Recently, everyone has been complaining again about miners/validators getting too fat, MEV front-running causing unfair ordering, and honestly, retail traders' quick hands often just get them caught in the crossfire... I’ve been staring at the market so long my eyes are sore, and the screen flickering makes my stomach tighten a bit.
By the way, I thought about wallets: if the assets aren’t much, just one or two addresses moving back and forth, I think a hardware wallet is enough, at least don’t let hot wallets run naked all the time; but once you start holding some long-term positions, and you’re worried about slipping and signing the wrong thing, multi-signature setups are much more comfortable. It’s a bit more trouble, but it can keep you from acting on impulse. Social recovery seems more suited for forgetful people or those who switch devices often—finding reliable contacts is more important than the technology itself, or recovery day might just make you more anxious. Anyway, I currently do: small daily amounts on hot wallets, and for slightly larger ones, I try to use multi-signature or hardware wallets, to reduce the chances of shooting myself in the foot.
