#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!):

2️⃣ Enable 2FA on all exchanges/wallets.
3️⃣ Verify contracts before approving transactions.
4️⃣ Use strong passwords + password manager.
