I am increasingly feeling that wallets are like positions: don't rush to chase the "safest" right away, first see if you can control your hands. Small amounts of money are enough with a hardware wallet plus two offline backups; don't make it look like a bank vault, or you'll forget where you hid the seed phrase in the end. As assets grow and require multi-party management, multi-signature is really appealing, but honestly, the trouble lies with the "people"—signers changing phones, losing contact, going abroad temporarily—all can become sources of accidents. Social recovery is suitable for those with poor memory but stable social relationships, but personally, I've always been quite cautious about trusting a few people.
Also, recently some people have been criticizing the lag of on-chain data tools/tag systems, and I agree halfway: tags can be referenced, but don’t treat them as commandments. If you really want risk control, monitor address flows and liquidation hotspots yourself, don’t be led around by a bunch of colored blocks.
What I fear most isn’t losing money, but losing control: I can accept losing money, but if control is lost and something goes wrong with no way to fix it, that’s when I really can’t sleep. That’s all for now.
