| I split my crypto assets between Coinbase and what is now a corrupted hard-drive I've yet to recover. |

Half of risk comes from some process "intentionally" the erasing the data. I use the super-sophisticated method of manually copying everything important to an external storage another every 5 weeks or so. That has never failed me. | | |
