Self custody fundamentals are straightforward, yet critical. Your seed phrases must remain entirely offline and in your sole possession—never shared, never stored on internet-connected devices. This is the non-negotiable baseline. Once you compromise this principle, security risks multiply. Whether it's a single oversight or deliberate negligence, deviations from this rule consistently lead to asset loss. Hold the line, control your keys.

Remember, safeguarding your private keys is like guarding your faith; a single mistake can lead to irreversible loss [苦笑] --- Cold wallets are truly the bottom line. I've seen too many people get wiped out due to a small oversight, and their mental state collapses --- To put it simply, if you can't do offline seed words, don't try self-custody. The risk is too great for you to bear --- Friends who have experienced theft all understand that the convenience of hot wallets cannot replace peace of mind; cold storage is still necessary --- It's another opportunity for rebirth; only those who understand self-management can survive the next bull market --- The most feared are those who think they're clever, believing they can avoid risks; in the end, they all become lessons --- This wave of decline is truly testing people's hearts. Those who坚持自管理 are the real winners --- The law of conservation of energy: the lost sense of security will ultimately be compensated by asset losses

Storing seed words offline is really not difficult; it's just that too many people can't control their hands.

A cold wallet isn't really a hassle; you just have to be firm. Write down the seed phrase on paper, and you're done.

ngl the "hold the line" rhetoric is giving cult vibes but like... statistically speaking you're objectively right. correlation between offline storage and zero breach incidents is pretty much 1.0, which is honestly wild when you think about it

Well said, the private key is the lifeline; one wrong step and the entire game is lost.
