These days, I see a lot of people excited about modularization and the DAO layer narrative, but the user side still has the same concern: can't I just avoid accidentally losing my wallet... Honestly, when it comes to security, it has little to do with how advanced the narrative is; it mainly depends on your asset size and how lazy you are.



For me personally: small amounts, I just use a hot wallet casually; when it reaches the point of "losing it would cause a mental breakdown," I start with a hardware wallet; further up, don’t blindly trust that a small USB drive can save you, multi-signature is more like "breaking down the stupidity risk," but it’s also genuinely troublesome. Social recovery sounds very appealing, suitable for those who don’t want to manage seed phrases but are afraid of slip-ups, but you need to choose a reliable guardian/mechanism, or it’s like passing the buck to someone else.

My mom asked me a few days ago: Isn’t this just a password? If you forget it, you can’t recover it? I could only say... anything that can be recovered isn’t given for free; the cost is involving more people/more steps. Anyway, don’t go all-in with "all assets on one address," picking up cheap floors is fine, but don’t gamble on security—don’t leave it to luck.
