What a loss!

`Date of publishing: 6-11-2021` `Time: 10:30 pm WAT` As of yesterday night, a friend of mine was physically, mentally and emotionally down. We tried to console him but it isn't easy to get it off one's mind. It got to an extent that we were calling his name, but he wasn't hearing us. I wouldn't want to mention his name here for some reason. We had to tap him hard before he came back to his senses. He was in deep thought. What happened to him? He just bought a new iPhone-X last month. While coming from work yesterday, he misplaced the phone. A new phone that he hasn't used for up to a month. He works in a factory where he earns 10,000 naira per month. Imagine the number of months he used to contribute 200,000 naira to buy the iPhone. We spent most of the time yesterday consoling him. That is not just the only problem, He recently received $500 worth of BTC (Bitcoin) which he said his Uncle sent to him. The Bitcoin went with the phone he lost. Now, the mistake he made was not writing down his Seed/Recovery phrase. In his words, he said he took the screenshot of the recovery phrase. The only way he could have recovered the screenshot was if he backed it up on Google Drive, but he didn't. If he had written down the Seed/ Recovery phrase, it would have been easy for him to recover his Bitcoin later. But now his iPhone is gone and his $500 worth of Bitcoin is gone. Isn't that a Double loss? I decided to drop this because I believe someone might learn from his experience. Especially the newbies here. If he had taken heed of my warnings and had written down the Seed phrase, the Bitcoin loss would have been prevented. I followed him back to the factory he was working to check if we could find it there. We searched the whole place we couldn't find it. We trekked a long distance looking by the roadsides for the lost phone. On a normal day, we would have taken a taxi because the distance was too far. But because of the phone, we were looking for, we had to trek. Unfortunately, we still couldn't find it. **How to find your seed/recovery phase** I always like to start with the **Bitcoin.com wallet.** If you are using the bitcoin.com wallet, it is quite easy to get your recovery phrase. **STEP 1:** Once you open the app, click on settings. **STEP 2:** Click on Backup and security. **STEP 3:** Click on Manual backup **STEP 4:** Click on the wallet you want to backup, on the page you will find twelve words, that is your seed/recovery phrase.

If you are using **Trust wallet** **STEP 1:** Open the Trust wallet app **STEP 2:** Click on Settings at the right bottom corner **STEP 3:** Click on wallets **STEP 4:** Click on the three dots beside the multi-coin wallet. **STEP 5:** Click on the show recovery phrase. You'll find the twelve recovery phrases.
