How to Ensure the Security of Cryptocurrency Assets: A Comparison of Hot Wallets and Cold Wallets**

In the world of cryptocurrency, asset security is the top priority for every holder. Hot wallets and cold wallets are two main storage methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Hot wallets (such as wallet applications on mobile phones or computers) are convenient for daily transactions, but they are vulnerable to hacking due to being connected to the internet. Cold wallets (such as hardware wallets or paper wallets) store private keys offline, providing higher security, making them suitable for long-term holding of large assets, but they are less convenient for transactions.

In terms of personal security settings, it is recommended to combine the advantages of both: keep a small amount of assets in a hot wallet for daily transactions, while larger assets should be stored in a cold wallet. Additionally, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), regularly backing up private keys, using strong passwords, and avoiding operating wallets on public networks are all basic security measures.
