I tested it to its limits, but I couldn’t find an easy backup method that wasn’t a half page of text, couldn’t find one that I was certain I wouldn’t fail to recover in 10 or 20 years. We forget stuff over time and so the password to your fortune has to be both really complex and super simple to backup. I see no competitor to the seed phrase for this. It’s so perfect, and any complexity added beyond a 25th word is asking for trouble. The superiority and dominance of the basic seed phrase reminds me of what someone recently said about Spotify: “its only real competition is silence”
