#CryptoSecurity101 Cryptocurrency security is paramount. The core principle is "not your keys, not your crypto." This means controlling your private keys, which unlock your funds.

Wallet types:

* Hot wallets (e.g., MetaMask, exchange wallets) are connected to the internet, convenient for active trading, but more susceptible to online threats.

* Cold wallets (e.g., Ledger, Trezor) store assets offline, offering superior security for long-term holdings.

Essential practices:

* Secure your seed phrase: This 12- or 24-word phrase is your ultimate backup. Store it offline, never digitally.

* Enable 2FA: Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your accounts.

* Beware of phishing: Always double-check URLs and sender identities before clicking links or entering credentials.

* Don't share private keys: Ever.

* Use strong, unique passwords.

Vigilance and understanding these basics are crucial to protecting your digital assets.
