I suggest that if the thread is made, there can be a voluntary campaign for people to include the thread link in their personal text, like many of us did with NotATether's bitcoin cleanup campaign, it will get more attention that way and we don't have to disturb Theymos for a 'popup after login' or to have it stickied.

I can't wear two avatars at once though.

The thread doesn't need to be stickied nor does a popup have to be made, 90% of readers (bounty hunters are excluded) go straight to the Bitcoin Discussion section. There is Important Announcements subboard, with this title waiting for them to click on.

A quick draft:

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

No please.. it's so misleading.

Why don't we replace the world "online accounts" with "custodial services"? That should be less ambiguous, and is applicable to all centralized crypto platforms as opposed to just exchanges.

Some suggestions:

If you also need to store altcoins, Trust Wallet is a good option.
Do not recommend Trust wallet. It is closed source and owned by Binance. Given that FTX's apps became malware in the days after their insolvency, recommending any software owned by a centralized exchange should be avoided.

OK, I forgot that Trust was owned by Binance (how could I have forgot??).

I do not know any high-quality multi coin wallets, so lets add another sentence after the hardware wallets point saying: "Only deposit as much crypto as you need to trade, and withdraw it immediately afterwards.
