Before I knew any better, I bought Cardano. I held it much longer than I wanted to because I didn't understand the 12 words in any meaningful way.
After going bitcoin only, I studied the BIP39 wordlist. I liked the idea of turning numbers into mnemonics, not just with bitcoin. I also studied the major number system.
Eventually, I figured out Cardano used the same list. I realized the word "store" was not on it. The word was stove, but my handwriting sucks.
I'm lucky I have any bitcoin. I have made so many mistakes, fell for so much bullshit and have had way too many close calls that could have caused me to lose my whole stack.
Feeling grateful.
