Yes. Security in the crypto world isn't just about wallets but also when making transactions. So we really have to always double-check repeatedly when transacting and make checking wallet addresses before sending a mandatory habit. Because in the crypto world, sending mistakes are very serious since they can't be undone. Once a transaction is confirmed on the blockchain your assets are gone forever.

Often, the most common causes are carelessness, like wrong copy paste, wrong network, wrong input or being too hasty due to panic, and so on. So the mistakes many people made in the past should be lessons for all of us. Even keeping your seed phrase very secure is very important, but security when transacting is equally crucial because just one careless move can wipe out years of hard work.

Our decision is the first security check. If you can not control your decision, you definitely can not control even the most secure wallet. You make decision on which and type of wallet to use, you decide on links to click either phishing or genuine link. You decide on the percentage of your asset to store in each wallet. If you made a wrong choice in any of this, chances to lose your money is increasingly high. Your mindset about security is what saves you all the time. Every decision that involves finance should not be taken in haste to avoid making wrong decisions.

Having a mindset that understand importance of security in crypto is very important. If you don't have that sort of mindset then only spending money on expensive security device won't save you from scammers. No matter how much security devices you have placed, if you don't know how to properly secure your seed then you are always at risk of losing your cryptocurrency. The right mindset also help us in understanding critical fact about crypto that in case you lost your coins, their is no way to recover them.

For the security of the wallet, a person needs a combination of the right mindset, proper planning and a back up system. If a person is very serious about security, but he just writes the seed phrase on a piece of paper as a back up. If that paper gets damaged after a few years, he will lose his coin. Again, if the seed phrase is stored on the phone, it may be in the phone's gallery or cloud, this is also a problem. As a result, if hackers get access to the phone somehow, they can easily get the seed phrase.

So the important thing is to keep balance in ensuring security. Where there will be protection against the attacker and there will be enough awareness against your own mistakes. According to personal preference, you should keep the back up in such a way that you will never lose the seed phrase and there will be no possibility of hacking and becoming a victim.

Security is everyone's business if you must survive. Privacy is gold and I will add that you should separate your security apps. For your emails, don't use your recovery number in the device your email is logged in or your recovery email should also not be on the same device. Regulate your notifications options and limit the information you can access from drop-down notifications while lock screen. Do not share your keys with anyone and do not allow anyone to have access to your information. Double check every site before clicking and don't click any suspicious emails or links received on any platform. One can not be too careful, we only apply caution and hope their new techniques doesn't catch up with us.
