How to Ensure the Security of Cryptocurrency Assets: A Comparison of Hot Wallets and Cold Wallets**
In the world of cryptocurrencies, 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 are vulnerable to hacking due to being online. Cold wallets (such as hardware wallets or paper wallets) store private keys offline, providing higher security, suitable for long-term holding of large assets, but are not as convenient for transactions.
