Blockchain has a strong appeal to take control (i mean full control) of our money . The private key is unique in every blockchain and hence has only one copy of it .
Great power comes with great responsibility . We own our assets and we can protect it (only we can) .
Recent days we have seen hacks , thefts and spams . All are directed towards some sort of compromised or poorly secured private keys.
Based on my understandings i plot out the best ways to secure our assets :
Do not store your asset in exchanger (unless you are just willing to sell/trade them). In exchanger we dont control the private keys , hence the coins are not in our control.
Do not store your private keys in your electronic devices (browser , notepad , cloud , drive , pendrive or whatever that can be accessed online) . Only print them and store offline.
Use Hardware wallet for storing your assets and backup key in a print out format stored offline. Trezor and Ledger nano are two best choices.
Do not use a shared/unsecured/less authenticated email for accessing your assets.
Always look into url when visiting a website. Never reveal your password/private keys if you are not sure about the security of the site.
If its too good to be true , it probably is . Dont fall for such fishy offers.
Good luck with your cryptoassets.
