Got crypto holdings? Here's a thought—spread them across multiple hardware wallets if you can. The reasoning is simple: it reduces risk in one place. Now, if you're just getting started or resources are tight, don't sweat it. A single hardware wallet beats keeping everything on an exchange or, worse, scattered across online accounts. Security in layers makes sense, but even one proper wallet is a solid move. ✅

Using multiple wallets is indeed safer, but the reality is that most people just get by with one wallet, haha.

NGL, spreading risk across multiple wallets is definitely a good idea, but when it comes to actual implementation, it really depends on your own situation... However, a hardware wallet is much better than keeping assets on an exchange.

NGL, the decentralized wallet thing is right, but most people probably can't even manage a hardware wallet haha

Multiple wallets are truly decentralized; I've been doing this all along. The exchange's pile of funds has long been exhausting.

NGL, having multiple wallets spread out does feel psychologically comfortable, but the reality is that most people haven't even set up a single hardware wallet correctly...

The theory of diversifying risk across multiple wallets has been heard many times, but honestly, exchanges collapsing happens even more often.

Is it really necessary to distribute funds across multiple wallets? Honestly, most people haven't even bought a hardware wallet.
