🔐 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.
