy. In the future, it might be a
National Emergency for your personal estate!
I guess the best security protocol is still: Write it down, hide it well, and don't get hit by a bus! 🚌
What do you think is the best "non-digital" way to ensure our heirs can access the seeds without us being there to forget the password?
