#StaySAFU
In the early days of my crypto journey, I fell victim to a phishing scam disguised as a legitimate wallet connection prompt. It perfectly mimicked a well-known DeFi platform, and without thinking twice, I connected my wallet—resulting in a significant loss. It was a harsh but invaluable lesson.
That experience drilled in one of the most critical truths about crypto: security is everything. Since then, I’ve developed a much more cautious approach. I avoid random links, verify every website and app I interact with, and always double-check URLs before connecting any wallet. I also store long-term holdings on hardware wallets and keep my seed phrases strictly offline.
