🔒 Bitcoin Journey Log #3 — Guarding the Keys

The deeper I go into Bitcoin, the more I understand that owning it is easy — but keeping it safe is where the real work begins.

After setting up my cold wallet, I finally grasped how critical those 12 or 24 words really are. They’re not just a backup — they are your Bitcoin. Lose them, and it’s gone forever.

So I’ve started building my own security habits:

📜 Writing the seed phrase by hand (never digital)

🏠 Keeping separate copies in safe locations

🔥 Thinking about metal backups in case of fire or damage

It feels a bit like becoming my own bank — equal parts exciting and humbling.

What’s one security tip you wish everyone new to Bitcoin knew?
