fellow members,

As we all know keeping mnemonic phrase in a secure place is the first step of bitcoin journey. But there are few thing that comes in my mind:

->Writing and keeping it with you/your place: What if someone got the access in your absence of theft or any disaster?

One way to minimize physical theft is to try to keep your financials as lowkey as possible, most especially, crypto. For instance, don't flaunt on social media or to your IRL peers.

In case of cryptos, burglars typically don't assume you have it and they usually go for the general stuff like cash, gadgets, etc. That is why I'm convinced a lot of physical attacks to crypto users are targeted, which means perps got a hold of their victims activities/information first.

Yes. Physical theft is only encouraged if you are giving them the possible hints. So if you chose to live lowkey and live in private, I guess physical theft will be minimized. However, on part of your cryptos, if you want to protect your seed phrase from being stolen, then never save it online but chose offline. Store it in a secret place that you're the only knows the it exist. And I don't think thieves will run for a single piece of paper than those cash and jewelries that are displayed on your house.
