Difference between keeping seed phrase, private and secret.

[Coin_info]

These two words are often used when someone is advising you about securing your bitcoin investment, but thinking about it, the context may be misunderstood clearly by people in different situations who nor really understand well.

I go use the two word for sentence, so we go fit understand am wella, and na-

- Keep your seed phrase private.
- keep your seed phrase secret.

Me I understand say the purpose of the two statements mean the same thing, but for different people the actual meaning dey different. Make I explain.

If you have a trusted partner, wife or husband wey two of una dey on the same motion, keeping your seed phrase a secret, fit affect una marriage unto say e go be like you nor trust them enough, so in that case, the better word na to say make dem keep am private not secret.

If you dey single or you dey with partner wey dun show signs of being unworthy of trust, in that case na for you to keep your seed phrase Secret not private.

Something wey dey private, dey among a group or a few persons, something wey dey secret na something wey you dey keep to yourself alone.

I know say nor be english class be this, but e go make sense say we show a higher level of understanding as crypto enthusiast by using the proper terms when speaking among ourselves and to likely investors we hope to lure.

Ever since I joined this forum, I have not used these two words before while talking or posting about what is related to seed phrase. How are they important?

Letting your family or your children or your wife know or not know about your seed phrase can easily be communicated without mentioning private or secret.

[Hatchy]

Something wey dey private, dey among a group or a few persons, something wey dey secret na something wey you dey keep to yourself alone. .

I don't know how this is important in storing your seedphrase but I think you also made a mistake in the terms private and secret. Keeping something Private means that it should be Kept to oneself you and you alone. A secret has to be amongst two or more person for it to be a secret. You literally mixed the two words together..

But then it won't matter much. If you know you can trust your wife or partner with your seedphrase, then it's important to let someone know they exist. But honestly I don't think would be doing that. It's meant to be private so I'll store it some where only I knows about..

On that note, make we no get the terms explained differently like that because e go mislead people especially beginners.
I either no go want engage on arguing on opinions but wetin I go just talk be say, keep your seed phrase private and secured where nobody go see am or never trust it to anyone out of mere trust of emotions say the person no fit hurt u.
Privacy on the bitcoin prefers to when no one knows about ur portfolio such as govt or people for ya area. That na to support your asset security.by keeping anonymity of your holding and privatize every aspects way for cause you harm.

If you don't trust anyone in life, is to avoid your seed phrase getting out from you no matter how close you can be, once your seed pharse is lost, there is no way you can get you funds in the wallet back, because there will be  no way to access therefore lossing your phrase means losing everything, but if you have a responsible person that you know can keep your secrets, then you can share with the him/her for security purpose in future.due to health issues or some unforseen circumstances that might arise.

Then you should just put it this way naw "Keep your seed phrase joined since there is a joined account in various banks where husband and wife operating it, even bank warns both husband and wife to keep their atm card pin secret why not private. Private and secret are just synonymous word. No different.

In as much as the information is passed across users to safeguard their seed phrase to be known to only themselves, that's successful.

I kept on wondering why people get married to who they don’t trust, imagine having a wife or husband that keep so many things away from you, all the same if you are having trust issue , it is better you keep it to yourself, which is secret , instead of involving a second party or third party that you don not trust .

before a partner decides not to allow his husband or wife access to his seed phrase, it clearly means that the partner is not aware of his bitcoin holding and likely is not contributing her quarters to increasing the quantity of the bitcoin holding. if you are dealing with a a supportive wife, you need not being told that every detail of the families asset should be shared with her. it is just that we are in a time where most marriages scatters easily because of the issue of finance and so, men have started building defense mechanism around them so they are protected from any sort of unforeseen issue that might spring up as a result of a knowledge that the husband has a certain quantity of bitcoin.

in an ideal case, there is no reason why one should keep his seed phrase hidden from his partner. once that even comes to mind, it gives a clear indication that even you as the husband that you are not even safe in the relationship. even if you did not keep the seed phrase private from your partner, collectively, it is necessary to keep it safe from a third party since the both of you are ideally termed to be one.

For me,  keeping your seed phrase private is by not letting anyone including your partner or family to see or know about it just you alone, the same thing by using the word ‘IT PRIVATE’ which mean say na only you know where e Dey, you get?

