1. Scammers have upgraded! Fake airdrops and phishing websites that perfectly mimic real websites. One wrong click or token authorization, and your wallet is gone. But here's the good news: You can bulletproof your settings. This thread will show you how 🧵👇

2. Your seed phrase is the master key to your encrypted life. If someone gets it, they not only gain access to your wallet, but also complete control. Never store it on your phone, computer, or in the cloud. Keep it offline. Written. Hidden. Secure. Loss or disclosure, and it's all over. Irrecoverable.

3. Proper storage of the seed phrase is non-negotiable - Write it down on paper, or better yet, use a metal backup such as Cryptosteel - Keep multiple copies in different secure locations: a home safe, a bank vault, or with someone you extremely trust 🚫 Do not take photos 🚫 Do not use cloud storage

4. Use a hardware wallet. Seriously. Hot wallets like MetaMask are convenient, but always online, meaning exposure. Hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) keep your private keys offline, away from hackers. This isn't optional if you're holding real money in crypto. It's a basic requirement.

5. Phishing scams are everywhere and increasingly difficult to spot. Fake websites can look exactly like real ones. One wrong click and your wallet is empty. ✅ Always double-check URLs. ❌ Never click on random links on Telegram, Discord, or Twitter. If a stranger sends you a link via private message, assume it's a scam.

8. Never trust private messages from strangers. Never. No administrator, customer service, or influencer will contact you proactively. If someone asks for your seed phrase or asks you for 'verification,' it's a scam. Rule of thumb: If it sounds too good to be true, it's a trap.

9. Revoke permissions on suspicious wallets before they are exploited. Many decentralized applications require unlimited spending authorizations. ✅ Use tools to regularly audit and revoke untrusted authorizations. A clean wallet is a secure wallet.

10. Always have a contingency plan. Use multiple wallets with clearly defined roles: - Cold wallet → Long-term storage - Hot wallet → Daily use - One-time wallet → For risky applications If something feels wrong, immediately transfer funds.

11. In the crypto world, you are safe. No refunds. No customer support. No undo button. One mistake can cost you everything. Stay vigilant. Double-check. Never think you're 'too smart' to be hacked.
