What's your opinion on memorising your seed phrase?

There are some that say you could be tortured out of it? Others that that's Bitcoin's ultimate power.

What does NOSTR think? #asknostr

You can be tortured to reveal your seedphrase's location just as well.

Right? I'm also of the camp "seedphrase in my head is a super power"

Indeed. The biggest concern regarding security as far as I'm concerned, is loved ones. If the kidnapper of your child asks for a ransom, it doesn't matter how secure your setup is anymore.

That's based. Fuck trusting machines, passwords are our most powerful weapon against them. I refuse to trust a computer with my password.

I don't really have any response to torture. Idk, set up a decoy wallet and give them the password to that???

when I was younger I would have thought this was brilliant, but now I know the brain takes hits like the body, and sometimes memories crumble. Also, if you want to store bitcoin in your head, there are easier ways to do it than memorizing 12 random words

I hear there's an extremely low chance of being able to recall it later, so I'm very careful to keep mine memorized and double check often if I still have it memorized strongly enough to feel far from forgetting
