My dad just texted me saying he bought his first crypto today.
I asked him for his seed phrase and he actually sent it. So I took his $1500 worth of $SOL and moved it to my own wallet. Then I called him and explained why.
Lesson 1: never, ever share your seed phrase with anyone. Not your friends, not support teams, and definitely not even your own son.
Your seed phrase is the master key to your wallet. Whoever has it, owns your funds. There’s no recovery button, no customer service line, and no “undo” once it’s gone. That’s the hard truth about self-custody, it gives you full control, but also full responsibility.
It might seem funny or extreme, but it’s a real part of crypto education. Everyone has to learn it once, preferably in a safe way.
So yeah, welcome to the trenches, Dad.
Now you know what it means to truly own your crypto.
