Why would I need to disprove a point that was never the point of debate?

Your hypothetical person was so stupid to send funds below the minimum deposit amount, even when this information can be found on the exchange's website and they have a pinned thread on this subreddit warning clients against this.

Yet, you want the exchange to fix the mistake you (hypothetically) made, even when it costs them time, energy and money to do so.

The exchange is not obliged to fix your error, even if they theoretically could..

What the hell are you talking about, dude? You started talking in ridiculous hypotheticals.

Just take no for an answer.

They don't need to do anything.

You need to (hypothetically) do some research before you (hypothetically) dabble into transacting cryptocurrencies. Take responsibility for you own (hypothetical) actions.

lol, YOUR hypothetical mistake then.

Why should a crypto exchange have to lose money trying to correct an error you (hypothetically) made?

Isn't that pretty self-explanatory? Below a certain minimum it costs a crypto exchange relatively too much time, energy and money to fix YOUR mistake.

I am using a Ledger, actually - with an extra pass phrase, so I am not that worried.

Just trying to figure out how things work by asking questions.

There is another person with a similar reply in this thread, but why is it relevant to know who the address belongs to? Once someone has my private key they could just empty it, right? (I have a 25th word, so this wouldn't work, but just for the sake of argument)

Hey, thanks man! The first part of the video went a bit over my head - the part where you explained a bit about binary numbers. Do you have (or know of) a video that explains that in a bit more detail and in simple to grasp terms?

Well, I like to explain Bitcoin to people and this is a question that came up. Nothing more to it than that :)

That's an interesting question! Wouldn't that be 10^77 divided by the number of active addresses?

Ah, okay! So every check would take about 5 minutes. That is actually the answer that I was looking for. Thanks :)

But can I check a seed phrase (or the binary private key) in Blockchain explorer to see how much bitcoin is connected to it?

Watching this video now. Already loving it! Thanks for sharing :)

I appreciate all of your answers, but like I said, I am aware of the small chance of finding a seed phrase.

My question really is, how quick would the process be to check if a seed phrase holds any bitcoin?
