▎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!
