Recently, hardware wallets have started running out of stock again, and some people around me are still clicking on those "restock alert" phishing links... It's really ridiculous. To put it simply, security is linked to the size of your assets: for a few thousand dollars, I think it's enough to keep your regular hot wallets well-managed, avoid signing random transactions, and not take photos of your seed phrases; once you reach five figures or more, a hardware wallet remains the most worry-free "threshold," at least keeping your daily computer and phone separated from the chaos. For larger amounts or if you often cross-chain or have diversified positions, multi-signature setups are more secure, but don’t just look at "more security"—you have to accept a few extra steps for each operation, and the gas fees will be more painful... I quite like social recovery; it’s suitable for people who are afraid of losing their seed phrases, but only if you truly trust those "guardians"—don’t end up trusting the closest people and getting betrayed. Anyway, my current approach is: use a hot wallet for small cross-chain transfers, keep core assets in hardware wallets and diversify storage, and when liquidity is pulled from the bridge, I withdraw immediately. That’s it for now, we’ll talk again next time.
