Let me share the absolute worst ways people actually store their seed phrases – yes, these are real.

Some genius minds think the Apple Notes app is Fort Knox. Others screenshot their recovery phrase and leave it chilling in the camera roll. Telegram "Saved Messages"? Apparently a vault now. My personal favorite: email drafts with subjects like "Don't Open it" – because that's not suspicious at all.

Then there's the classics. Google Drive folders literally named "Crypto" (subtle, right?). DMing yourself on Discord like that's some kind of security measure. The sticky note gang proudly displaying their keys on monitors. And who could forget good old Notepad.txt sitting on the desktop.

Here's the thing – if your funds vanish using any of these methods, there's literally nobody to blame but yourself. Hardware wallets exist for a reason. Steel plates exist for a reason. Physical security with actual thought behind it exists for a reason.

Stop treating your seed phrase like a grocery list. This isn't a game where you get a password reset button.
