Lately, whenever I see the TVL line dropping, I start to sweat… Then I can’t help but check my wallet settings, not because of market conditions, but because I’m afraid of slipping up or getting hacked and losing everything instantly. Honestly, with different asset sizes, the defensive strategies are really different: if you don’t have much money, don’t make multi-signature setups as complicated as clocking in at work, or you might end up stuck with your assets in your own hands; a little more, at least use a hardware wallet to block the “phone gets infected and it’s over” risk; further up, you really should use multi-signature, even if it’s just two keys stored separately, it’s troublesome but helps you sleep better. I’m quite conflicted about social recovery; it sounds great, but thinking about “friends changing numbers / ignoring you / falling for phishing,” I… Anyway, I treat it as a backup, not the main method. Recently, the staking unlocks and token unlock calendar are being brought up every day, and the pressure to sell makes me want to tighten risk controls even more. For now, I’ll do that—I’m going to update the firmware on that idle hardware wallet and test the backup phrase while I’m at it.
