These two days, the staking season is heating up again, with various anti-witch platforms and points systems making it feel like clocking in at work... I looked at it for a long time, but I became more determined to first understand the "key" thing.
Assets are not large, mainly for interaction and small gains, using a hardware wallet is enough, to isolate some risk, losing it is still acceptable;
If it's a large amount that keeps you awake after a wrong transfer, multi-signature is more reassuring, not relying on a single seed phrase for life or death, but the operation is indeed more complicated;
As for social recovery, it's suitable for those who are afraid of slipping up or forgetting, but you need to choose a "recovery person" you truly trust, otherwise you're just shifting the risk elsewhere.
Anyway, after lowering my expectations, I feel more relaxed, not chasing every task, just raising the security threshold first, and missing out is okay.
