🔐 1. Use Secure Wallets
Hardware Wallets (Cold Storage): Best for long-term storage (e.g., Ledger, Trezor).
Software Wallets: Convenient but more vulnerable (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet).
Never store large amounts on exchanges.

🛡️ 2. Protect Your Private Keys & Seed Phrases
Never share your seed phrase.
Write it down and store it offline (avoid digital storage like cloud or notes apps).
If someone has your private key or seed, they have your crypto.
