>was told to write down my private key and store it securely with other financial documents. I was never to reveal it to anyone, or lose it.

>So I printed it out, but also made the fateful decision to store it in my Gmail drafts, so I could copy and paste it when I needed to make a transaction rather than laboriously typing it out each time.

I was just about to post this, that's like building a fucking huge ass safe with 1m metal walls, putting one key in another huge ass safe and let a second key lying on your doormat.

So it turns out that international banking wasn’t a massive conspiracy, nor Jed were just too retraced to looks after their money properly.

This is seriously a big problem preventing ore people investing in crypto, if they don’t know how to comfortably secure their crypto assets they’ll be too scared to buy them in the first place.
