Securing your digital assets

[Hamza2424]

One of the most important things I have learned from this forum is how to secure your digital assets.

Op I would have been more specific in the domain of digital assets with securing Bitcoins  , most likely I had also learned this particular security preventive measure from this forum. Here we support a motto "Not Your Key Not Coins", "Security & Safty is as simple as ABC" Always Be Careful.

Here are a couple  of things you should avoid after setting up your air gapped device or when installing your wallet generally;
 LEDGER.

 TREZOR.

 MYCELIUM.
 https://wallet.mycelium.com/
 ELECTRUM.

Hmm, OP your tips are quite promising as using a secure Browser really matters, as the software installation from the official source as well, but mostly people prefer downloading from the official sources still reminder by OP is appreciated. If you are really covering some of the tips you should also include the cold storage for a large amount, for beginners include the Custodial Wallets recommendation as most newbies get confused in Custodial & non-custodial Wallets (Hot Wallets). In the Hot wallets add a point for the highly recomended (Electrum Wallet).

True but if they've accepted KYC, one should wonder what else they have also accepted and have done to the browser. Besides as I said it's not like there is a lack of good other open source browsers that people can use to improve their privacy.

With KYC to claim the token, it unofficially forces users of Brave browser to KYC. If they use the browser, they will have more reasons to consider KYC to claim rewards. When they claim reward once, they will do it more and the reward in token is like a KYC-honeypot from Brave browser team.

A truly privacy browser should not have that policy to distract their users from privacy protection. If they design a privacy browser but at the same time, design some policies, reward program to break the privacy policy, their browser is no longer private.

AML/KYC sucks for sure, but I think in this case it's simply due to regulators reasons. As far as I know, Brendan Eich and the Brave browser company are based in the United States, so it's just totally expected for them to be making sure that they're not poking the hornet's nest.

One important thing that I think you forgot to mention is the use of 2FA. It keeps them out all the time.
