John had heard horror stories about people losing access to their Bitcoin wallets due to forgotten seed words. Feeling paranoid, he jotted his seed words on a sticky note and hid it somewhere he thought was “safe.”

Relieved but frustrated, John promised himself to find a better way to secure his seed words—and to double-check his hiding spots next time.
