Lost Seed Phrase Words Recovery... (For Trezor, Ledger, Keepkey or Coinomi Crypto Wallets)
Keep all your crypto safe & upgrade to a Ledger Nano X Hardware Wallet
Alternatively, if you prefer a 100% Open Source wallet, a Trezor One is also a great value wallet
This video looks at using BTCRecover in a situation where you may have completely lost some words from your seed phrase.
---------------------
For your first purcahse, just stick with CoinBase:
By sticking with large, reputable exchanges for your first purchase (Coinbase) and first trade (Binance) you can avoid getting scammed right at the start by purchasing a non-existing coin off a scammy exchange. (You would be surprised how many people fall into this trap)
Don't have a hardware wallet?
Be safe and buy them direct from the manufacturer. (Not just through some random on eBay, Amazon, etc)
(If you are just starting out, I would just recommend a Ledger Nano S)
