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.
The reason people are saying we should avoid saving it online is not because of anything. Still, we know that anything that is connected to the internet will allow hackers to be able to access you, and that is why they will tell you to keep it away from anything connected to the internet. and if they can have access to your seed phase, then your money is gone. I am sure that some people don't even know where their seed phase is, and even if something eventually goes wrong, they will start looking for it, and that is when they will not be able to find it.
And if you are in a country where natural disasters occur, you should be able to make plans for the safekeeping of your seed phrase, because if it is written and the building collapses, how do you recover it? Some challenges will be faced. If you are keeping it offline, then it should be a place that will be excluded from any disaster.
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.
It is always difficult to avoid disaster because you never know exactly where it will start or where it will end. If you stay in a country where things like this occur, you have to look for ways to secure yourself and your important assets, like your seed phrase. When disasters occur, the first thing you will even think about is how to get to safety, and then another thing will come after that because you will be so scared that you just want to be alive.
And even if you want to keep it somewhere else, what if that place also gets hit, assurance of it being safe in your country is a tough one, both online and offline are at their own risk. Anything can happen to it either way. With all this, how do we keep it safe?
