Here's your personalized Bitcoin security checklist, criminals are everywhere. Do not make yourself a target.
With a dash of humor so hopefully more memorable.
1. Craft a #Password That Would Stump Even Sherlock - Make sure your Bitcoin-related passwords are so strong, even a quantum computer would need a coffee break.
2. #2FA - Double the Fun, Double the Security - Enable 2-Factor Authentication. Because if one factor is good, two must be like a digital Fort Knox.
3. #Password Manager: Your Digital Vault - Use one. Unless you're one of those people who enjoys the thrill of forgetting passwords.
4. Passwords Are Like Underwear - Don't Share - And change them often, for security's sake!
5. Backup Codes: Not Just For #Emergencies - Keep them safer than your secret candy stash.
6. #Breach Alerts: Be the First to Know - Because finding out your data's been compromised should be as exciting as getting mail.
7. #HardwareWallet - Bitcoin's Winter Coat - Keep your Bitcoin snug and offline where hackers can't cuddle up to it.
8. #PrivateKeys - Keep 'Em Private - Like your most embarrassing high school photo, keep them offline.
9. #Multi-Sig: Because Sharing is Caring - But only when it means more security.
10. Back Up Like You're Saving the World - Your Bitcoin wallet deserves multiple safe havens.
11. #Encrypt Your Wallet - Give hackers a puzzle they can't solve without a few lifetimes.
12. Password Rotation - Like Crop Rotation but for #Security - Keep those hackers guessing.
13. #Browser Choices - Go Incognito or Go Home - Use browsers that respect your privacy more than your ex.
14. Trackers? Block 'Em Like You're in The #Matrix - Dodge those digital bullets.
15. #HTTPS or Bust - If it's not secure, it's not worth your time.
16. **#Tor - A Privacy-Focused Browser**: Tor can help protect your online privacy, but be aware of its associations and use it responsibly for legitimate privacy needs.
17. **Search Privately - Protect Your Privacy with #DuckDuckGo**: Use search engines that respect your privacy to minimize data tracking.
18. #JavaScript? Maybe Later - Disable it when you're feeling extra paranoid.
19. Incognito Mode - Your Digital Disguise - Because sometimes, you want to be the digital equivalent of a ninja.
20. SMS for 2FA? That's So Last Decade - Use an app or a #hardware token.
21. Phishing? I'm Not Biting - Always check if that email is really from your long-lost Nigerian prince.
22. #Cold Storage - Bitcoin's Winter Home - Where your crypto can chill away from online heat.
23. Unique Passwords - Be the #Enigma - Different for every site, like a spy with multiple aliases.
24. #VPN - Your Internet Cloak - Because public Wi-Fi is as safe as a chocolate teapot.
25. #Keyloggers? Not On My Watch - Keep your devices cleaner than a germaphobe's hands.
26. #Mobile Firewall - Your Phone's Bodyguard - Because your phone needs protection too.
27. Public Wi-Fi? More Like Public Why-Fi - Just say no, or use a VPN.
28. Router Security - Not Just Plug and Play - Secure it like it's the gate to your digital kingdom.
29. MAC Whitelisting - Only the Cool Devices Get In - Your network, your rules.
30. Personalized Ads? No, Thank You - Opt-out. You're not a product.
31. Software Updates - Keep It Fresh - Outdated software is like an open invitation for trouble.
32. #Encrypt Everything - Even Your To-Do List - Because why not?
33. Offline Maps - Navigate Like a Pirate - Keep your location off the grid.
34. #SSH - Secure Shell, Not a Shell Game - Lock it down tighter than a bank vault.
35. Browser Passwords? Hard Pass - Let your password manager remember, not your browser.
36. **#Ephemeral Messages - For Temporary Conversations**: Use apps that allow messages to disappear after a set time to maintain privacy in casual conversations.
37. SMS? More Like SOS - Secure apps are the way to go for crypto chats.
38. Trackers on Mobile - The Unwanted Followers - Show them the door.
39. **#Security OS - Because Ordinary Isn't Secure Enough**: Go for the fortress, not the tent.
40. Compartmentalize - Bitcoin in Its Own Little World - Keep your crypto life separate from your cat video browsing.
41. Virtual Cards - Your Financial Cloak - Pay without showing your real card's face.
42. **Use Verified Exchanges When Buying Crypto**: Ensure that you purchase cryptocurrency from reputable and verified exchanges to avoid potential risks.
43. **#Decentralized Platforms - Power to the People**: Keep control in your hands, not in some central server.
44. Secure Group Chats - Like a Secret Society - But for discussing Bitcoin, not world domination.
45. Wearables? Maybe Not for Crypto - Your smartwatch might be smart, but is it secure?
46. **Securely Dispose of Sensitive Documents**: Safely destroy any documents containing sensitive Bitcoin information to prevent unauthorized access.
47. Shoulder Surfers? Give Them Nothing to See - Public device usage should be as bland as possible.
The next three are missing, because I would like you to share your top three security tips.
