Tip of the day: instead of using the word “infinite” consider if words like “unlimited” or “vast” may be a better fit.
Truly infinite things are limited to the realm of mathematics. Pure theory. But there are many scenarios where a quantity may be practically unlimited, or unfathomably large.
For example, the time it would take to brute-force guess a Bitcoin seed phrase is vast, but not infinite.
