Recently, I've seen people struggling to choose between hardware wallets, multi-signature, and social recovery. To put it simply, first consider the size of your assets and whether you can follow the process long-term. When funds are not large, a hardware wallet is sufficient; the key is to avoid taking photos of the seed phrase or storing it on cloud drives—just back it up in two places. When your funds start to grow and you need to access them frequently, multi-signature is more reliable, but don't overestimate your ability to execute; if you haven't thought through the signer selection and emergency procedures, you're just digging a hole for yourself. I think social recovery is suitable for those who are afraid of losing their seed phrase but trust only a few people, provided the relationships are stable; otherwise, it can be more stressful than market volatility. Recently, with tax and compliance regulations fluctuating back and forth, the expectations for deposits and withdrawals have tightened, making people more prone to panic. So, during such times, avoid making last-minute changes to your security plan—stick to the simplest approach and hold on.
