**Crypto Security 101**
1. **Private Keys = Money** – Never share your seed phrase or private keys. Store them offline (hardware wallet or paper).
2. **Use Hardware Wallets** – Ledger/Trezor are safer than hot wallets for large holdings.
3. **Beware of Phishing** – Double-check URLs, avoid clicking links in DMs/emails.
4. **Enable 2FA** – Use authenticator apps (Google Auth, Authy), not SMS.
5. **Verify Contracts/Addresses** – Always confirm recipient addresses and smart contracts before transacting.
6. **Avoid Public Wi-Fi** – Use VPNs for added security.
7. **Stay Updated** – Keep software/firmware updated to patch vulnerabilities.
8. **DYOR** – Don’t trust "too good to be true" offers—scams are rampant.
