And yet doing so is still trillions of times easier than stumbling across someone else's seed phrase.
Random Bitcoin addresses often appeal to the imagination. My first thought when entering a 12 word seed phrase and getting suggested words after 2 or 3 characters was the same: "wait a minute, I can do this!". Until I started doing the math.
Random large numbers aren't intuitive, and quite hard to grasp. Finding a properly generated Bitcoin private key
by chance is much less likely than typing
my creditcard number by chance. Or even easier: my phone number. And yet, nobody would try to brute-force either one of those, because in those cases it's obvious how unlikely the odds are.
