🔐 #CryptoSecurity101 — Why Self-Custody Is No Longer Optional

In 2024, I trusted a CEX with everything.

One morning… withdrawals paused.

“Temporarily,” they said.

⏳ Took 3 months to recover partial funds.

That was my wake-up call.

If it’s not your keys, it’s not your crypto.

🛡 My Core Security Rules:

1️⃣ Use cold storage for long-term holdings

→ Ledger, Trezor — pick one, learn it, use it

→ Trust yourself, not a platform

2️⃣ Never reuse passwords

→ Use a password manager — 1 hack ≠ portfolio gone

3️⃣ Stay paranoid (the smart way)

→ Phishing links, fake airdrops, DMs from “support” — all red flags

Crypto security isn’t just hardware wallets or 2FA —

🔁 It’s a mindset.

The future of finance is decentralized.

With freedom comes responsibility.

🔒 Don’t wait to learn the hard way.

Lock it down now. Your future self will thank you.
