Since my years in the cryptocurrency ecosystem up till date I must admit that when it comes to practicing safety, I am that dude that don't in any way plays with that. Safety when it comes to the cryptocurrency ecosystem is something that you should practice deep down no matter what. As per those in the cryptocurrency we must have come across one or two news regarding being scammed. This is why in all you do out there, we should knows that practicing safety is very vital. The truth still stand that waring against scammer has not been easy as scammers deploy new strategies and ways to get people scammed day in day out. The more good project comes with good mindset, the more scammer use the opportunities to defraud people. If you are in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and the blockchain at large, you should practice safety. Nobody knows when you can get hit. If exchange or big project can be hacked, there is every tendency that anybody out there can fall same.

Safety in cryptocurrency

Safety in the cryptocurrency ecosystem is something that you should hold on to deep down no matter what. The painful thing is that many of us over look safety and the moment we got caught you will see us running from pillar to pole looking for the perfect way to resolve the issue when we could have easily resolved it right from the beginning. I have been blogging and informing us about the special effect of safety daily but to my greatest surprise many still don't practice this, they still sees it as something that is not worth giving attention to. As for you information, just like what I hinted above, when it comes to safety you should bear it in your mind that it is your responsibility to be saved. You should knows that in whatsoever thing that is the outcome from your cryptocurrency journey, I won't be held responsible. You are the one that will be held responsible. This is why it is your responsibility to be saved while running running your cryptocurrency race and not me.

In a nutshell as per the above, safety in the cryptocurrency ecosystem is simply the ability for you to be safe when it comes to cryptocurrency and the blockchain at large.

We all should knows that cryptocurrency is a beautiful thing, ever since it was created in place and push to start impacting the world by the great Nakamoto Satoshi, we have seen tremendous growth and improvement in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. This is why I don't play with the great Nakamoto Satoshi for any reason. He has impacted the world in a very positive way. It is now left for us to put this great tool into good use and practice. We should bear this in mind that in as much we are in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, scammers will surely be part of us. There is no where scammer don't exist, it is out individual ability for us to ensure that we are safe all the time. One thing that we should knows is that in as much that they are new cryptocurrency project surfacing, those airdrop hunters and co, if not careful might get into trouble.

How to ensure you are safe

For you to be safe out there you have to make sure that you are very sure of the cryptocurrency project that you are interacting with. This is the new trend in town i.e in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Don't just connect your cryptocurrency wallet to any cryptocurrency project out there, you don't know the one with bad motive. Before connecting your cryptocurrency wallet to any cryptocurrency project out there you should make me sure that you carry out proper investigation.

How he got scammed

A friend of mine told me recently that he got hacked simply because he felt for a scam that looks easy but smart. This is how it happened. He was really not feeling himself that day so he was browsing through Twitter when he saw a link telling him that snyswap airdrop is now. Because he has been interacting with Synswap, he though that it is real. He never checked on the twitter page and the link that he was asked to click. He click on the link, link his wallet and click on claim, the moment he does that, his Arb Eth all got withdrawn. Just imagine the smart way. From the look of things his wallet wasn't compromise as that is the wallet he is using for farming. I told him to quickly use remove.cash to revoke access given to that scammers to his wallet. He did and the account is fine.

One thing that I will also say is that you should have a separate wallet for airdrop related activities. The moment you make good amount of money from it you should move it out to your main wallet. Never use that main wallet for anything.
