Recently, gas has been acting up again from time to time, and whenever the group gets crowded, people start chatting about wallet security. To be honest, this really depends on how much you have on hand. I used to tinker with a hardware wallet too, but later I thought that with only a few tens of thousands of U or less, it’s too slow to buy it just to leave it there—I’d rather use a hot wallet for convenience; as long as the private key is stored properly, that’s fine. For multi-sig, doing it with just one person is too exhausting. Social recovery looks simple, but in the back of my mind there’s always a bit of doubt—if the intermediary disappears in the middle, don’t you still have to wait?

Over the past few days, because of the rumor about additional taxes in that place, withdrawals have been getting stuck several times. The page keeps spinning, keeps refreshing the status, and the experience is pretty bad. This makes me feel that no matter which option you choose, your deposit and withdrawal channels need to be reliable. With large asset amounts, a hardware wallet is still trustworthy—at least you don’t have to wrestle with compliance processes every day, standing in line waiting for confirmations. For now, I’ll stick with the hot wallet and wait until my position is heavy before considering upgrading.
