Dad: Son, how do you generate these 24 seed words?
Do you pick random words from your head?
Son: Hi Dad,
This doesn't work that way. First, these words are special words, taken from the "BIP39 Word List". Second, picking words from your head is not random and therefore a bad idea.
I don't always generate a new seed, but when I do, I use dices.
Dad: Why dices? How does this even work?
Son: Dice rolls provide entropy. You could also flip a coin as a source for randomness. The process is simple and is available in BlueWallet (advanced mode), SeedSigner and in every Coldcard.
