Last night I impulsively checked my wallet structure again, and the more I looked, the more I felt that "security" really depends on the size of your assets—don't start out acting like you're storing billions in a vault... Currently, my small trial-and-error funds are in hot wallets, and if I lose them, it's just tuition; slightly larger amounts are in hardware wallets, which is no trouble to plug in anyway; for amounts that truly keep me awake at night, multi-signature or social recovery makes sense, but honestly, it also tests whether you can control yourself and trust others.
Recently, before and after the upgrade of that mainstream public chain, everyone has been guessing whether projects will move away. I’m just watching and thinking: when the chain’s atmosphere changes, the first thing to panic about is actually "where are my keys," not the coin price. Multi-signature’s benefit is that when you’re impulsive, you can still be stopped by yourself; the downside is that midnight operations require gathering signatures from multiple people, which can drive night owls crazy.
By the way, I want to say that now whenever I see important mnemonic or signing procedures, I think "screenshot and save"... then I immediately dismiss that thought, it’s hilarious—screenshots really do cause trouble. If I lose, I just write a review post face-to-face; don’t add drama to yourself anymore.
