Drop into any conversation online about securing your cryptocurrency and you will find a great number of people who clearly need help and an almost equal number of people who talk down their noses at people who don't have a clue (and who in their minds maybe even deserve to get robbed).
The truth is, securing your cryptocurrency against theft is not a simple matter, requires a fair bit of preparation and foreknowledge. and is remarkably easy to fuck up, with unseen, massive consequences either immediately or down the road.
My theory is that anyone who has been in the cryptocurrency space for any length of time has been through one or more experiences where they lost some or all of their coin to some scam, rug-pull, phishing scheme or outright physical theft. That's a really expensive way to learn about security, but it has its adherents.
Here's the core truth about owning a lot of cryptocurrency wealth; it makes YOU the bank. The minute anyone knows or suspects you have sizeable amounts of crypto holdings, you become a walking target for phishers, sim-swatters, kidnappers and extortionists, or worse. And ultimately, what gets stolen stays that way, and it is rare that victims ever seen their stolen coin again.
