Recently reviewing my ledger, I found myself more concerned about "where to store the keys" than comparing market trends... When assets are still small, I think hardware wallets are sufficient, worry-free, and less likely to make mistakes when authorizing; but once I start dealing with multiple chains, multiple protocols, and long-term holdings, multi-signature setups are much more comfortable, at least if one private key is lost, it’s not the end of the world (of course, the signing process is also more complicated, so I need to clearly outline the steps to control efficiency).
I have some doubts about social recovery; it sounds very human, but you really have to trust those few people/institutions, otherwise you’re just shifting the risk elsewhere.
By the way, recently everyone has been comparing RWA and US bond yields to on-chain yield products. Honestly, I care more about "who can move my money" and "can I recover if something goes wrong," even a slightly higher return isn’t worth gambling on.
(And the anti-witch rules are increasingly feeling like they’re testing my form-filling skills.)
