I've orange-pilled my colleague 6 months ago into buying $40k worth of Bitcoin. She called me crying for 10 minutes straight for losing her seeds although she still has access to her hardware wallet.

She was going to throw the device away thinking it was useless without the seeds. We got the funds, re-created another seed for her. You can imagine how she feels now.

My mistake was over-emphasizing how important her seeds were, without properly explaining what hardware wallets are for.

We're still early guys.
