Five habits that prevent almost every disaster

  • Test with a small amount

    Send a tiny test transfer to any new address before the full amount.

  • Match the network

    The network must be the same on the sending and the receiving side.

  • Guard the recovery phrase

    Keep it offline, and never type it into a website or share it with anyone.

  • Slow down when rushed

    Pressure is the one thing every scam has in common. Pause and check.
