Lately, I've been struggling with security again... My assets aren't considered whale-sized, but they're also at the point where "losing them would cause a heart attack." Hardware wallets, to put it simply, are the most worry-free baseline: don’t think it’s troublesome, you'll realize how convenient that little plug-in confirmation is when something actually happens. Multi-signature is more like insuring yourself, but it slows down daily operations, suitable for those who have already started to split their holdings and still frequently need to access funds; otherwise, it can become a hassle.

I used to be quite interested in social recovery, feeling it was very romantic—like handing the keys to a few trusted people; but after calming down, I worry that the "people" variable is too unpredictable, especially recently when everyone talks about rate cut expectations, the dollar index moving with risk assets up and down together, and when emotions run high, it's easiest to make stupid decisions. Anyway, my current choice is: use small hot wallets freely, with hardware wallets as the main backup for major assets, and only seriously consider multi-signature when the amount is large... As for that bit of romance, I’ll leave it for when I buy art.
