Recently, there have been a bunch of large transfers on the blockchain again, and whenever exchange hot and cold wallets move, someone yells "Smart money is coming." I find it quite anxiety-inducing... But honestly, when it really comes to my own issues, it's mostly not that I didn't keep up with the rhythm, but that I crossed a few red lines in wallet security.
I now treat the mnemonic phrase like my house keys: no screenshots, no cloud storage, no sharing with anyone, two copies kept separately on paper, even if it's a bit troublesome. Signing authorization is even more dangerous; some phishing sites make their pages look just like the real ones. Just click "Confirm," and they grant permissions to your wallet, and then assets are slowly transferred away, and you might think you clicked wrong. Anyway, I now test new links first with a secondary wallet; if I see it asks for unlimited authorization, I just close it immediately. Better to miss the "opportunity" than go through a zero-balance reset again... Better to preserve capital first; small profits are still wins.
