The Money is Yours, the Security Too.
In a market where $BTC is at $92K, the main point of failure is you, not the code. As an analyst, I have seen thousands lose their funds due to basic oversights. Vigilance is the most valuable asset.
Here are the 5 Unbreakable Rules that every serious holder and active trader must follow, based on the current context of threats (AI Deepfakes and spoofing):
Guardian of the Seed Phrase: Offline Storage is the Only Option. Never digitize it (cloud, photo, PC). Opt for physical backup (metal plate ideally). Consider splitting it or adding an additional password ("word 25") for added security. It should never be shared under any circumstances.
Spoofing Alert on X! Scammers imitate key figures (e.g., fake Vitalik Buterin accounts). Always verify the handle (e.g., @Vita1ikButerin vs. @VitalikButerin) and check the posting history. If you receive DMs (Direct Messages) asking for keys, it's a scam.
Goodbye Public WiFi! Public networks are vulnerable to MitM attacks and "Evil Twin". Never access your wallet or make transactions on them. Use your mobile data or a VPN.
AI Deepfakes, the New Threat: With AI, frauds are hyper-realistic. Scammers create fake videos of CEOs or celebrities (like Elon Musk) promising giveaways. Pay attention to audio inconsistencies (robotic voices), lip-sync issues, and personal verification questions.
Triple Shield of Binance: If you use a CEX, your responsibility is to use 2FA (not SMS) and strong/unique passwords. Activate the Binance Anti-Phishing Code and Withdrawal Whitelist.
Knowledge is your best cold wallet. Stay safe and vigilant!
