#CryptoSecurity101 In the decentralized world, you are your own bank… and also your only defense.

Security in crypto is not an option, it's a survival strategy.

💼 Hot wallet or cold wallet?

🔥 Hot Wallets

* Always connected to the Internet.

* Fast and convenient for daily trading.

* Examples: MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Binance Wallet.

* ⚠️ Risk: Vulnerable to malware, phishing, and exploits.

❄️ Cold Wallets

* Completely offline.

* Ideal for long-term storage.

* Examples: Ledger, Trezor, Paper Wallets.

* ✅ Maximum security against unauthorized access.

💡 I use a combination:

* Hot wallet for quick operations.

* Cold wallet for long-term holdings.

🛡️ How do I manage and secure my crypto assets?

🔑 I never share my private key or seed phrase. Never.

🧠 I use 2FA and unique passwords for each platform.

📁 I make encrypted backups of my seed phrases, stored in different physical locations.

🚫 I avoid clicking on suspicious links, even if they seem urgent.

🧪 I verify contracts and pages before connecting my wallet to any dApp.

✅ Good practices to keep you SAFU:

1. Do not use public Wi-Fi for transactions.

2. Always double-check addresses before sending funds.

3. Do not connect your wallet to sites you haven't audited.

4. Conduct mental drills: If I lose access today, can I recover my funds?
