I think it's been clear for a while now that if you intend to hold crypto, you should probably do it at the biggest, most boring, most regulated institution you can find.

Same goes with startup banks - if you exceed FDIC limits, make sure the difference is in a large institutional bank. Nearly learned this one the hard way.

Trying to save a few basis points in txn fees in very volatile industries comes at a huge risk premium

Bro hold crypto for yourself. Like take some ownership, remember 12 words in your mind something and no matter what situation you have some money. Don’t put it anywhere except for whatever transactions you need to do

As long as you don't brag about it, I don't really see this being a real world issue. I think credit card fraud is a lot more likely.

Of course a guy with a net worth over a billion dollars would have 11m in hot wallet.

If someone steals my notebook I take a bigger hit on my net worth lol.

Living anonymously is about more than just shit posting. Not publicizing your wealth is a highly effective strategy.
