As we move deeper into an AI-driven, crypto-centered world, cyber theft and phishing scams are raking in billions every year.
So, before you even think about funding your crypto account—lock in your digital defenses.
“You wouldn’t walk into a dark alley with cash in your hand.
So why do it online without a VPN Friend?”
Step One: Get a VPN
Your number one defense against cyber attacks is a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
Now, if you’ve never used one, or you’re the type to say “VPNs don’t really work”—this message is especially for you.
No to VPN 😴
You're entitled to your opinion...
but your opinion is subjective — which means it’s not always rooted in fact.
A smart way of saying “I think you’re stupid”
Yes to VPN 🔥
Let’s break it down:
Every time you log into a platform, your device sends out a signal. That signal says:
“Hi, I’m using this phone, from this location, on this IP address.”
Not shady at all, right?
Now imagine doing that on a sketchy airdrop site or with your wallet open.
Yeah.
So you see, without protection, that signal can be intercepted—just like a phone call being overheard by nosy neighbors through thin walls.
That "conversation" could include your login credentials, Gmail access, crypto wallet keys—you name it.
Now imagine if that room was soundproof.
That’s what a VPN does. It encrypts your data so no one else can listen in while your information travels from point A to point B.
It’s wild how many people don’t know how vulnerable they are. I was one of them—until I wised up.
Why a VPN is More Than a Fancy Tech Add-On:
It keeps your data private
Stops hackers from intercepting your info
Protects your crypto, emails, and personal details
Adds an extra layer between you and shady actors
You might be thinking, “But VPNs are expensive!”
True, the top-tier ones charge a premium—because they know how valuable they are.
But don’t worry:
There are free and reliable options that offer strong basic protection.
Recommended VPNs:
NordVPN (premium, great features)
ProtonVPN (free plan available)
360VPN
*Microsoft Edge (built-in VPN setting)
Brave Browser VPN (also built-in)
Tip: If you already use a browser with VPN capabilities, go into Settings and turn it on.
Crypto-Specific Tip (US Users Especially):
Sometimes, your region can block access to platforms like Binance.
To get around this, use a VPN that allows you to select your location (aka crypto-safe zones).
Look for VPNs that support Obfuscated Servers—they hide the fact that you’re even using a VPN, helping bypass blocks from banks, exchanges, and platforms.
Why You’re Safe (for Now):
The truth is, we're nobodies (no offense), and that’s a good thing.
You’re not holding 100BTC. You’re not a whale. You’re not even a guppy.
So chances are, nobody’s putting in hours of effort to crack your 0.000000001 BTC wallet.
But that doesn’t mean you stay exposed—even small accounts get drained. A simple free VPN can save your skin.
This section will be updated bi-weekly with cybersecurity and crypto protection tips to help you stay ahead.
🛡️ Not a financial advisor.
🧠 Not an influencer.
📖 Matthew 4:19
Yeah I know this post might sound a little rough, but it's real talk.
I’ll get better with every post—just like anything else in life.
I’m not the smartest, strongest, or fastest. My weapon is endurance.
We do this every day, we get better every day.
No call to action. No “follow for more.”
You decide.
