RE: STEEM Cold Wallet - How to protect your funds from anything

in #steem7 years ago

Why would someone store hundreds of thousands of Steem and/or SBD on their account? I suppose it's a matter of ease of access. In that case, I think you're right and that the way to go would be a "paper wallet", or a "paper password".

Sort:  

don't you think folks who own huge sbd or steem prefers it in one account bcos of the respect and reputation it accords them. I still insist as i submitted earlier on 2FA and i know steem(it) has the programmers to work on it. nice point though... @cryptosharon

There are people who use 2FA to store their passwords even though it is not implemented on Steemit. It's worth a shot, I think.

Sure. Glad to have someone who agree with my submittion. Let's keep in touch 💪

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just rich people things.

There are much much smaller accounts that can still use the advice.

Actually this advice is more crucial for the smaller accounts. Big account owners most of the time know how to secure their accounts. That’s why they are still rich :) With the advent of bidbodts smaller accounts now enjoy possibility of having bigger upvotes. Since they need liquid steem on daily basis they can neither use savings facility nor Powerup their accounts. Even yesterday there was a steem user asking for help on SMT Telegram channel regarding his compromised account. This one and abundce of other cases tell us that it wouldn’t be logical to feel safe because you are not rich. Keep in mind that scammers also know that you think this way and you don’t pay attention to security. Big scammers might not be chasing you but there are lots of “plankton scammers” who would pursue even 0.01 steem on your account.
It’s a smart advice and i’ll take it. Better than being sorry :)
