#CryptoSecurity101 Crypto Trading Fundamentals Deep Dive #6: #CryptoSecurity101

In crypto, “Not your keys, not your coins” isn’t just a meme — it’s a survival rule. Whether you're trading daily or just HODLing, security is non-negotiable.

💡 Hot vs. Cold Wallets — What’s the Difference?

Hot Wallets: Connected to the internet (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet). Great for frequent access and DeFi interactions — but more vulnerable to hacks.

Cold Wallets: Offline storage (e.g., Ledger, Trezor). Ideal for long-term storage and larger amounts — nearly hack-proof when used correctly.

🔄 My Setup

I use a hybrid strategy:

Hot wallet for day-to-day transactions, NFT mints, and DeFi moves

Cold wallet for long-term holds and high-value assets

This balances convenience with robust security.

🛡️ My Top Security Practices

Enable 2FA everywhere — not just exchanges

Never share or store seed phrases online (no screenshots, no cloud storage!)

Use hardware wallets for anything you don’t want to lose

Bookmark official sites to avoid phishing

Regularly review wallet permissions (especially after using dApps)

✅ Bonus Tip: Treat your crypto wallet like a bank vault — not a casual PayPal account. A little paranoia goes a long way in Web3.

👉 What’s your security setup look like?
