Switching from Ledger to ColdCard - two questions

so i want to move away from ledger to the coldcard. i do have some alts but ive decided i would feel keeping my btc on an open source btc only device. two questions though:

1) can i use my ledger seed on the cold card? i know it's not *quite* as secure, but due to the way I had managed to store my seed over the years, it would be quite preferable to use this seed. it took a while to get my cold storage security right and it would be a pain in the ass to use a new seed.

2) i dont quite understand the coldcard encrypted backup. why would i need a backup with an additional 12 words if i already have my seed secured? the seed phrase is the backup... if my coldcard got destroyed, i could simply restore my seed word in a new cold card or on any wallet, yes?

also - i guess i would like to be reassured that the coldcard is not too difficult to use. i'm not tech-ey per say but i'm pretty capable. i'm technical enough that i used a raspberry pi to build a mynode, got it up and running and seemingly working fine from the dashboard, but can't seem to get it to connect to any lightning wallets, lol...

Bitcoin is the only team I root for

Never really was one for watching sports, but I've come to realize that investment reasons aside believing in bitcoin is synonymous with "cheering my favorite team on". At the end of the day if bitcoin is going through big dips or rallying I'm team BTC all the way.

Thinking about buying Bitocin

Hello!

Would it be advisable to buy Bitcoin now if I think it coulde be worth more in the future?

Also what are some good and safe platforms for that, like Saxo Bank or Revolut?

Thanks in regards!

Idea for a BTC earning platform (fiverr, upwork, mturk).. Thoughts/suggestions?

I’m a web developer, and I’ve been prototyping a site where users can earn bitcoin through gigs (like upwork) small services (like fiverr) and microtasking (like mturk). Since acquiring paying customers could be hard at the start, I’m also planning a section for web-based games where users could earn small amounts of BTC paid for by ad revenue.

I’m still not sure about the best way to handle payouts - My thought is users could withdraw their balance at any time to another app that has more robust trading/wallet/currency exchange features like coinbase. But I’m not sure which apps (if any) have APIs to support automatic transfers.

I need to do more research but before I get too far I wanted to run it by the community for thoughts. Good concept? Bad concept? Already been done? I didn’t find any sites like this at a cursory glance.

What are some examples of highly successful volunteer-only open-source projects, besides GNU and Linux?

It is the exception rather than the norm for open-source projects to rent-seek. I think that having a highly-visible list of successful open-source projects that don't claim a cut of their users' revenue will be helpful in this ridiculous IFP debate.
