Whats the best way to save your recovery phrase in the event of an oh shit moment?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>This is for those of us who use an exchange, yes it's a thing.</p> <p>Curious as to what the easiest and safest place to store the very long random recovery phrase, better to do it soft copy or hard copy?</p> <p>Is it a bad idea to send it to an email and store it there if the email is set up with 2FA? Seems like it would be a quick way to retrieve it should it ever be needed. Or is this not a good idea and we should all avoid the cloud as much as possible and just write it down?</p> <p>Any safe sites to store this online? I'm also wondering of soft copy is a bit safer because you can't lose it, but I guess it can get hacked.</p> <p>What is the safest and easiest way to store this shit?!</p> <p>Edit: a lot of great responses here on how to handle the situation!!
