This is the first thing all bitcoiner should know by now. Anyone who dont know how to store their seed phrase should be kicked out.

However, people now prefer hard wallet to cold wallet. Reasons stems from the from the fear of the internet (Cyberphobia) or perhaps they have internet anxiety. Whatever the reason, its a more safer wallet to cold wallet IMO. Well everyone with his own preference.

Yes my brother, it's very very important for someone not to let anyone know about his or her seed phrase because that is the key to your Bitcoin asset and every other cryptocurrency, and one has to be very careful on where you saved your seeds phrase to avoid being a victim of scammers, because alot of people on the social media or on the internet are not here for a good motive rather to look for who to scam and get away with what you have laboured for for many years.

so I think the best way for you to save your seed phrase is to write it on a piece of paper and keep it in your private place where no one else can see it and there is still other ways in which you can save your seed phrase, but I just tell you the best I have been doing and it's very save to me..

Some actually encrypt their seed phrase on metallic objects and bury it in their private space and in a way the object can not rust..
Some other people divide the secret phrase into three or four parts, they write down each parts down somewhere and in different locations in a way which even if some one finds the first part, they will never be able to find the second, third and forth part and so on..

It's true that lot of newbies has lost their funds out of their lack of knowledge that the internet is a crazy place to be trusted and just batches in any line comes across without knowing how harmful it could be if you step on the wrong side.
It's always necessary to protect our seed phrase and private keys with that how much risky we know exposing our credit cards and it password can be a doom to the lost of our funds in the banks.
As much as the customer service, help desk or whosoever in claim from the banking sector can't ask you for your cards passwords, so also no authority, individual or any service center has the right to ask you for your seed phrase. And you only need to enter it at your privacy at no ones directive.

Unlike traditional banks bitcoin has give us total control over our assets which means that what so ever happens concerning our wallet or your private key there will be no one to call that is why it's really good to prioritise the safety and security of our seed phrase .

Do not backup your seed phrase online because scammers can get to it online.

I have written down the seed phrase in multiple places because if one is lost or damaged, I will keep a backup through an alternative source. We have seen many incidents recently where some users have lost their phones or their phones have been damaged. Due to carelessness they have not taken care of their seed phrase and therefore they cannot recover the wallet. Saving it online or sending it to your email is a dangerous process because scammers are spreading their net and waiting for you to make a mistake.

[Y3shot]

Saving your seed phrase online is not advisable because wherever you think is the best place to save your seed phrase online, it is not guaranteed that the location where it is being saved is secure; anything can happen. Saving your seed phrase online, be it in an email, password manager, or any other method you can think of, means that it is managed by a group of people, and this implies that these individuals are the ones storing your seed phrase for you.

The seed phrase is a vital key that you alone should manage and store in a way that allows you to always have access to it without anyone else knowing how it is being stored.

This is the first thing all bitcoiner should know by now. Anyone who dont know how to store their seed phrase should be kicked out.

Some of the reputable and big names we look up to in this space today, made mistakes with seed phrase storage when they started out. If they were kicked out back then like you are advising, we wouldn’t even have them today as role modelss.

So instead of kicking people out, it’s better to educate them, that is one of the reasons why this forum exists. Coz the more people that iss taught about proper storage and self custody ,the stronger and safer the Bitcoin community becomes. Those mistakes can be turned into lessons those lessons create better Bitcoiners.

However, people now prefer hard wallet to cold wallet.

So when you say people “prefer hardware wallet than cold wallet,” it is more like you saying that someone "prefers oranges to fruit” The hardware wallet is already part of the cold wallet family. The hardware wallets has however become one of the most popular type of cold wallet because of its portability, it's easier to use and it oftenn come with secuurity features like PIN codes.

Exactly, saving your seed phrase online is not advisable and you can't lose all your bitcoin investment easily when a scammers get access to it. We need to be very careful when keeping our things online, in my opinion saving your seed phrase or document that are important online is not good to keep it online. But I notice that some are really careless to keep there things secure at home, that is why some prefer to keep it online and that is very risky, because anything that is all about Internet is not save to be keeping your important things in it.

That is why many investors will always advise you to write your things on paper and hide it in a place that you won't lost it or any one won't get access to it. Anyplace that we are saving our money we need to be very careful wallet or bank,we just need to be careful and we should not try to tell anyone about our secret thinking. friend or love once we should not show anyone our seed phrase because you don't know who like you or hate you, sometimes your enemy is just waiting for opportunities to comes once to harm you.

There's a reason why it's called a seed phrase in the first place, it means that it should stay hidden. A lot of people wonder why their assets gets stolen, this makes them start saying things like the wallet is a scam but whereas they are the ones that are just being careless. Backing up your seed phrase online can give others access to your wallet. There are several ways to maintain maximum security of your seed phrase and I don't suggest that it should be saved on your mobile device if you are the type of person that gives other people your phone. You can write it out and keep it in a place that you can always see and is not within people's reach

The importance of seed phrase doesn't just end at keeping it safe from scammers or hackers.... At least this is the basics we are supposed to know when it comes to storing assets on wallets.

