How to safely backup your bitcoin recovery phrase using Coinplate stainless cold wallet

Warsaw, Poland, 8th Feb 2022, ZEXPRWIRE, You should always make sure your seed recovery phrase is safe. Both from other people as well as accidental damage. Losing your seed can mean losing your coins.

What is a seed recovery phrase?

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies use an easy wallet recovery system. Almost all coins and wallets work with the BIP39 recovery standard. It’s also much easier to use than earlier private keys.

The wallet software creates a list of words, randomly chosen from the BIP39 list. The user is then asked to write it down (backup) on a piece of paper and put it in a secure location.

The other names for this list of words are mnemonic recovery phrase, seed phrase or backup seed phrase. It allows granting full access to the wallet it was generated from. Important note: without this seed phrase you can lose access to your funds.

The above applies to:

  • hardware wallets like Ledger Nano, Trezor, Keystone.
  • software wallets like MetaMask or MyEtherWallet
  • proprietary crypto wallets
  • almost every other cryptocurrency

It is because almost all cryptocurrencies and wallets use the BIP39 standard. Whether it’s Dogecoin, Ethereum or Bitcoin, it will work with BIP39.

Why should you take special care of your recovery phrase?

With your Bitcoin mnemonic phrase or recovery seed phrase, anyone has full access to your whole wallet and all your funds. This means you should store it in a secure location so no one but you can access it. It is also a good idea to have multiple copies of your seed phrase.

Your mnemonic phrase written on a piece of paper, even if stored in a locked safe or buried down in a pile of other documents is still a piece of paper. Different kinds of situations can put your backup phrase in danger and make it unreadable in the future. Paper can be destroyed easily.

Imagine your upstairs neighbor got a water leakage just above your room where you store your paper seed phrase. Paper can become unreadable when wet. The same applies to a situation where your neighbor creates little fire and the fire brigade floods your apartment with water.

Also in a fire situation, paper is easily destroyed. Even if your insurance will pay you back for your destroyed apartment and this nice hi-fi audio set. No one ever will pay you for your lost cryptocurrency because you lost your cryptocurrency recovery phrase with a piece of paper.

There is numerous situation like these above where an accident or small disaster could make your funds disappear. But the most common situations where people lose access to their funds forever are quite dumb.

Many people lost their cryptocurrency now worth millions of dollars in various ways. Some of them lost millions just because their mom or spouse threw this weird piece of paper with other rubbish away. You can also lose your bitcoins easily if you throw away your recovery phrase stored with some old documents.
