BIP39 writing prompt (for mnemonic retention)
With Christmas coming around and the bull market upon us, I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone one about the art of mnemonic memorization. The idea is you take a BIP39 seed, then make a poem, story, limerick, or song using the words to help you remember. If you gift bitcoin, you can include the writing with the seed-card you provide to help the recipient remember as well. If you want to play along, go to Ian's BIP39 page and generate a valid seed mnemonic then see if you can't create a blurb of text that includes all the words.

How to make a custom private key [in python] and import it in a Bitcoin wallet?
If you want to use a password like this consider a key derivation function like pbkdf2. (This does not make it safe but you begin to stray away from old brain wallets that are all compromised already see https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer )

What is your view on brain wallets.
Your wording attempts to fool people into using brainwallets by appealing to ego. Nobody has the ability to make a passphrase from their brain with sufficient entropy to be secure. Stop promoting insecure methods https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

Do people still use brain wallets?
Brainflayer is still running, but does not find new keys because the whole world switched to deterministic wallets https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

where can I download software on PC to brute force bitcoin? just for the fun to try
Brainflayer discovers single keys created by hashing low-entropy "brain passwords". It pre-dates HD wallets, pre-dates SegWit https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

How is Bitcoin 'unconfiscatable' if you should not use a brainwallet?
Brainwallet normally means something easy to remember, and therefore easy to brute force. See brainflayer, a tool for stealing coins from brainwallets https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer
-
Downside of brainwallet for long term hodling?
People don't talk about brain wallets because nobody uses the same definition. The commonly accepted definition, from when they were popular, is "easy to remember, easy to steal". See brainflayer https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer
