Crypto security isn’t optional—it’s **mandatory** if you want to avoid getting wrecked by hackers faster than you can say “Where’s my wallet?”
- **Use cold wallets** (hardware wallets) instead of leaving funds on exchanges, because if an exchange folds, your funds go *poof*.
- **Beware of phishing scams**—random links in your inbox claiming you’ve won free Bitcoin? Nope. Just scammers in disguise.
- **Keep your private keys PRIVATE.** No exceptions. Giving away your private key is like giving strangers your home address and telling them when you're out of town.
Crypto is an exciting world, but **only the secure survive**.
