Recently, I've seen a bunch of social mining and fan tokens shouting "Attention is mining," and I can't help but feel a bit amused: attention is mostly considered traffic, but if it really turns into an asset, in the end, it still depends on who controls the private key and how permissions are revoked.
My current understanding is quite crude: if the asset is small and operations are frequent, hardware wallets should be the first line of defense, at least don't let the signing step be influenced by the computer environment; once the asset grows a bit and you don't want to take all the blame alone, multi-signature is more reliable. It may be troublesome, but the permission boundaries are clear; when it really comes to "I'm afraid I might slip up/lose my device/there's an incident at home," social recovery becomes meaningful. But the premise is that you trust those few "guardians," otherwise it's just shifting the risk from technology to human relationships.
What I fear most is not losing money but losing control—if I lose money, at least I know how I lost it; losing control means you can't even explain how you lost it. Anyway, don't let "hype" push you into choosing a solution first. Think carefully: are you afraid of hackers, or are you afraid of yourself?
