Why Entropy Isn’t Optional
Bitcoin is secure because the math makes it so—but only when implemented correctly. At the foundation of this security is entropy: the true randomness used to generate your private keys.
In Bitcoin, entropy is not some background detail. It is the singular point of failure. If you compromise entropy—even slightly—you undermine everything that follows: the mnemonic phrase, the private key, the HD wallet structure, the multisig quorum, and the funds.
This isn’t about best practices. It’s about cryptographic truth.
