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.

Lolz.
Read in-between the lines and understand what I meant by what I said, the phrase "not practice of what we preach" is more like an idiomatic expression, which simply means, to not do for ourselves, what we advice others to do, am I supposed to even explain what this means to you?
I thought you should know, but anyways, let that be.

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?

Since the current users of this forum will not be the only users forever, YES, I helped someone, even though every user on this forum already know this, someday, some one who is not here yet, would maybe through a search engine stumble into this thread, and will learn the importance of cold storage wallet, or hardware wallet, which ever anybody chose to call it.

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?

And how can they learn or know about things like this if we that know don't constantly talk or discuss about thing like this? We all know how busy this forum is, we need to make sure that important things like this are discussed from time to time so that new members will learn as well.
