RE: $9000 of crypto - gone in the blink of an eye.

in Proof of Brain4 years ago

Hoooo...boy. That would definitely be cause for all manners of panic. Been there (sort of) done that, when a piece of hardware failed lass than half a day after creating a crypto account. Fortunately, I remembered that I had "stored" them as an email to myself until I could get to a place with a printer and thumb drive... so I could go to my online email from a different machine and retrieve them.

Glad it all turned out OK in the end! Ultimately, our keys aren't 100% safe anywhere, as thumb drives can be lost, hardware can fail, pieces of paper thrown away, cloud-based vaults hacked. We just have to find the level of risk we're OK with and go with it.

that's right! every single thing can be lost! But we just have to do whatever we can - without being too crazy hahahaha and then have peace with the system we have!!!

yes - and i felt that "hoooo boy" LOLOLO I really felt it! hahahaha
