After further research I've learned that #seedphrases contain some redundancy so that a user can get a few letters wrong and still use the phrase.

Also, a single #seedphrase can code for multiple private keys so you can have multiple addresses with one SP.

However, seedphrases generated by some wallets won't be compatible with other ones.

There's a standard called #BIP39 and some common word lists that wallets can adhere to for compatibility.

Given the trouble that #Coinbase is having, I've decided it's well past time I got my #Bitcoin out of their #wallets.

I'll keep a little there just to spend day-to-day, but I probably won't use a #coldWallet until I'm ready to buy a house.

So I bought a couple of these #steelWallet and I'm going to stamp my #seedPhrase into it and keep them in safes.

Sound like a good plan? Which #wallet software should I use? #btc #cryptocurrency #crypto #paperWallet
