8. Do not memorized your seed phrase or private key or even store it where someone that knowns about what you are doing. Possibly avoid someone peeping through your phone and device while at home or office, there could be some spy camera watching over you.

Please anyone else can add theirs lets' keep the newbies awake since is already bull time scammers are looking for a way to accumulate bitcoin they didn't sort for.

One of the most interesting and possibly an ignored point is point number eight( Cool

. This is because, it feels like a safe thing to do but really, there are underlying dangers to it. Like, having to memorize your seed phrase or have it put in some kind of verse for a song. Now the thing is, these are not very frequently used phrases and you could only need this once in a long time, possibly due to change of device and that’s mainly it as, other uses could require a complete change of wallet and seed phrase as, importation of wallet doesn’t solve the issue of compromised seed phrases.
Therefore, in an event of forgetfulness and by some mechanical means, you have your device restore factory set before you get the chance to transfer your coin, it’s all lost.

As per cameras, it’s another means to compromise. These cameras are there for a purpose and somehow, it could lead to someone prying on your privacy just to see what you do or try to keep to yourself and that way, you would be compromised even without you knowing. Your seating angle as well can aid this.

I have to agree with this.
