Think of crypto like owning digital cash that lives in public.

Everyone can see it.

No one can reverse mistakes.

And the internet is full of people whose full time job is separating you from it.

Rule one: if something is free, urgent, or “just needs one signature”, it’s probably a scam.

Real opportunities don’t chase you in DMs like a desperate ex.

Rule two: your seed phrase is not customer support material.

Not for Discord mods.

Not for “wallet verification”.

Not for screenshots.

If anyone asks for it, they’re not helping you recover funds, they’re recovering your funds… into their wallet.

Rule three: separate wallets.

One wallet for holding.

One wallet for clicking things.

Never mix curiosity with your life savings. That’s how horror stories are born.

Rule four: slow down.

Most hacks happen when people rush.

Urgency is a scammer’s favorite weapon.

If you feel pressured, stop. The blockchain will still be there in ten minutes.

Rule five: verify everything.

Fake links look real. Fake accounts look verified. Fake websites look identical.

Scammers don’t break crypto. They exploit human shortcuts.

Final lesson:

In crypto, you are the bank, the security team, and the compliance department.

If that sounds boring, great.

Boring is how you stay rich.
