▎How to Keep Your Digital Coins Safe
Think of your digital coins (crypto) like special coins in a video game. You need a safe place to keep them!
▎1. Your Secret Word List is the MOST IMPORTANT THING!
• When you get a crypto wallet, it gives you a list of 12 or 24 words (like "apple, boat, cat, dream...").
• This list is the master key to ALL your coins.
• What to do:
– Write it down on paper.
– Keep the paper in a very safe place, like a locked box.
• What NOT to do:
– Never type it on your computer.
– Never take a picture of it.
– Never tell anyone these words. No one should ever ask for them.
▎2. Pick the Right Wallet
• For Saving (Like a Piggy Bank): Use a Hardware Wallet. It's a small USB-like device. Your coins are safest here because it's not connected to the internet.
• For Spending (Like Pocket Money): Use an app on your phone, called a Software Wallet. Only keep a little bit here for buying things.
▎3. Be a Detective: Watch Out for Tricks!
Bad people try to trick you. Here’s how to be safe:
• Check the Address: When sending coins, check the address (a long mix of letters/numbers) very carefully. Scammers change one letter to steal.
• Test First: Always send a very tiny amount first to make sure it goes to the right place.
• Ignore Strange Messages: If someone you don't know sends you a message with a link to "claim free coins," it's a trap. Don't click!
▎4. Lock Your Doors (Use 2FA)
• On websites where you buy coins, turn on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
• This means you need your password AND a special, changing code from an app (like Google Authenticator) to get in. It's like a second lock on your door.
▎Simple Rules to Remember:
1. Your word list is a secret. Hide it like treasure.
2. Big savings go in a hardware wallet (the "piggy bank").
3. Double-check everything like a detective.
4. Never rush. If someone says "HURRY!", it's probably a trick.
5. Use 2FA for an extra lock.
Being safe with crypto is like being safe crossing the street: Stop, Look, and Think before you do anything. If you go slow and are careful, your digital coins will be safe!
