These days, I see a bunch of large on-chain transfers and hot/cold wallet movements on exchanges being called "smart money," and I also get the itch to go watch... But honestly, it's more important to not lose your own wallet first. When assets are small, I think a hardware wallet is enough; plugging it in and confirming feels pretty reassuring. When it gets to the point of needing to split into several transactions and fearing slip-ups, multi-signature is more like "putting a lock on impulsiveness," just a bit more trouble. Social recovery sounds great, but you need to choose the right people; having too many friends can be awkward, and if relationships turn sour, it’s even more stressful. I just turned on exchange SMS alerts to remind myself not to just watch others have fun, but to keep up my own security habits as well. Anyway, I follow the "move less, watch more" approach, gradually strengthening my defenses, and if I lose out, I’ll just consider it tuition.
