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.
This is not a church or a sect that someone preaches here, this is a forum where Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies and some other things are discussed. You may be speaking for yourself, but anyone who understands what Bitcoin actually is has long understood what
"not your keys, not your coins" means.
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.
Do you think you helped someone with advice that has already been written several thousand times on this forum? Do you think that private keys on every hardware wallet are absolutely safe? What about those who don't know what clipboard malware is, or those who have no idea how to properly store their seed - or those who will share the same seed with various companies so that they can store it for them?
The hardware wallet is just a step in the right direction, but nowhere near what you imagine.
