A couple of days ago, I saw someone on the blockchain monitoring large transfers and hot wallet movements on exchanges, shouting "Smart money is coming." I got so excited that I almost added a bunch of permissions to my frequently used hot wallets... Looking back, I find it quite frightening; if something really happens, don’t expect to quickly withdraw.



Honestly, when the asset size is small, a hardware wallet plus an offline backup is enough—troublesome but reassuring; once it reaches a certain scale (especially when frequently interacting with DeFi), holding the seed phrase alone is quite fragile. Multi-signature is like buying insurance for yourself; the downside is that operations are slow, and signing on the go is more annoying. Social recovery I think is suitable for those afraid of losing their seed phrase but don’t want to make things too complicated. However, choosing "who to appoint as the guardian" needs careful consideration—don’t end up with a human pitfall.

Right now, I’m: large holdings in hardware + multi-signature, small amounts in hot wallets for liquidity pools, seeking stability while staying active... That’s how I’ll keep it for now.
