Based on a recent incident I came across on X, I have realized that a lot of us don't actually practice what we preach when it comes to the safest way to hold bitcoins securely.
Many of us, the Bitcoin OGs are quick to advice newbies to get a hardware wallet, that it is the best way to hold bitcoin and other supported crypto assets securely, but coming back to ourselves, many of us don't do the same, probably out of over confidence in ourselves that our wallet can never be hacked due to our already vast knowledge in crypto.
I am making this thread to let us all know that nobody is safe, be you an OG or newbie, you need to get yourself a hardware wallet if you must hold your bitcoins and other crypto assets with rest of mind.
I came across a post from this dude on twitter whose bitcoin wallet was hacked, and all BTC25+ held since 2012 he said belonged to him and his father were all stolen, this is one lost that will be very hard to get over, holding 25+ bitcoins since 2012 and just one day, in a twinkle of an eye, it's all gone.
Anyways, in a 5 minutes video he posted on X which i will share below, he did mention always advising people to get a hardware wallet and store their bitcoins on it, meanwhile he himself doesn't own or use one, due to his confidence that he could never be hacked, but unfortunately, it happened, he got hacked.
This is something for us all to learn from, nobody is an expert when it comes to online security of your bitcoin and your funds, get a hardware wallet today to significantly increase the safety of your funds.
