It is important to backup your seed phrase but some people said the backup is not good online but which is true because we have seen how hackers was able to see some people seed phrase online and steal their coins. But I have been thinking recently that how can people in countries with natural disaster be able to backup their seed phrase offline? An example is the flooding that occured in Pakistan like 2 or 3 years ago that submerged 1/3 of the country under water. Even if you backup your seed phrase offline in many locations, it is possible that kind of flood can lead to permanent loss of your offline seed phrase.
And this is sometimes quite difficult to avoid. In several countries, various natural disasters are still prone to occur, whether it be floods, landslides and various other natural disasters. And when that happens, often we won't think about saving our assets, because most of the time it's quite sudden. So all we think about is our lives and those of our families.

And after that, maybe we can understand and realize that we left behind such a valuable asset. And this is too late. In fact, things like this are sometimes quite difficult for us to avoid. This crypto, it will always be like that, no one can guarantee its security 100% both online and offline. Of course there are risks, whether the device is lost, damaged, or even deliberately stolen by someone, or infected by a virus or malware. But at least, we can invest more optimally in securing our assets, right? Therefore, let's just consider a better one.
