🔒 Basics of Cryptocurrency Security

Your security in the crypto world is more important than any short-term profits!

Here are the most important steps to keep your wallets and money safe:

1. Choose a reliable wallet

Hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor are better for long-term savings.

For small amounts, use a trusted and open-source application wallet.

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Use apps like Google Authenticator or Authy instead of text messages.

Do not rely solely on email; phishing attacks are common.

3. Keep your recovery phrases (Seed Phrase) offline

Write them down on paper and store them in a safe place (like a home safe).

Never share them with anyone or any application.

4. Beware of suspicious links and phishing messages

Do not click on links from unofficial sources.

Always verify the website address before entering your information.

5. Set “security levels” for your wallet

Keep daily trading amounts in a hot wallet.

Keep the majority of your assets in a cold wallet.

6. Regularly update software and browsers

Ensure you are on the latest version of your operating system and wallet application.

Vulnerabilities are patched in security updates.

7. Use strong and unique passwords

Consisting of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Do not reuse the same password across multiple sites.

8. Monitor smart networks and gas fees
