Not trolling, just unfamiliar with crypto. Perhaps this proves my point that security, especially long term, is hard.

- lxgr 3y agoOh, thanks for the reply and sorry for the accusation then. Well, just to reiterate – if you need to hold crypto, and if you're doing self-custody for it (no recommendation for either), don't come up with your own recovery phrase. Use a reputable wallet (again, I won't recommend one here) and make sure you have a backup plan that works, ideally offline and in multiple locations. And to reiterate: Even doing that, people lose their funds all the time. Opsec is hard, doubly so when literal money is at stake. The human mind is quite bad at true randomness, but very good at coming up with puzzles that it perceives to be unsolvable (but that others can crack trivially).
