CryptoSecurity101: How to Protect Your Assets in 2025
There is no tech support in crypto. If you lose your private key — goodbye money. Here’s a basic checklist for protection:
✅ Use cold wallets
Store long-term assets on hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor). Online wallets — only for active trading.
✅ Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Enable 2FA on exchanges and in apps. Preferably — via Google Authenticator, not SMS.
✅ Strong passwords
Password = long, unique, password manager to the rescue.
✅ Beware of phishing
Double-check website addresses. Never click links from emails and messages.
✅ Backups of seed phrases
Write them down on paper, store in a secure place. Don’t take photos, don’t upload to the cloud.
✅ Stay informed about new threats
Social engineering, malicious extensions, fake airdrops — the market is changing fast.
