The path promises you can lose a laptop and still reason about recovery. That depends on a backup, and a backup is only a copy of a secret. Recovery is the procedure that turns it back into keys, on a new device, under stress, maybe done by someone other than you. What the words don't carry: • A BIP 39 passphrase. Every passphrase makes a valid wallet, so a typo at restore just shows an empty one. • The wallet definition: script type, derivation path, whether it was one key in a multisig. • Labels. Bitcoin Core's own guide: "Metadata cannot be retrieved from a blockchain rescan." Monero's 25-word seed and the 16-word form aren't interchangeable, so write down which one you have. The drill: restore on a clean device, compare the first receive address, write down anything you had to look up, then wipe it. Never type real seed words into a website, chat or "validator" tool. https://cryptodecentral.co.za/notes/seed-backup-is-not-recovery Path: https://cryptodecentral.co.za/guides/sovereign-starter #bitcoin #monero #selfcustody
