What a beautiful piece of poem that you wrote about Bitcoin

Mmm hmm, except that a seed phrase isn't a will; that's like saying the Lambo parked in [pick a whale]'s garage is as good as a will. They're both considered assets, though of different kinds of course.

Imagine 5 kids and 20 grandchildren in 2040 discovering a seed phrase plate that ol' grampa crypto left behind. That's when those relatives start looking for the real will.

A seed is very different than a will. I would also consider it something like a safe and the key to the safe in one. Grin

You don’t memorize 12 words just for security.
You carry them because they mean something.

I don't think memorizing 12 words is good practice, also you should not use the same wallet for a very long time. Both go against the idea behind Bitcoin and can cause some issues.
