5 Creative ways to store your #Bitcoin seed phrase

1. Engrave on the inside of a steel door lock, so it’s only visible once you unlock + disassemble the door

2. Bury it deep in the ground and create a treasure map with clues only your loved ones will know

3. Create a multi-sig wallet and swap signing devices with a couple Bitcoiner friends or relatives who live far from you

4. Create a decoy wallet, write the 12 words to that decoy wallet on one side of paper, and then use invisible ink to write the 12 words to your real wallet on the other side

5. Create a paper wallet, memorize your 12 words with a limerick style rhyme, or by creating a border wallet and memorizing that shape, then burn that piece of paper

These are just a few options, and each has its tradeoffs. Feel free to comment other creative idea below

6. Do like #MichaelBazzell and hide an encrypted sdcard in a hollowed out coin and hide it in a no questions asked friends house.

What does he recommend for sd encryption?

Good question, I'll need to research. You might want to use #SCRYPT.

All I see is #VeraCrypt. He's podcasting, you can listen with Android on https://fountain.fm/oi?code=ce25e6f91a , his podcast https://fountain.fm/show/m7qullz5GucrfjeqaB9l

The guy is funny:

You can use CryptSetup on #Linux: (assuming `sudo` in front of each command)

```

fdisk -l

```

Assuming `mmcblk0` is the sdcard:

`shred -v -n 1 /dev/mmcblk0`

where -v, verbose and -n, number of iterations

```cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/mmcblk0

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mmcblk0 opt

ls -arlt /dev/mapper | tail

ls -l /dev/mapper/opt

mkfs -t ext4 /dev/mapper/opt```

Where we've named the encrypted drive `opt` and opened in the systems /opt directory, -t is type ext4 which works on Linux systems

```mount /dev/mapper/opt /opt

umount /opt

cryptsetup luksClose opt

ls -l /dev/mapper/opt

'no such file'```
