What is on it
- Numbered lines for 12, 20 or 24 words.
- "Copy 1 of 2" and dates for the yearly check.
- No crypto words on the cards, so a stranger who finds one learns nothing from the label.
Paper is a start, not the end
Paper is fine while you learn. It does not survive fire or flood. For savings you plan to keep for years, Lesson 30: Backing up your seed phrase explains metal backups and where to keep your copies.
Why no crypto words on the card
A sheet labelled "bitcoin" tells a burglar or a nosy visitor exactly what it is. A plain list of words numbered 1 to 24 does not. Keep the top half of the sheet, with the rules, somewhere else or recycle it.
