Recently, I saw someone discuss which is more "secure"—hardware wallets, multi-signature, or social recovery. Honestly, it mainly depends on the asset size and whether you can manage it continuously. For small amounts, I still think hardware wallets plus two copies of handwritten seed phrases are enough; don't overcomplicate it.


When it reaches a level where I don't want to risk losing everything due to a slip-up, I prefer multi-signature, even if it's more troublesome, but at least it separates single points of failure.
I think social recovery is quite suitable for people who are "still around, have a mediocre memory, but are willing to find reliable friends or another device as a backup." However, managing relationships can sometimes be more difficult than managing private keys... Anyway, I wouldn't go all-in on it.

Recently, the on-chain tagging tools have been criticized as "lagging/misleading," which is normal. I now basically don't treat any address tags as conclusions, only as references.
What helps me stay calm is: before adding to my position, I write a line: "In the worst case, how can I regain control?" If I can't come up with it, I don't add the position first, to avoid panic later.
