#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. 🔐🚀
