Recently, everyone has been paying attention to unlocking calendars and the "selling pressure anxiety" caused by staking unlocks.


I actually think it's more practical to first get the wallet matter sorted out… Honestly, when the asset size isn't big, the biggest risk isn't unlocking and crashing the market, but slipping up and losing the seed phrase yourself.

Newbie misconception: Hardware wallets = absolute security, buy it and everything's fine.
My current understanding: Security is more like process management; a hardware wallet isolates the private key, but backup, verification, storage location, and who can access it are the real points that determine whether you'll have a problem.

For small holdings and frequent transactions, don't make things too complicated—just make sure to back up the seed phrase offline;
For larger holdings and long-term storage, hardware wallets are quite good.
Beyond that, single signatures mean "if one person messes up, everything's ruined," multi-signature is more stable, but it’s also really troublesome;
Social recovery sounds friendly and is suitable for people worried about losing keys, but you need to think carefully about whether "friends/devices" are trustworthy.
Anyway, my current principle is: better to be slow than to concentrate risk in one point.
That's all for now.
