Recently, links have been flying all over the place. There are also plenty of “update packages” being stuffed into group files. I’m a cautious person—my hardware wallet has been sitting unopened the whole time. This time, just before the stock runs out, I also picked up one more, so at least when sending and receiving large amounts, I feel more at ease.

For anything below a few dozen U, a hot wallet plus a bit of anti-phishing awareness is really enough; for a few hundred to a few thousand U, I can set up a cold wallet first, with the recovery phrase written down and stored in two separate physical locations. For above ten thousand U, I only feel like it’s worth the hassle if I use multisig or social recovery. After all, the size of your holdings determines how much you need to fuss—there’s no need to put everything on fancy top-tier setups.

The information noise is too overwhelming. My noise-reduction strategy is simple: either trust only the private keys I can control, or trust contracts that have been proven over time. Everything else—just let it pass through like air.
