Now that the bull market is coming, pen thieves are increasing again
Always remember: Private key = asset! What does it mean?
Whoever owns the private key is the real owner of the coin. After understanding this sentence, you can get involved in the coin circle. Recently, many outrageous things have happened. First, a certain universe exchange froze tens of millions of accounts (the specific situation is unknown), and then someone had nearly 2 million worth of assets stolen...
Taking this opportunity, we need to talk about how to safely preserve assets.
1. Don't put it in an exchange. It's very simple. If someone blocks your account, who will you turn to? If someone runs away and collapses, who will you turn to? It is really an unwise choice to hand over your private key to a stranger who has been proven to be a scammer and just got out of prison.
2. Don’t keep your wallet in a hot wallet. Some apps or public networks may have viruses that may steal your private key.
3. Cold storage of private keys. What does it mean? Don’t put it anywhere that can be accessed online, such as WeChat collections, WP*, QQ albums and other apps. It is best to hand-copy (be careful not to make mistakes) 3 copies and store them in a safe place.
4. My personal suggestion is to store assets in three wallets. Even if one is stolen, there are still two left.
5. A cold wallet is made using a separate Apple phone.
6. Execute!!!
Among the above 6 points, the last one is the most important.
Don't take it lightly. You will only know how painful it is when the unexpected disaster happens to you. As someone who has stepped into the pit, I can understand the feeling of powerlessness. I hope this unexpected disaster will not happen again.
