Holiday Edition: Are You Really Protecting Your Crypto the Way You Think?

Wallet Operations 101

Quick Glossary for the DeFi Newcomer

• Crypto wallet – A tool that stores and protects your blockchain access keys. (Your crypto stays on the blockchain — the wallet controls access.)

• Private key – Your secret access code. Whoever has it, owns the crypto.

• Public key/address – What you share to receive crypto.

• Custodial wallet – A company holds your private key for you.

• Non-custodial wallet – You hold the key. Full control, full responsibility.

• Hot wallet – Online wallet (apps, browser extensions). Easy to use, higher risk.

• Cold wallet – Offline wallet (hardware, paper). Extremely secure.

• Seed phrase – Backup words that can restore your wallet.

• Self-custody – Owning your crypto by owning your keys.

Holiday Season = Higher Risk 🎁⚠️

The holidays bring more buying, gifting, sending, and swapping — which means: More phishing. More fake links. More wallet hacks. More “urgent” scams.

So it’s the perfect time to raise your Wallet IQ and challenge yourself:

Are you treating your crypto with the same seriousness you treat your bank account… or even your house keys?

Let’s fix that . . .

Types of Wallets & What You Should Prioritize

1. Custodial Wallets (Good… but not great)

• Exchange or company controls the private keys.

• Easy for beginners, but your access is only as safe as THEIR security.

• Holiday Tip: Use these only for quick purchases or swaps. Do not store wealth here.

2. Hot Wallets (Your day-to-day tools)

• You control the key, but the wallet lives online.

• Great for small amounts and spending.

• Holiday Tip:

  • Keep enough to use,

  • BUT move the rest to cold storage.

3. Cold Wallets (Your wealth vault) 🔐

• Offline = almost impossible to hack remotely.

• Best long-term storage for real wealth.

• Holiday Tip: If you don’t have one yet, this is your #1 priority before year-end.

**Want to Build Wealth in DeFi?

Then Build Smart Habits.**

Here’s your challenge —No excuses, no “I’ll do it later,” no hoping it never happens. Anyone serious about crypto ownership must follow these:

1. Treat Your Seed Phrase Like Your Life Savings

Never store it in:

• Screenshots

• Email

• Notes apps

• Cloud storage

• Text messages

Use pen & paper. Store in 2 safe places.

2. Use 2FA. Always.

Not SMS — use an authenticator app.

3. Don’t Click Holiday Deals in DMs

If someone “gifts” you a link, it’s probably a trap.

4. Do Small Test Transactions First

Sending $500? Test with $5. You’ll thank yourself later.

5. Move Your Long-Term Crypto to a Cold Wallet NOW!

Especially during high-attack seasons like Black Friday → New Year.
