So there are 12 words chosen from thousands to recover any wallet.

If you iterate through random word combinations you will eventually generate a wallet that exists, correct?

I know the number of combinations is astronomical. But in theory if you keep generating random phrases, you might eventually stumble upon a wallet holding millions?


It totally impossible I guess. There are billions or even trillion word combinations in a passphrase. If it does possible probably in the future through usage of powerful computer but for now out current technology isn't capable to do that. Besides, this word in a passphrase might be encrypt first before saving to a drive. Another case is that even if you does able to hack a single wallet there's no guarantee that wallet account will have a worth of million balance.
