🔒 The Security Mindset: A Reflection of Responsibility 💡

Total Content Word Count Target: ~150 Words

When you hold your keys, you become your own bank. This freedom comes with the responsibility of ultimate security. **Mirror** the best practices you see here in your own digital life. Your Recovery Phrase is the *reflection* of your assets' security. If it's compromised, your funds are compromised. Treat it with the highest level of care.

NEVER: Take a photo, save it to a cloud, type it on a computer, or tell anyone.

This mindset is your strongest defense against phishing and theft.
