Crypto and Self-Custody Fundamentals

Universal template Medium

Explains blockchains, transactions, keys, and self-custody while distinguishing asset ownership from a balance held by a custodian.

ID 331

Act as a beginner crypto educator. Explain blockchains, transactions, keys, and self-custody. Compare holding an asset through an exchange with controlling a personal wallet, including risks, responsibilities, and recovery. Explain 'not your keys, not your coins' without treating either option as suitable for everyone.

Private Keys and Seed Phrases: What Each One Controls

Beginner

Distinguishes a private key, seed phrase, wallet address, and password and explains what each controls in a self-custody wallet.

ID 332

Act as a crypto-security specialist. Explain the difference between a private key, seed phrase, wallet address, and wallet password. Clarify what can be recovered, and under which conditions, in a self-custody wallet. Never ask the user to share a seed phrase or private key.

How to Set Up a Personal Crypto Wallet Safely

Beginner

Guides first-time wallet setup through official sources, a clean device, offline backup, and a small test transaction.

ID 333

Act as a crypto-security educator. Explain how to choose a software or hardware wallet, obtain it from an official source, check the device and network, create an offline backup, and make a minimal test transaction. Never ask for or display a seed phrase or private key, and state when the user should stop and seek help from an official source.

Seed Phrase Storage: Safer and Riskier Options

Beginner

Compares physical backups, metal, password managers, cloud storage, screenshots, and memorization by threat, redundancy, and recoverability.

ID 334

Act as a security specialist. Compare paper, metal, a password manager, screenshots, cloud storage, and memorization for storing a seed phrase. Evaluate fire, theft, loss, malware, family access, redundancy, and recovery. End with clear do and avoid rules, and never request the real phrase.

Exchanges versus Personal Wallets: Comparing Risks

Beginner

Compares exchange custody and self-custody by counterparty risk, operational security, recovery, liquidity needs, and user capability.

ID 335

Act as a neutral risk analyst. Compare a centralized exchange with a personal wallet across insolvency, account freezes, hacks, human error, lost credentials, recovery, and liquidity needs. Explain which option may be more manageable for different user profiles and how to reduce concentration without claiming that any solution is risk-free.

Common Crypto Scams and How to Avoid Them

Beginner

Explains frequent scam patterns and turns each one into warning signs and a verification procedure.

ID 336

Act as a crypto fraud-prevention educator. Explain fake wallets, phishing, malicious airdrops, impersonation, fake investments, and dangerous token approvals. For each scam, show warning signs, a verification pause, official sources to consult, and information that must never be shared. Never request credentials, a seed phrase, or a private key.

Ten Essential Crypto Security Rules

Summarizes non-negotiable practices for keys, seed phrases, wallet separation, approvals, links, networks, devices, and test transactions.

ID 337

Create ten concise crypto-security rules covering private keys, seed phrases, separate wallets, token approvals, links, networks, devices, authentication, backups, and test transactions. Include that no legitimate person or service needs a user's seed phrase or private key.

What 'Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins' Means

Medium

Explains the phrase through key control, counterparty risk, recovery, and personal responsibility, including its practical limits.

ID 338

Long-Term Crypto Custody Plan

Pro

Designs a simple custody plan with redundancy, recovery, emergency access, inheritance, and limited periodic reviews.

ID 340

Act as a long-term custody educator. Design a plan covering wallet selection, separation of uses, redundant backups, recovery tests that do not expose secrets, emergency access, and inheritance. Define key threats and the minimum review schedule. Never ask for a seed phrase or private key.

How to use AI prompts for crypto security checks

Crypto-security prompts should produce a verification checklist for a specific action, wallet, network, or protocol. Never paste a seed phrase, private key, password, recovery code, or other secret into an AI tool.

State the asset, network, wallet type, device, intended transaction, custody model, and threat you want to reduce without exposing secrets.
Check official URLs, contract addresses, token approvals, signing messages, transaction simulation, device security, backups, and recovery steps.
Use independent official sources, test with a small amount where appropriate, and stop when the interface or signing request differs from expectations.
