🔒 Hot vs. Cold Wallets: How I Keep My Crypto SAFU (And You Should Too!) 🔒

It's clear: **security is everything** in crypto. Let’s break down the key differences between hot and cold wallets—and how to use both wisely.

**🔥 Hot Wallets (Connected to Internet)**

- **Pros**: Fast access, great for daily trading (e.g., Binance Web3 Wallet, MetaMask).

- **Cons**: Vulnerable to hacks, phishing, and malware.

**❄️ Cold Wallets (Offline Storage)**

- **Pros**: Unhackable if used right (e.g., Ledger, Trezor).

- **Cons**: Less convenient for frequent transactions.

**🛡️ My Security Setup**

1. **Cold Storage for Long-Term HODL**: 90% of my crypto stays offline.

2. **Hot Wallet with Limits**: Only keep what I need for trading.

3. **2FA + Whitelisting**: Binance’s withdrawal whitelist saves me from address poisoning scams.

4. **Hardware Wallet for DeFi**: Use a Ledger with MetaMask for added protection.

**🚨 SAFU Best Practices**

- **Never share seed phrases** (no, not even with "support").

- **Bookmark DApps** to avoid fake sites.

- **Regularly update firmware** on hardware wallets.
