When it comes to protecting your crypto, cold storage is like keeping your treasure in a locked vault instead of an online wallet.

❄️ What is Cold Storage?

Cold storage is a method of storing cryptocurrencies offline, away from internet access.

This is often done using special hardware wallets (like Ledger or Trezor), or even printed-out keys (called paper wallets).

🔒 Why Use Cold Storage?

Since cold storage is not connected to the internet, it’s much harder for hackers or malware to steal your funds. It protects your assets from:

🚫 Phishing attacks

🚫 Exchange hacks

🚫 Malware or spyware

🚫 Unauthorized remote access

💡 Cold storage = Maximum security.

🆚 Hot Wallet vs Cold Storage

🧠 Analogy:

Using cold storage is like keeping your gold in a safe deposit box, while using a hot wallet is like carrying cash in your pocket — convenient but riskier.
