🔐 Keys are more important than the wallet

Many people think that cryptocurrencies are "inside the app"...

But the reality is completely different.

Cryptocurrencies are always present on the blockchain.

The wallet is just a tool

That gives you control through

The private key or the seed phrase.

If you lose the key? You haven't lost the currency...

You've lost your right to control it.

And usually, there's no support, no recovery, no solution.

🧠 The golden rule: whoever has the key...

Is the one who has the money.

That's why:

Don't take a picture of the key

Don't send it on WhatsApp

Don't store it in notes

Don't leave it visible to anyone

The best:

More than one backup

Different locations

A clear plan that you understand

---

⚖️ Comfort vs. Security

Online wallets:

Easier... but more prone to hacking

Offline wallets (Cold):

Safer from attacks... but carry risks of loss or damage

There's no ideal option.

There’s a security system you build: how to create the keys

Where to store the copies

How to verify transactions

And what to do in case of an emergency

---

🏦 Custodial wallets are convenient...

But the keys are not with you.

And that means:

Risk of hacking

Freezing

Operational errors

Or using assets according to the platform's policies

Regulation alone

Is not a full guarantee.

---

🎯 In summary, controlling the keys = controlling your money.

And every other solution

Is a balance between convenience and risk

You choose it consciously... not by chance.
