#STAYSAFU Stay SAFU, always!
Keep these quick tips in mind to protect your crypto and your sanity:
**1. Use Reputable Platforms**
Stick to well-known, regulated exchanges. If you're using DeFi, **double-check the contract and project history**.
**2. Enable 2FA Everywhere**
No excuses—protect your accounts with Google Authenticator or a hardware key. SMS 2FA is better than nothing, but not ideal.
**3. Don’t Click Sketchy Links**
Phishing is everywhere—**triple-check URLs**, especially with wallet extensions like MetaMask.
**4. Cold Wallets for Real Bags**
Keep long-term holdings in a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). “Not your keys, not your coins.”
**5. Avoid Overleveraging**
High leverage = high liquidation risk. Don’t let a single candle wick wipe you out.
**6. Don’t Trade on Emotion**
Zoom out, breathe, and stick to your plan.
**7. DYOR** (Do Your Own Research)
Before FOMO-ing into a token, ask:
- What’s the utility?
- Who’s backing it?
- Is the team legit?

If it sounds too good to be true—it’s probably a rug.
**Stay sharp. Stay humble. Stay SAFU.** Want a checklist or toolkit for crypto security?
