$BTC Let's start with the basics that can save your ass

🔐 Hardware wallet = the first line of defense

Ledger or Trezor – choose something that keeps funds away from the internet.

✅ Buy ONLY from official websites

✅ Verify the destination address on the device screen

✅ Treat this device like your most precious child

📦 Pro tip: Also consider a metal backup for your seed phrase – e.g., Cryptosteel. Paper burns, but steel lasts for years.

📋 Organization = peace of mind

wallets are divided:

– Main (Ledger) – only cold storage

– Farming wallets – daily DeFi

– Burner wallets – tests, experiments

– Regularly transfer farming profits to the main wallet (like a digital savings account)

👥 Emergency plan: Make sure someone close knows you have crypto and how to access it in case of an accident.

🧠 Seed phrase = sanctity

✅ Only paper - preferably durable

✅ Copies in different places: safe, family

❌ ZERO photos, cloud notes

❌ ZERO storage on computer

💻 Equipment like the Holy Grail

If possible:

– Separate computer/browser for crypto

– Regular system and cache cleaning

– Antivirus + malware scan

– No “mixing” daily life with DeFi

🌍 Using Wi-Fi in a hotel, café, or airport?

👉 VPN is a must-have. It protects your transactions and location.

⚠️ Don't click on strange links – even if sent by a “pretty girl from Instagram” 😍

🙀Beware of fake websites!

– Changed addresses (e.g., app.uniswap.llc)

– “Fake” airdrops

– Scams that look too good to be true

Stay safe and don’t let yourself get robbed 💪
