– The Basics of Staying Safe in Crypto

The world of cryptocurrency is full of opportunity—but only if you stay secure. Whether you're new or experienced, these core tips can help protect your digital assets:

1. Don’t Store Your Coins on Exchanges

Exchanges are convenient for trading but risky for long-term storage. Use a hardware wallet (like Ledger or Trezor) or at least a non-custodial wallet where you control the private keys.

2. Your Private Key Is Sacred

Anyone with access to your private key or seed phrase can take full control of your funds. Never share it—not even with “support agents” or helpful strangers online.

3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Protect your exchange, wallet, and email accounts with 2FA (Google Authenticator, Authy). Avoid SMS-based 2FA if possible—it’s less secure.

4. Watch Out for Fake Links

Scammers often create fake websites, wallets, or cloned exchanges. Always double-check URLs and bookmark official sites to avoid phishing attacks.

5. Know Where You’re Investing

Never send crypto to a project you haven’t fully researched. The rule of DYOR (Do Your Own Research) exists for a reason.

Security Isn’t Optional—It’s Essential

Crypto gives you financial freedom—but with that comes full responsibility. If you don’t control your keys, you don’t control your coins.
