Guys I got a stupid question about #bitcoin. Let's say I get a cold wallet, put some sats in there and save the seed phrase. Then a few years down the line the hardware breaks and they don't manufacture that wallet anymore and I can't get a new one. Can I take that seed phrase and restore my funds on ANY other wallet? Even a software one like an app? Or does it have to be the same kind of wallet?
I'm guessing yes, 'cauause bitcoin lives on the bockchain and not in a wallet, but I wanna make sure so I don't risk my money.
