๐ Keep Your Crypto #SAFU: CZโs Top Security Hacks
๐ก The 3 Golden Rules
Stop Thieves ๐
Guard your private keys like your life depends on itโbecause financially, it kinda does.
Donโt Lose Access ๐
Backups arenโt optional. No backup = no recovery = no coins.
Plan for the Worst ๐
Make sure trusted people can access your crypto if something happens to you.
๐ง Self-Custody: Be Your Own Bank
Cold Wallets Are King ๐
Use a hardware wallet (like Trezor) or a dedicated phone that never touches Wi-Fi.
Backup Like a Spy ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
Encrypt your keys and store them on multiple fireproof USBs. Keep copies in secure, geographically separate locations. Paper backups? Risky.
Plan for Inheritance ๐
Set up a deadmanโs switch (e.g., Googleโs Inactive Account Manager) to send encrypted instructions to your heirs if you go MIA.
โ ๏ธ Heads Up: Some new hardware wallets (like recent Ledgers) may offer online key backup. Always research before trusting.
๐ก๏ธ Exchange Safety: Trust, but Verify
Stick with Giants
Top-tier platforms like Binance invest heavily in security. Avoid unknown exchanges offering unrealistic returns.
Secure Your Account ๐
2FA > SMS: Use an app like Google Authenticatorโor go next-level with a Yubikey.
Enable Withdrawal Whitelists: Funds can only leave to pre-approved addresses.
Use a Password Manager: Never reuse passwords. Tools like 1Password or KeePass are your friends.
Avoid Phishing Traps ๐งจ
Bookmark Binance. Type it out manually. And never trust links in emails or DMs.
โ๏ธ The Perfect Balance
New to Crypto?
Keep 80% on a trusted exchange and 20% in a simple wallet like Trust Wallet.
More Advanced?
Flip that ratio. Cold storage for HODLing, exchanges for active trading.
โ Stay #SAFU
No system is invincibleโbut smart choices cut your risk dramatically. Build strong habits, protect your stack, and sleep easy.
