obviously that 5k is like nothing to you if you couldn't be asked to spend 3 min writing it down and securing it.
just imagine how you are going to feel when its his 100M, 1MM, 5MM. just think what that 5k could mean for you later in life.

Good news everyone. I happened to have found a copy of the PDF on my computer. It turns out I copied it instead of moved it to the USB. Although it's probably only worth half as much now, lol (bought $5000 of BTC on 12/07 last year).

How should I deal with this? Print it out, delete the file, and put it in a ziplock or something?

As foolish as OP was, this is why crypto is still ages away from being mainstream.
