To people who think they can ‚guess‘ a random 12-words wallet seedphrase
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Was blown away when I saw posts about people who think they are able to guess a 12-word seedphrase to a random crypto wallet.</p> <p>To your understanding: There's a ultra small chance of guessing a 12-word seed phrase, because it's generated using a "Mnemonic Code.". This code uses a combination of random words to create a unique and secure password.
