Are you asking if I still dare to put large amounts into hot wallets? I can only say, when I can't sleep, I go check transaction records and punish myself...
When assets weren't much, a hardware wallet was enough, like stuffing cash under a pillow—reliable but don't lose it; when it reaches a size where "losing it would make me break apart on the spot," multi-signature is more like giving the keys to my future self and two trustworthy friends. The trouble is a bit more, but at least it's not wiped out with a single slip. Social recovery, huh, suitable for those with poor memory and fear of backups, but honestly, you also need to choose the right "friends" first, or else you're just outsourcing the risk.
Recently, that "compound yield" staking has become so noisy, like stacking dolls. I feel a bit guilty watching: on-chain yields are tempting, but better not let the private key get compromised. Anyway, I now think: yields can be slowly harvested, but don't gamble on safety, and definitely don't click confirm randomly at night.
