Just woke up and was checking the token unlock calendar, and the group chat started talking about "selling pressure" which made people anxious... But honestly, where you really put your assets affects your sleep quality more. Putting a small amount in a hot wallet for convenience is fine, but once it gets a bit larger, I’d consider a hardware wallet, at least keep the private keys off connected devices. Going further, multi-signature is more like "don't let one mistake ruin everything," suitable for managing with a partner or co-founder, or keeping separate keys for yourself. Social recovery sounds gentle, but you need to first confirm that "friends are trustworthy" and that the recovery process isn't too complicated, or it’ll be even more stressful when you actually need it. Anyway, my principle is: the bigger the assets, the more cautious and steady the steps should be, take it slow.
