I've recently been asked again, "Hardware wallets/multisig/social recovery, which one should I choose?"


Honestly, it depends on your asset size and whether you can maintain good habits long-term.
For small amounts, don't turn it into a big ceremony; a mobile wallet plus separate backup of the seed phrase is enough for now.
When it reaches the level of "losing it would keep me awake," hardware wallets are quite suitable, as they can at least block many slip-ups and wrong links during signing.
For larger amounts (like managing a family or team), multisig is like giving keys to several people—more trouble but less likely to lose everything at once.
Social recovery is more suitable for those who fear they can't remember everything, but you need to think carefully about whether "friends are reliable."

A couple of days ago, I also had a moment of "don't touch if you don't understand":
I came across an AI agent that automatically helps you perform on-chain operations, boasting all kinds of impressive features.
I clicked in and found I had to authorize a bunch of permissions...
I immediately pulled my hands back—since transaction fees are endless, staying alive is the most important.
Now, anyone can tell a story about security, but fewer and fewer people actually care about it.
That's all for now.