Another thing wey almost everybody dey forget na incase person loose em device... Seed phrase also help as a retrieval of wallets when you loss your device and this issue don happen to one of my friend..
He was lucky not to come across scammers but when his device was stolen... He didn't know where to find his wallet seed phrase and that was how he lost the funds in that wallet.

[DaNNy001]

Having a seed phrase has numerous benefits asides form the privacy and security you can also retrieve your wallet when your devices crashes or gets misplaced, a lot of people have lost their assets because they lost their seed phrase or couldn't remember it, this is carelessness of that highest order... people fall for certain scams on x and telegram, they tell them to drop their wallet address and seed phrase to claim some kind of bonus and they are not smart enough to detect it's a scam

Yes my brother, it's very very important for someone not to let anyone know about his or her seed phrase because that is the key to your Bitcoin asset and every other cryptocurrency, and one has to be very careful on where you saved your seeds phrase to avoid being a victim of scammers, because alot of people on the social media or on the internet are not here for a good motive rather to look for who to scam and get away with what you have laboured for for many years.

so I think the best way for you to save your seed phrase is to write it on a piece of paper and keep it in your private place where no one else can see it and there is still other ways in which you can save your seed phrase, but I just tell you the best I have been doing and it's very save to me..

You are absolutely right bud, when it comes to the issue of how we can securely keep our seed phrase safe away from preying eyes, there are alot of ways to do it, and I love the fact that you mentioned that, but most people (especially newbies) are mostly familiar with writing the seed phrase down on a piece of paper and keep the paper safe, it's very understandable as this is one of the simplest and less complicated way of doing it, but when it comes to other ways which I've seen some persons do..

Some actually encrypt their seed phrase on metallic objects and bury it in their private space and in a way the object can not rust..
Some other people divide the secret phrase into three or four parts, they write down each parts down somewhere and in different locations in a way which even if some one finds the first part, they will never be able to find the second, third and forth part and so on..

Oga Fivestar4ever, wetin I dey always reason whenever people are talking about the best ways to secure their seed phrase be say, make we even keep newbie matter for side small, most times person dey go look for different and even more solid ways to secure their seed phrase because of the kind investment wey dem don already store inside. As the wise men dey talk, you no go tell persin make e secure him property, once him know the value of the property, him go fit climb mountain if na wetin go make am protect am. Naso seed phrase matter be, people wey u see say no dey find the safest ways to save their seed phrase na because say dey either be newbies wey no get plenty savings inside or people wey no be newbies but yet do not have plenty savings inside their phrase.

As you talk say some dey actually encrypt or engrave their seed phrase on physical metallic objects and bury it in their private space, e come make me remember one article or reply wey I don ever read about the metal back up and how some early bitcoiners start to dey stamp or dey engrave their seed phrase on titanium and stainless steel plates come still put am inside vault, some go still go dig shallow graves put am inside and it won't be one location all in the name of securing their funds.

We don hear where dem talk say persin split him seed phrase into three parts and stored them.for different countries which means the persin gaz to travel across at least 3 different countries before him fit actually get access to him full key. Na because say him sabi the value of wetin him store. E dey make me even imagine how dem Satoshi and dem boss @Theymos go take dey store their own seed phrase sef. It means there's no actual limit or perfect way to how you can secure your seed phrase.

I am surprised that there are people who believe in unknown SMS from Telegram and give their seed phrases.

Greed destroys people. There are many who are greedy but do not understand themselves well. On the other hand, there are many who do not know about all these scams. If someone consults them and wants to help, they completely believe and agree to give everything. Most of the time, elderly people fall into this kind of trap.

We need to understand that there is no system where it is possible to double your money in 1 or 2 days. This is completely fake news. If any such problem comes, then we all need to take action against them at that moment. Such Telegram channels should be blocked.

Remember that the seed phrase is the main security measure for your digital assets. So do not share the seed phrase with anyone. Even if it is your child.

Your seed phrase is what that you can use to access your bitcoin on your wallet and to spend the coin. Many people are sending email that they should enter their seed phrase on a site. If they enter the seed phrase their, the bitcoin will be sent to another bitcoin address by the scammer.

Do not backup your seed phrase online because scammers can get to it online.

And seed phrase is one of the most important components of the wallet and without you won't have access to your wallet so if anyone Is opening any wallet they have to put in consideration the fact that they have to keep there seed phrase safe because the moment they lose that is the end there is no way that they will get it back so once beaten twice shy but sometimes people need to learn the hard way.

And people also have the habit of keep there seed phrase online when they know own that it can be hacked so they need to find a more suitable way to keep there seed phrase safe. There better ways that they can backup there seed phrase instead of saving it online.
