I currently have a chunk of ETH and BTC in a hardware wallet, and have memorized the seed phrase. All physical copies of the seed phrase are destroyed. This money is now mine and no one else’s. I could be stripped of all my possessions, thrown in jail, declared an enemy of the state etc… but as long as I still remember that seed phrase the money is MINE. If that’s not the coolest way to store value in history I don’t know what is. Its like magic.
If anyone is wondering how I did this, I used a memory castle. This is a great thing to learn and not that hard. The core principle is to attach whatever you want to memorize to something in your long term memory. I just used my childhood home growing up. I take each seed word, and create a silly image of that thing in relation to some part of the home I grew up in. Then I can just imagine myself moving around my childhood home, and I see each of the seed words in relation to something I could never forget (The table my parents did taxes on, the entryway to the kitchen, the fireplace I sat next to in the wintertime etc etc.).
Cryptocurrency isn’t just a way to get rich. Its an incredibly powerful new technology.
EDIT: Well guys you were right… I was putting on my pants this morning and fell over due to the weight of my massive balls. I struck my head and now my seed phrase is lost forever. At least they can never take away my massive cock and balls.
