#CryptoSecurity101 🔒 Your Crypto Security Bible: Hot Wallets vs. Cold Wallets (+ SAFU Tips!)

Protect your assets like a pro in Web3 🌐

Security isn’t optional in crypto—it’s ESSENTIAL. Safeguarding your private keys 🗝️ and choosing the right wallet can make or break your crypto journey. Let’s break it down:

❄️ Cold Wallets (Hardware/Offline)

→ Like a vault: Store crypto offline (e.g., Ledger, Trezor).

✅ Pros: Hack-proof, ideal for large/long-term holdings.

❌ Cons: Less convenient for frequent trades.

🔥 Hot Wallets (Software/Online)

→ Like a wallet: Connected to the internet (e.g., Trust Wallet, MetaMask).

✅ Pros: Easy access, great for small/day-to-day funds.

❌ Cons: Vulnerable to online threats.

🛡️ My Strategy? MIX BOTH!

- Cold**: 90% of assets (HODL gems 💎).

- Hot: 10% for trading/gas fees ⛽.

🔐 Top Security Practices (Stay #SAFU!):

1️⃣ Never share seed phrases (not even Binance will ask!).

2️⃣ Enable 2FA on all exchanges/wallets.

3️⃣ Verify contracts before approving transactions.

4️⃣ Use strong passwords + password manager.

5️⃣ Bookmark legit sites—avoid Google links!
