I've been lurking in the group for a long time, but I can't help but speak up... Recently, I've been watching blockchain games with inflation + studio entry "getting so intense that it collapses," and only then do I realize that the first to collapse is often not the project itself, but people's wallet management mindset.



To put it simply, hardware wallets are suitable for those who can "control themselves": assets aren't too large but they don't want to casually leave funds on hot wallets, and since they don't transfer frequently, losing the wallet is truly losing everything, so backups are a matter of life. Multi-signature is more like "when the funds grow, someone needs to manage them together," to prevent accidental transfers and phishing, but it's a bit more troublesome—don't force it just for a sense of sophistication. Social recovery, I think, isn't friendly to OCD types... Having trusted people to back you up is quite appealing, but you need to trust those few people and accept the social cost.

I'm currently dividing by scale: small hot wallets for casual use, slightly larger hardware wallets, and beyond that, consider multi-signature. Anyway, I prefer to be more cautious rather than wake up one day to find permissions haven't been cleared properly. That's all for now.
