**#CryptoSecurity101: Protect Your Assets**
Crypto security is paramount because transactions are irreversible. Core principles:
1. **Private Keys = Your Crypto:** Whoever controls the keys controls the funds. **Never share them!**
2. **Secure Storage:** Use reputable wallets. For significant holdings, a **hardware wallet** (cold storage) is safest. Exchange wallets are convenient but riskier ("not your keys, not your crypto").
3. **Guarding Secrets:** Protect your **seed phrase/recovery phrase** (usually 12-24 words) above all else. Write it down offline, *never* digitally. It's the master key to restore your wallet.
4. **Vigilance:** Beware of phishing scams, fake websites, and "too good to be true" offers. **Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)** everywhere, ideally using an app (not SMS)
