Like it's good to have pizza party occasionally but eliminating such entertainment altogether from life will make things difficult and it won't help in long term Bitcoin investment.
Why are you making it sound as if investing in Bitcoin eliminates the fun in a person's life. Living my personal life won't affect my investment in anyway and I won't interrupt my accumulation strategy because I have a pizza party to attend. If my money can't take me after investing they I try out other things that my money can afford but I will never touch part of my investment money . Discipline is very important to have a successful long term investment.
This is the reason storing of our Wallet seedphrase in a safe location is very important and without it, I doubt if you will be able to recover your old wallet account where your BTC asset was been hold.
Please be more careful with information you write and reduce misinformation or confusing information spreads through your post.
You have a point these terms can be confusing but I'm sure everyone knows what he meant and no one will be confused since he didn't say anything wrong. Although it's a good thing you point it out but the harsh words was not necessary you could have easily corrected that. It's also important to note that storing your keys in your email is not ideal at all, there are better ways to store them and also having a duplicate copy in a different location is also good too in case of any unforseen circumstances. I believe most people engaging in discussion in this thread would have be familiar with how to properly store their private keys
Regarding private keys we should not be storing them in any electronic or digital form or communicating them over the internet unless encrypted and even encrypted might be dangerous if it is not done properly. Some of the better practices involve writing them down and perhaps either having more than one copy and/or dividing them up, yet we also want to be careful that we do not overly complicate our back up system in such a way that we either lock ourselves and/or our intended heirs out of the coins. Sometimes guys do end up screwing up their own self-storage situation, and I am not proclaiming that there are easy solutions that don't have their own dangers in regards to the challenges of being our own bank... including that we also might want to make our coins difficult to access in the event of some kind of a $5 wrench attack.
Safely securing one's seed phrases can indeed be a challenging one and we can also consider it to be a delicate balance between accessibility and safety. We can no longer undermine the essentiality and importance of acquiring a very secure method for storing one's private keys. There are a few methods that are worth considering, such as the fireproof safe, the safety deposit box and a few other secure ways.
Again, there's also the part where you also consider the potential for family members or your heir to inherit your private keys, it's very important to leave some very clear information or instructions on how they can actually access the funds without having to undergo much stress doing so.
There are also some who actually considers using the Shamir's Secret Sharing scheme, where the owner of the seed phrases shares or divides the phrase into multiple parts, and in order to access the funds, these divided phrases needs to be combined, also making it possible for multiple people to have access to the wallet, thereby adding and extra layer of security to the wallet.
This kinda reminds me the Marvel's Sci-Fi movie 'The Avengers' where Thanos, the antagonist of the movie had to assemble different infinity stones from different people and locations in order to harness the true power of the stones.
It's also crucial to note that the concept of deniability could also at some point be very helpful and useful in most certain scenarios. Example is using a hidden wallet or an encrypted container which could also be attributed to other plausible purposes.
