Recently, I saw a bunch of people using ETF capital flows and US stock risk appetite to explain crypto price movements, talking as if they’re giving unified commands… I was scrolling and thinking, how to interpret the market can be put aside for now, what’s more important is how to allocate my own wallet. When the asset size is small, I actually care more about “not wasting time on recovery”: a hardware wallet is enough, divided like packed meals, with the main holdings on one hardware wallet, and hot wallets for trading/interactions separated, so losing it wouldn’t cause a total meltdown. As assets slowly grow or if managing with multiple people (partners, family), multi-signature is more comfortable; it’s more troublesome, but at least it won’t be lost due to a slip of one person’s hand. I’m also quite conflicted about social recovery—frankly, it’s suitable for “people who are afraid of losing seed phrases but lazy to back them up,” but choosing guardians is even more testing of human nature than choosing a chain… Anyway, I’m currently: if hardware is available, use hardware; only when multi-signature is needed do I set it up. That’s it for now.
