How I Keep My Crypto SAFU 🔒**

Security is the foundation of Web3. Whether you’re a trader, HODLer, or DeFi enthusiast, protecting your assets is non-negotiable. Here’s my approach:

### **🔥❄️ Hot vs. Cold Wallets: My Strategy**

- **Hot Wallets** (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet): Great for daily transactions, DeFi, and trading due to convenience. *But*—always limit funds to what you’d afford to lose.

- **Cold Wallets** (e.g., Ledger, Trezor): My go-to for long-term holdings. Offline storage = zero exposure to hacks.

**I use both:** Hot for liquidity, cold for HODLing. Balance is key!

### **🔐 How I Secure My Assets**

1. **Private Keys**: *Never* stored digitally. Written on steel plates (fire/water-proof) and split via Shamir’s Secret Sharing.

2. **2FA**: Always enabled (Google Auth > SMS).

3. **Whitelisting**: Addresses locked on exchanges for withdrawals.

4. **Regular Audits**: Check wallet permissions
