#CryptoSecurity101 Hot wallets are like your everyday cash in your pocket – super handy for quick buys and trades because they're always online. Think of them as the MetaMask on your phone or computer. The downside? They're easier targets for online bad guys.

They're way more secure for your serious crypto stash because they're not connected to the internet, but they're a bit more fiddly for daily use.
