How do I keep my crypto safe from hacks and scams?
I keep all my coins on an exchange. Is that safe enough?
For education only. This is not financial advice. Trading carries a high risk of loss.

A few habits cover most of the risk:
- Turn on two-factor authentication using an app or hardware key, not SMS.
- Do not keep large amounts on an exchange. Move long-term holdings to a hardware wallet.
- Write your recovery phrase on paper, store it offline, and never type it into a website or share it with anyone. Real support staff never ask for it.
- Beware of phishing links, fake support accounts and giveaways that ask you to send crypto first.
- Double check wallet addresses before sending, and test with a small amount.
