But what does this series of words do, and why is it so important to keep them safe?
Self-custody
Taking self-custody of your crypto means moving them off a cryptocurrency exchange and taking ownership of the private key. If you have the private key, you have complete control of the assets inside the wallet.If you keep your crypto on a centralised exchange like Binance or Coinbase, the exchange has custody of your coins by holding the private key. When you take self-custody of your coins, you’re responsible for safeguarding them. Read about the importance of decentralisation here.
The main difference with having custody of your coins is that if you forget your wallet’s password, the wallet provider won’t be able to simply reset your password and restore your access. The only way to recover a wallet if you lose or forget your password is through the Seed Phrase.
What is a seed phrase?
When you create any new wallet, the wallet provider will create a Seed Phrase for you, which is a random series of 12-24 words that acts as the key to your crypto funds. If you’ve ever created a crypto wallet, you were probably prompted to note down a series of words similar to the following:all tourist alarm travel crew logic random sight bulb ritual frozen help
Seed phrases leave less room for human error (as it’s easier to remember and enter a series of words than numbers).
Keeping your seed phrase safe
Your seed phrase gives access to your crypto wallet and all of the private keys contained inside. Keeping your seed phrase safe and hidden is crucial. If you lose access to it, you lose access to your funds.As long as you have your seed phrase, you have access to your crypto. Even if you lose your hardware wallet or the device containing a software wallet, you can retrieve your crypto by entering your seed phrase in another wallet.
Many people write their seed phrase down and store copies in multiple locations. Others engrave seed phrases in durable materials or store them in a safe.
BIP39
Seed phrases were introduced after the 2013 Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 39 (BIP39). There are 2048 words on the BIP39 wordlist. This means that a series of 12 words has 128 bits of security, which has 2128 possible combinations. In other words, a hacker would have to complete 2128 operations to complete a 12-word seed phrase. So, it’s almost impossible for even the most experienced hacker to guess your phrase. The longer the phrase, the more secure it is.Disclaimer: NOT FINANCIAL NOR INVESTMENT ADVICE.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
