Recently, security vulnerabilities in browser plugins have been frequently exposed, and various risk incidents involving wallet applications continuously remind us of a fact—asset security is absolutely the top priority.

Seeing people lose assets due to plugins with backdoors underscores the lesson. This is also why so many emphasize the importance of non-custodial wallets. Ultimately, the logic is simple: only by controlling your private keys can you truly control your assets.

"No your key, no your money" sounds like a slogan, but in actual asset management, this is the iron law. Choose reputable, open-source, transparent non-custodial wallets, regularly check application permissions, and avoid installing plugins from unknown sources just for convenience—these details often determine whether you can survive longer in this market securely.

It's that same private key supremacy theory again. Not wrong to say, but why are some people still lying dormant on exchanges? --- Hey, don't just talk about theory. How can you tell if an open-source wallet is truly open-source or fake open-source? Has anyone been scammed and can share their experience? --- It's easy to say. If I install the wrong plugin, my account is gone. That psychological shadow really can't be cured. --- I just want to know if those who got hacked were really careless or targeted phishing. It doesn't seem that simple. --- Yeah, it's poor self-management and then blaming the plugins. After so many incidents, I haven't dared to use browser wallets. --- Is holding onto private keys really that difficult? Why are some still so eager to use various third-party solutions?

Once again, plugin mining backdoors—it's really outrageous. I've already seen two people get exploited around me. Holding the private key is the real key; don't touch custodial wallets. What kind of plugins are you installing? One vulnerability and it's gone; not worth it. Basically, it's just greed for convenience, but the assets end up wiped out. Can't you learn? Hardware wallets are the correct choice. It seems troublesome but it's truly reliable. Downloading plugins from unknown sources is playing with fire. An incident is just a matter of time. Managing your private keys on your own really has no shortcuts. Be cautious or pay the tuition fee.

Another plugin failure, I'm starting to wonder what kind of weird thing I installed --- Private keys are really not trivial; only after being exploited do you understand --- Honestly, most people are still too greedy for convenience, and the result is getting cut off --- Non-custodial wallets are indeed the only way out, stop hesitating --- After seeing so many bloody cases, I now have to think for a long time when installing plugins --- Ultimately, self-management is too difficult, but there's no other way --- This reminder came at the right time and saved me a lot --- No, your key is truly the iron law, no doubt about it

Damn, it's the plugin again causing trouble. I told you not to install random stuff. --- Having your private key in your own hands is true asset ownership; everything else is nonsense. --- Does anyone still use custodial wallets? Tired of it? --- Those who got hacked probably just wanted to save trouble. That's the price to pay. --- No, your key is really not just a slogan; it's a bloody lesson. --- Every time I see stories of theft, I want to ask, why don't you manage your permissions properly? --- Open source and transparency sound simple, but how many people can actually find reliable wallets? --- Plugins should be used with caution; if you can avoid installing them, do so. --- Managing your own assets may seem troublesome, but it's definitely better than being hacked. --- Ignoring small things like regularly checking permissions—serves you right.

Once again, someone has fallen victim. Really, you can lose your coins just by installing a plugin. I just can't understand how some people are still so careless. If you don't hold your private keys, how dare you play with coins? Isn't that suicidal? Wake up quickly. This lesson is paid for with blood money. I hope future users won't make the same mistakes. Plugins should only be installed from official sources. All others are traps. Don't you understand that? Wallet risks are numerous, yet some still seek convenience. Truly incredible. Small details can be deadly. Don't blame the market's cruelty; blame your own carelessness.
