š Basics of Security in Crypto
The crypto world brings financial freedom, but also full responsibility. Here are the basic rules on how to protect yourself and your digital wallet:
š¹ 1. Donāt leave crypto on exchanges
Exchanges are useful for trading but are not a safe place for long-term storage. Use hardware (cold) wallets for larger amounts.
š¹ 2. Activate 2FA (two-factor authentication)
Without 2FA, your account is like an open door to a thief. Itās best to use an app like Google Authenticator, not SMS.
š¹ 3. Keep your seed phrase as a treasure
Your āseedā is the key to your crypto assets. Write it down on paper, never store it in digital form or on the cloud.
š¹ 4. Donāt click on suspicious links or āgiftsā
Phishing scams are everywhere. If someone sends you a āfree airdrop,ā āquick profit,ā or asks for your wallet ā itās a scam.
š¹ 5. Use unique passwords
For every account, use a strong, unique password. A password manager can help if there are too many.
š§ In crypto, you are your own banker
