Hot vs. Cold Wallets & How to Stay SAFU

When it comes to crypto, owning your assets also means protecting them. Letโ€™s break down the two main types of wallets and how to keep your funds safe.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Hot Wallets

These are connected to the internet โ€” think mobile apps, desktop wallets, or exchange wallets (like Binance). Theyโ€™re convenient for active trading and quick access.

Pros: Fast, easy to use

Cons: More vulnerable to hacks and phishing attacks

โ„๏ธ Cold Wallets

These are offline wallets like hardware devices (e.g., Ledger, Trezor) or even paper wallets. Since they arenโ€™t connected to the internet, they offer stronger protection.

Pros: High security, safe from online threats

Cons: Less convenient, easy to misplace if not handled carefully

๐Ÿ” My Security Setup:

โœ”๏ธ Use a cold wallet for long-term holdings

โœ”๏ธ Use a hot wallet with 2FA for small, frequent trades

โœ”๏ธ Store seed phrases offline and NEVER share them

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Best Practices:

โœ… Enable 2FA on all accounts

โœ… Beware of phishing links & fake apps

โœ… Regularly update devices & apps

โœ… Withdraw to cold storage if youโ€™re not trading actively

Stay informed. Stay alert. Stay SAFU.
