Yes, there are some uses. I’m not convinced that you have any understanding of the links in your first comment and I am certain that that it was a negative contribution to this site.
If you really are doing this for such long term plans, you should be concerned about quantum computers and double your key length. That’s why NSA doesn’t use 128 bits. Added: but in the particular application of bitcoin, quantum computers break it thoroughly.

Well, that’s harsh. My main intent with the links was to show that the system for picking the words must be unpredictable, and that password reuse is harmful. I can see now that 8-word passphrases are useless if the key is too short or there’s some other vulnerability, so that choice probably gives us little more than a false sense of security.

This is news to me. However, I had heard that there are only 122 bits due to the use of RIPEMD-160 as part of the address generation mechanism.

Rudeness doesn’t help people change their minds. Please elaborate what you mean by this. Even if he’s wrong, the following discussion could be a positive contribution.
