#CryptoSecurity101

For newcomers and long-time users in the cryptocurrency world, below are the basics that are extremely important to keep your digital assets safe:

⸻

🔐 1. Always keep your private key secret

• Never share your private key or seed phrase (wallet recovery phrase) with anyone.

• Store offline (write it down on paper, keep it in a safe) – DO NOT store it in email, phone notes, or the cloud.

⸻

🧊 2. Use cold wallets for long-term storage

• Cold wallets like Ledger or Trezor do not connect directly to the internet, helping to avoid the risk of being hacked.

• Only use hot wallets for daily transactions with small amounts.

⸻

🛡️ 3. Two-factor authentication (2FA)

• Always enable 2FA for your exchange accounts (Google Authenticator is better than SMS).

• Do not reuse passwords across multiple platforms.
