These days, I see a bunch of people running around testing the network incentives, asking in the group every day, "Will the mainnet issue tokens"… I understand, after all, watching points makes your hands itch, but honestly, the first thing to think about is: who is actually managing these addresses, and what if they get lost.



When the asset size is small, a mobile wallet + handwritten seed phrase can actually suffice (just don’t screenshot or store it in the cloud). I thought I was pretty cautious, but once I almost threw away my seed phrase along with an old notebook… Since then, I’ve been more honest: once the amount gets a bit larger, a hardware wallet is really worry-free, at least less likely to be stolen by malicious software.

Beyond that, for those who start “not being able to sleep,” don’t risk single points of failure; multi-signature is more like splitting the keys into different drawers. Social recovery is suitable for people with average memory but reliable friends or family—provided you truly trust them, don’t dig a pit just for convenience. Anyway, my current principle is: the more you want to chase hot topics, the more you should calmly think through your storage plan first. That’s all for now.
