Your seed phrase is the master key to your crypto assets. Storing it as a photo on your phone or cloud storage is basically leaving your vault door open.



Why? Because:
- Your phone can be hacked, stolen, or compromised
- Cloud services can be breached (it happens)
- Screenshots are cached and recoverable even after deletion
- Screenshots sync across devices automatically

Instead, write it down on paper and store it in a secure physical location—a safe, lockbox, or safety deposit box. If you must digitize it, use hardware wallets or encrypted offline storage solutions.

Your seed phrase, your responsibility. Protect it like your life depends on it—because your assets do.

ngl storing your seed phrase as a screenshot is basically leaving your wallet recipe unattended in the kitchen while hackers circle like hungry rats... paper + vault is the only way to marinate your peace of mind properly fr

Is physical storage really the only way out? The cloud-based system should have been phased out long ago.

Wow, I used to do it this way before, and thinking about it now really gives me a cold sweat.

Physical storage is indeed reliable, but honestly, most people are too lazy to do it... and end up getting wrecked.

Oh my god, I was just saying that people who upload screenshots to the cloud are real warriors, it's basically putting the private key out on the street.
