Crypto gives you full control over your money, but that control comes with responsibility. Unlike a bank, there is no password reset hotline when things go wrong.
The rules
1. Never share your seed phrase with anyone, ever. 2. Write it on paper, not in cloud notes. 3. Use a hardware wallet for long-term holdings. 4. Double-check addresses character by character. 5. Send a small test amount first. 6. Beware of giveaway scams; nobody doubles your crypto. 7. Keep software updated. 8. Use unique passwords with a manager. 9. Enable two-factor authentication everywhere. 10. If an offer feels too good to be true, it is.
Verify before you send
Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Taking thirty extra seconds to verify a wallet address has saved more crypto than any security product ever made.
