Recently, I pulled out my wallet plan and reviewed it again.
Honestly, when the asset size is small, a hardware wallet is quite sufficient,
The key is not to be reckless and take selfies of your seed phrase or store it on the cloud…
But if you start feeling a bit “restless,” multi-signature is very suitable,
Turning a mistake into “you’d have to mess up twice at least before something happens.”
I’ve also looked into social recovery for a long time,
It’s suitable for those who are afraid of losing their seed phrase and don’t want a full multi-signature setup,
But you need to recognize:
Transferring trust from yourself to a few people/services,
It’s comfortable, but the cost is there.
Recently, I’ve heard about some regions increasing taxes and tightening compliance,
The inflow and outflow expectations really affect people’s mindset,
I actually prefer to layer permissions:
A small daily amount in a hot wallet is enough,
For large amounts, don’t rush.
Not long ago, I set reminders and limits for myself (like single transaction caps, 48-hour cooling-off periods),
At first, it was a bit annoying,
But then I found that emotionally, I was much calmer,
It’s not so easy to be driven by the impulse to “just rush and operate.”
Let’s start like this,
Gradually improve, it’s more reliable than trying to do everything perfectly in one go.
