Recently, I saw new L1/L2 projects promoting incentives to boost TVL.
Old users in the group are rushing in while complaining, "Mining and selling,"
Basically, it's all about the excitement, but those who truly stay on the chain need to think carefully about the key management.
No matter how large your assets are, ask yourself first:
Are you most afraid of being hacked, or of accidentally slipping up / losing your phone / forgetting your seed phrase someday?
Small amounts of money can be casually clicked, a hardware wallet is enough,
Don't keep everything on exchanges (especially during these mining periods with frequent withdrawals),
Frequent transfers increase the risk of issues;
Once your assets grow a bit, I prefer multi-signature wallets.
It's more troublesome, but spreading out the risk of "a single point of failure" makes for a more peaceful sleep;
If you're at a higher level or someone who often travels and can't remember things easily, social recovery is actually quite good,
As long as the "friends" you choose are truly reliable,
Otherwise, it's like shifting the risk from yourself to others.
Anyway, I now have only one principle:
Better to go slow than to rely on luck.
That's all for now.
