Might just be a change of key infrastructure. If this was generated a long time ago, perhaps the owner wants something a bit more modern, like a HD wallet on hardware, something like that. More ergonomic and elegant than possibly holding on to a load of different keys.
- Scoundreller 6y agoAgree with most, except the last bit: now they're managing the keys for their bitcoin, bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold (and maybe other forks?)
- lordnacho 6y agoBut with the HD wallets you can switch a field in the derivation path for each coin. Then one seed can give you different looking addresses for each chain, from the same device.
