#CryptoSecurity101 Hot wallets are connected to the internet (e.g., mobile apps, browser extensions), making them convenient for frequent trading but more vulnerable to hacks. Cold wallets (like hardware wallets or paper wallets) are offline, offering strong security for long-term storage.

I use a mix of both: hot wallets for small, active trading amounts, and cold wallets for long-term holdings. This balances convenience and security.

To manage and secure my crypto:

I store large amounts in hardware wallets (e.g., Ledger, Trezor).

I use multi-factor authentication (2FA) on exchanges.

I never store seed phrases online—only offline and in multiple secure locations.

Best practices to stay SAFU:

Use cold wallets for savings, hot wallets for spending.

Never share your private key or seed phrase.

Double-check URLs and contracts to avoid phishing.

Keep software and firmware updated.

Use reputable wallets and never click unknown links.

Security is personal responsibility in crypto—protect your keys, protect your coins.
