120 sats \ 3 replies \ @CoSatoshi 1 Jul 2023 \ on: What’s the most overrated/underrated aspect of Bitcoin? bitcoin
I think one of the most underrated aspect is the power of the seed phrases. I went through a period while learning about Bitcoin where I feared that maybe someone with enough brute force computing power could crack a seed phrase to a wallet.
Then a read a random blog explaining why this is virtually impossible; that there are more seed phrase combinations (even with just a 12-word seed) than there are ATOMS IN THE UNIVERSE.... let alone a 24-word seed phrase.
That's so powerful and mind-blowing, but I don't hear anyone talk about it all (maybe that's just me tho). Bitcoin wallet seeds are literally protected by the physics of the universe.

this is the lesson that all shitcoiners need to learn.
physics enforces security, not stake.
In this Vitalik clip i talked about, he's celebrating the fact that Eth disregards reality.

Ethereum's merge to POS is a blessing in disguise for me personally. It's unlikely I would have arrived to the Bitcoin Only phase this early with out it, honestly.
