Recently, the group has been sharing about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and even screenshots claiming "it's about to depeg"... Honestly, what I fear most isn't losing money, but losing control: when something really goes wrong, you don't even have the authority to transfer your assets.
When the assets weren't large, I thought a hardware wallet was enough, just for offline signing, which felt secure; but as the funds gradually increased and needed cross-platform use, I realized that "keeping the seed phrase alone" is quite fragile—trembling hands, losing it, water damage at home all count. Multi-signature is more like insuring yourself: adding more devices/people means more hassle, but also more certainty. I'm also looking into social recovery, suitable for those who don't want to memorize a string of words but can find a trustworthy "guardian," though personal relationships do come with obligations... Anyway, I now lean towards: keep it simple with less money, don't show off with large sums, and focus on reducing the risk of losing control before talking about returns.
