#CryptoSecurity101 🔐 Crypto Security 101: Protect Your Digital Assets

Getting into crypto is exciting—but keeping your assets safe is essential. Here's a beginner-friendly guide to protecting yourself in Web3:

🔑 1. Use a Secure Wallet

Hot Wallets (e.g. MetaMask): Easy access, but more vulnerable to hacks.

Cold Wallets (e.g. Ledger, Trezor): Offline storage = maximum security.

💡 Tip: Keep large amounts in cold storage. Use hot wallets for small, daily use.

🧠 2. Never Share Your Seed Phrase

Your seed phrase = your keys = your crypto.

Anyone with it can drain your wallet.

✅ Write it down offline.

❌ Never store it in the cloud or take screenshots.

🧪 3. Beware of Scams

Fake airdrops, phishing sites, support impersonators… they're everywhere.

Always double-check links, especially before connecting your wallet.

🔗 Bookmark official sites.

🧱 4. Use 2FA & Strong Passwords

Protect exchange accounts with 2FA (authenticator apps).

Avoid SMS-based 2FA.

Use a password manager for complex, unique passwords.

🕵️‍♂️ 5. DYOR – Do Your Own Research

Before investing, learn about the project.

Watch out for too-good-to-be-true promises, pump-and-dump schemes, or no team transparency.

💡 Crypto gives you freedom—but also full responsibility.

Take control, stay cautious, and never stop learning. 🔐🚀
