๐๏ธ WORD OF THE DAY: Seed Phrase
_Good morning BitcoinSafariTz Family!_
Letโs break this down clearly:
A Seed Phrase is a list of 12 or 24 random words, generated when you first create a Bitcoin wallet. These words arenโt random to the systemโtheyโre carefully selected from a standardized list and act as the master key to access all the bitcoin in that wallet.
Think of it like the DNA of your walletโno matter which device or app you use, as long as you have your seed phrase, you can restore your wallet and access your funds.
๐ Why is this important?
- If your phone or computer is lost, stolen, or broken, your seed phrase is your only way to recover your wallet.
- If someone else gets your seed phrase, they have total control over your assets.
- Wallet apps donโt store your seed phrase for youโyou are responsible for it.
โ
Best Practices:
- Write it on paper (not6 digitally).
- Store it offline, in a safe or hidden place.
- Never screenshot or save it in your phone.
- Consider using a metal seed backup for long-term storage.
