THE D$ CRYPTO SECURITY CHECKLIST

What your bank does automatically.
What you must do yourself.

WHAT'S INSIDE

8 PROTECTIONS YOUR BANK PROVIDES AUTOMATICALLY THAT YOU MUST BUILD YOURSELF IN CRYPTO.

1

Exchange Security

Why your exchange is an on-ramp, not a vault — and what happens when exchanges fail.

2

Self-Custody With a Hardware Wallet

Your bank has a vault. In crypto, YOU are the vault. How to store keys offline.

3

Seed Phrase Protection

Lose your seed phrase, lose everything. No customer service. No reset. No exceptions.

4

Two-Factor Authentication (The Right Kind)

SMS 2FA is hackable. SIM swap attacks have drained millions. The fix takes 5 minutes.

5

Transaction Verification

Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Wrong address = gone. No chargebacks. No undo.

6

Phishing and Social Engineering Defense

You are the fraud department. No institutional filter between you and the attacker.

7

Portfolio Tracking Across Fragmented Systems

Crypto is scattered across wallets, exchanges, DeFi, and chains. No single dashboard.

8

Tax Documentation

No automatic reporting until 2027. Every swap is taxable. The IRS expects you to track it all.
