18. SCAMS: Protect Yourself
⢠Use cold storage - Buy a Ledger Nano S or a Trezor.
⢠Bookmark your crypto sites - Use those bookmarks and only
those.
⢠Only send funds to trusted addresses - Double-check to
which address you're sending cryptocurrency. Look up the
address at etherscan.io and check if there are bad reviews.
⢠Never trust any discord/slack/telegram/reddit message -
Don't ever fall for messages that say you can get free
cryptocurrency or that a hack occurred.
