Recently, everyone’s been staring at big on-chain transfers and exchange hot/cold wallet movements, shouting “smart money is here,” but I put my hand on my wallet first… Honestly, no matter how “smart” the money is, it can’t save you from that one click when you land on a phishing site.

I never type out my mnemonic phrase online, never take screenshots, and never store it in the cloud. I keep two sets of paper copies, stored separately.

For a new account, I run a small test first—only after I can verify the funds have arrived do I add extra costs.

Don’t think the authorization part is too much trouble either. If I see something that wants you to sign a bunch of messages you can’t understand, and they keep pushing you to “claim it now,” I just close the page—I’d rather miss out.

Anyway, bonus hunting is a conveyor belt. There are only three red lines: don’t share your mnemonic phrase, don’t sign random stuff, and don’t get greedy and rush into the entry. For now, that’s it.
