Crypto Security 101:
Keeping your crypto safe is crucial. Unlike banks, if you lose your crypto, it’s likely gone forever.
Must-Know Basics:
Use Cold Wallets:
Store long-term crypto in hardware wallets (e.g., Ledger, Trezor) that stay offline.
Hot wallets (online) are riskier.
Never Share Private Keys or Seed Phrases:
These give full access to your funds. Anyone who has them can steal everything.
Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication):
Adds an extra layer of protection on exchanges and wallets.
Beware of Scams & Phishing:
Double-check URLs, avoid suspicious links, and never trust random DMs offering “help” or “investments.”
Keep Software Updated:
Wallets, antivirus, and devices should always be current to avoid vulnerabilities.
Use Reputable Exchanges:
Stick to well-known, regulated platforms with a history of good security.
Tip:
“Not your keys, not your coins.” If you don’t control the keys, the crypto isn’t truly yours.
