It's the Biggest Security Error I keep seeing ⬇️

Many people take self-custody seriously.

They safeguard their Bitcoin securely, write down seed phrases, even have multiple copies and store them in safe places.

But here’s what many never do:

→ Test if they can actually recover their Bitcoin.

I’ve seen this go horribly wrong:

⚠️ A small typo when entering the seed phrase

⚠️ Forgetting the exact steps to restore a wallet

⚠️ Struggling with the wallet interface when it matters most

And when do they find out? When it’s too late.

So, do this now:

✅ Restore your backup on a separate wallet.

✅ Verify that everything works: DON'T ASSUME

✅ Practice the recovery process until it’s second nature.

The bigger your #Bitcoin stack, the more stressful self-custody gets.

Start practicing now so you’re ready when it matters.

The only real backup is the one you’ve tested.

At NeoWealth.xyz, we help clients navigate all custody options - from self-custody to institutional-grade solutions.

But if you’re handling your own keys, make sure you actually know how to recover them.

> the bigger the stacv the more stressful

Is it worth splitting the stack into separate physical wallets? Or does that complicate things?

Even better than this, is make your wife recover them without your help.

Thanks for reminding people 🫡

Hi sooly 🤟🏴‍☠️😉 Great reminder, Sooly! Testing backups is often overlooked, and it’s crucial for peace of mind. Far too many people rely solely on the assumption that their backup will work when they need it most, only to find out the hard way that something went wrong. Practicing the recovery process helps ensure that we’re not left stranded in an emergency. It’s all about preparation and mitigating risks before they turn into costly mistakes. Self-custody means full responsibility, and being prepared for any scenario is key!
