Choosing the right wallet is your first line of defense. Hot wallets – exchanges, mobile apps, or desktop clients – offer speed but rely on external security. Cold wallets – hardware or paper – keep keys offline, ideal for large holdings. Bridge options like multi‑sig, custodial services, and decentralized exchanges give flexibility. Match risk, size, and usage to pick the right tool. Stay informed, stay safe.

From cypherpunks' manifesto to Wall Street desks, Bitcoin started in 2009 with Satoshi's code, sparking a community that mined, traded, built wallets. The 2010 pizza purchase proved its utility; Mt. Gox grew into a $20B exchange, fueling hype. By 2017 price surged, attracting hedge funds and ETFs, while regulators drafted rules. Today Bitcoin sits at the intersection of crypto culture and finance, proving digital coins can reshape the economy.

Before you dive into a new crypto, run a quick audit: verify the team’s background, read the whitepaper, and look for an independent code audit. Check on‑chain activity—real trading volume, wallet holdings, and lock‑ups. Watch for red flags: opaque tokenomics, impossible ROI claims, or a single person controlling the supply. A solid due diligence routine keeps scams out of your wallet. Stay smart, stay safe.
