Please guys!!

DO NOT USE ANY WEB WALLET LIKE MEW, MAKE USE OF YOUR MOBILE OR HARDWARE WALLETS, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE USE OF DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES LIKE ETHERDELTA,IDEX E.T.C MAKE USE OF YOUR HARDWARE WALLETS OR TRANSFER YOUR FUNDS TO A NEW WALLET THAT DOESN'T HOLD ALL YOUR FUNDS, DONT CONNECT ANY DEX TO YOUR MAIN WALLET.

I've always emphasize on this, use Imtoken
Being careful is the best, but one can not be 100%, if you are 99% been careful 1% is enough for the hackers or devil
If you hold up to $1500 my advice is get a hardware wallet, for as low as #40k, contact me, a hardware wallet is a necessity.

A friend recently lost $2000+ worth of cryptic for some insecurity reasons best known to him, you can see in screenshots below 👇

You can't be hacked if your funds are in a hardware wallet except your seeds are exposed or a "$5 wrench attack" was done on you ("$5 wrench attack" is when the hackers/thieves force you to give them your wallet details against your will by assaulting you into submission").

If you dont sign a transaction on your hardware wallet, no matter what the hacker does your funds do not move
Your private keys are never exposed using a hardware wallet
Being hacked is not funny at all speaking from experience, it's the most painful thing in crypto
People get hacked when they make use of DEX and web wallets through phishing links,using same passwords and login details on all their login profiles and fake airdrop links

Let's also be smart enough not to save private keys and mnemonic phrases online or in a cloud storage, never ever save your mnemonic phrases or private keys in your email

This hacking issue is getting serious daily cos crypto is becoming more valued as time goes by. Stay safe!

Hardware wallets are ok, but why would you recommend the mobile?
It is the probably one of the most dangerous options...
