How to keep your cryptocurrency safe

[void]

Is it possible to brute force a seed, knowing the first 12 words out of 24?

probably not at the moment but the point is that this practice (amongst other disadvantages) weakens your security protocol... and for no good reason with better alternatives available

If im not wrong one BIP39 has 2048 words. The words can appear multiple times. So each missing word is 2048 guesses * by the missing words * by possibilites.

There are seeds that only have 12 words. The new standard is 24 words.

2048^23 is quite a good safety net

I believe that the SEEDS are secure as they are right now. Some must be paranoid to believe anything else.
