Who It’s For
Good fit if
- You hold crypto, or are about to, and would rather not lose it
- You have heard “not your keys, not your coins” and want the mechanics
- You want the security part treated as the main event
Not for you if
- You want to know which coin to buy — that is not in here
- You are looking for trading signals or price predictions
A Look Inside
A seed phrase is not a password. It is the account.
Anyone who reads it owns the funds, permanently, with no
reversal and no support line. Every rule in this chapter
follows from that one fact.
