🔐 Key Aspects of Crypto Security
1. Private Key Protection
Your private key is like your password to access your crypto.
Never share it. Use secure wallets (hardware wallets preferred) to store them.
2. Wallet Types
Hot Wallets (connected to the internet): Convenient but more vulnerable.
Cold Wallets (offline storage): Safer for long-term storage (e.g., Ledger, Trezor).
3. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Always enable 2FA on exchanges and wallets to add an extra layer of security.
4. Phishing Awareness
Beware of fake websites, emails, and messages pretending to be exchanges or wallet providers.
