My dad just texted me saying he bought his first crypto today.

I asked for his seed phrase—and he actually sent it. So, I moved his 1,500 worth of$SOL to my own wallet. Then I called him to explain why.

Lesson 1: never, ever share your seed phrase with anyone. Not friends, not support teams, and definitely not even family.

Your seed phrase is the master key to your wallet. Whoever has it owns your funds. There’s no recovery button, no customer support, no “undo.” That’s the harsh reality of self-custody—full control comes with full responsibility.

It might sound harsh or extreme, but this is a crucial crypto lesson everyone must learn—ideally in a safe way.

So yeah, welcome to the trenches, Dad.

Now you know what it really means to own your crypto.
