I imported a 12word seed phrase from my Blockstream phone app into my desktop Sparrow wallet.
But Sparrow says the balance is 0 ....?!?!

What am I not understanding? I thought BIP-39 seed phrases worked across all compliant wallets?

Bought the dip, felt like a genius. Sold the dip, felt like an idiot. Now I’m just sitting here eating snacks watching the chart like it’s a Netflix thriller.

What a wild ride man 😂

question: do yall think volatility scares most investors and will there be a point where demand shrinks away because of it or wil greed always overweigh?

I have been holding BTC through self custody for a few years now with my cold wallet, so I'm familiar with how to set that up, securing seeds, etc.

I have a very close relative that is interested in creating a BTC fund for the next generation but is most likely not a good candidate for self custody. We've so far started off very small over the last couple months but interested in making some more serious moves here soon. I am mostly responsible for setting this up and securing it, but this relative will be able to get access to seeds if something unexpected were to happen to me. I have discussed what to do in the event that this were to occur and wrote an essay explaining how to restore funds through seeds, how wallets work, what not to do with seeds, etc.

My biggest fear is somehow losing these funds because of stupidity or user error. I've devised a plan with regards to securing seed phrases by having backups and not keeping them all in one location.

I'm looking for some input/advice on this. Purely looking at holding BTC for DECADES and not fooling around with Defi and other crap that you connect your wallet to

Don’t be a noob! Be a Never Enough Bitcoin nerd. 🤓

For solo mining/pool mining besides nicehash easy mining?