Then for keeping your seed phrase secret is by knowing about it and also exposing it to some few persons maybe your mom or dad or even your partner which you can trust

Not telling your wife everything does not mean you do not trust her, it is just wisdom.

If the case be like she is the head of finance in the family, and every finance are in crypto, you can trust her while the man should be with the wallet address that carries the portfolio balance in case of illegal withdrawal by the wife, the man can track it on explorer as soon as possible and stop everything.

The wisdom of keeping crypto together should be for saving together, saving for the family while it aren't personal funds, these must be agreed before accomplishments.

[Man of peace]

Well,for my own understanding about this two words it's just a little different and the difference does not make the two words different in the sense that both of them are talking about to secure your assets ok..

So what I am saying is that the words are different in pronunciation but similar or the same in meaning..

Private here implies a thing can be know within limited circle. This means it can only ke known between you and your partner or trusted business associate since you share financial matters with such a person, this is what is mean by keeping your phrase private.

Secret may mean that nobody can ever have a knowledge about it but you. This works only when you single, without full trust for your partner or want to be entirely independence concerning your funds.

But both phrases can mean you are aiming at protecting your Bitcoin from thieves. With your breakdown it shows the importance of choosing the right word. Any slight change in word can equally change how others understand their duties and trust in relationships

Use secret when educating newbies about safety and security, it is more clear and difficult to misunderstand.
Use private when having a conversation with those who  have knowledge of the basics and think of having shared access inheritance or family trust

I never really reason the two words having a different meaning but as I look up the words for online just now I come dey understand the difference although both words dey very similar and both has to do with withholding information from people.

From within I read, privacy na say you decided to hold the information for yourself while secret na say you no want make people know about the thing. So if you don't want people to know about your Bitcoin holdings na secret you dey keep so and this might involve you not telling your family because you no trust them.

But in the context of Bitcoin, I think both words can be used and doesn't have any difference because when you hold the information from your family, you're keeping your privacy and being Secretive at the same thing.

Even though the word really mean almost same thing for bitcoin space ba, OP seriously explained how seed phrase should be treated interms of our relationship, I think for family members most especially immediate ones like parents for single ones and wives or children for someone who wants to have family, you might decide to have to use both. Like you will tell your parents it’s a private thing and you want them to keep it as a secret, Same thing with your wife too.

The reason why you have to specifically tell them that it is a secret is because they might decide to have it private and extend the information to other family members most especially in a Nigerian extended family because they feel those people are in the bracket of private too, but telling them it’s a secret between you too is to simply safeguard the information between you two and your own way of telling them that it shouldn’t be voiced out to even immediate family members to them, as you want total secrecy

I don read these statements at least thrice before I got actually come up with a difference. Them similar no be small but the difference be say, one na composite of the other. Make I explain:

Private na the ultimate form of secrecy. When something Dey kept private, e mean say, another eye no ever suppose see am or know about am. Take for example, private parts. You shah know say, you no suppose allow people Dey see you naked. When you reach that stage to make am public, na you know watin you Dey do.

When it comes to secret or secrecy, something fit Dey shared amongst one or two persons or even a group of persons and then, e still remain secret via say, these persons know themselves and them don agree to not share that thing with other persons. Take for example, secret cults.

Ever since I joined this forum, I have not used these two words before while talking or posting about what is related to seed phrase. How are they important?

Letting your family or your children or your wife know or not know about your seed phrase can easily be communicated without mentioning private or secret.

This explains how conscious of the words and disciplined you must be to have purposefully abstain from using them at all and na true you talk, e get how you go arrange something way be say, others go get the message even out you making it clear.

Ordinarily these two words mean same thing  like you said but there are some context we can not use one or the other that is each has a place they will suit when conversing. Something wey dey private, dey among a group or few persons true and also something wey dey secret can also be among people or persons. Sometimes there are things we keep within our family or within our children they are also called secret and not private. I have seen a child that told me that his parent told him not to tell anyone that they have a dog or something in the house that is a secret so secret can also be among group of person with same goal or interest.

If you have a partner you can not vouch for or discuss secret with then I don't think that person is worthy to be called a partner, me personally I can't keep someone I can't vouch for or trust so close because they are same thing as your enemy.
