I used to think that "don't screenshot or share your seed phrase" was enough to stay safe. As a beginner, I always believed that as long as I didn't reveal those 12/24 words, I was invincible. Now I understand that the seed phrase is just the baseline; the more common pitfalls are actually "what did you click, what did you sign, who did you authorize"—phishing sites that look just like the real thing. A single signature might not be a transfer, but if you give unlimited authorization, you'll be clueless about how your assets disappear later.

My current red lines are pretty simple: never connect your wallet to unknown links; don't sign anything you don't understand (especially those that ask you to "confirm a string of gibberish"); give the minimum amount when authorizing, and revoke it once you're done. Honestly, I’d rather pay a bit more in fees than save a few seconds on confirmation.

Recently, there's been a lot of debate in the community about privacy coins/mixing and the boundaries of compliance. I don’t take sides, but the feeling is very direct: during these tearing periods, phishing and "fake customer service teaching you how to unfreeze or self-verify" scams increase. When emotions run high, it's easiest to cross the red line. For now, staying alive is the priority.
