I just saw a warning from a well-known figure in the crypto industry about wallet updates. It turns out that when software changes derivation paths, it can lead to real problems. There was a case where, after an update, old addresses became inaccessible, and the person lost access to their Bitcoin. Quite a scary situation, to be honest.



He emphasizes that such updates are indeed dangerous and require maximum caution. If you have a self-custody wallet, you should be especially careful before any software updates. Maybe it's better to test first with a small amount? How do you feel about such risks?
