I ignored the security of my wallet... until it was too late
One of my most painful mistakes was trusting convenience more than security. I used the same password for multiple platforms, did not enable two-step verification, and left my funds on exchanges without backing up my private keys. Everything seemed normal, until one day, I could no longer log in.
A suspicious email, a wrong click, and I lost access to an account with a good sum of crypto assets. No one could help me. The mistake was mine, and it was costly.
From that moment on, I understood that in the crypto world, you are your own bank, but also your own security guard.
Today I follow these basic rules:
🔐 I use 2FA (two-factor authentication) on all my accounts
🧾 I never share my private keys
📲 I use a cold wallet or hardware wallet for important funds
⚠️ I always verify links and domains before logging in
🛡️ I update my passwords periodically
