Simple safety rules every Bitcoin user should follow

Think of Bitcoin like cash: if you lose control of the keys, your coins are gone. Use a hardware wallet for large holdings — it keeps your private keys offline. For small amounts you move often, a reputable mobile wallet fits better. Always write down your seed phrase on paper (not in a photo or a cloud note) and store it in a safe place.

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on exchanges and wallets that support it. Prefer authenticator apps over SMS, because SMS can be intercepted. Use strong, unique passwords and a password manager to avoid reuse across sites.

Beware of common scams: fake support accounts, phishing sites, bogus investment promises, and “send first” giveaways. If someone pressures you to act right away or offers guaranteed returns, step back and verify independently. Scammers love urgency.

Check before you click. Always verify domain names, double-check wallet addresses when sending funds, and confirm transactions on a hardware device when possible. A single mistyped address can send funds to someone else permanently.

If you’re trading, use limit orders to avoid buying or selling at the worst possible price during sudden swings. Consider small test transfers when sending funds to a new address or exchange — it costs little and prevents big mistakes.

Want deeper context? Our Bitcoin coverage includes explainers on blockchain basics, policy and regulation updates, and practical reviews of wallets and exchanges. Use the tag to find stories that match your experience level — from beginner guides to technical analysis pieces.
