Absolutely ! Short story from my end, I held all my crypto on an exchange and had a trading hot wallet. My hot wallet was phished by a scammer and I lost well over USD$11000 worth of tokens. Spoke to trust wallet , made a police report. Nothing ! The thing is my tokens aren't trading yet so they are still in the wallet but the scammer knows they are there and he has a sweeper bot installed on the wallet as well. That woke me up and I realised I need to get my asset offline. So I bought a ledger flex and when I was withdrawing it from the crypto exchange, they wouldn't increase my daily limit cause I'm unemployed and don't have the income required for an increased limit . I can't withdraw my own savings and assets cause I don't earn enough ! Plus they locked the polygon tokens on their exchange and I can't withdraw it out. That made me realise that 100% I need a wallet and I need to get all my asset offline. Not only that , I want a back up. When I came across your videos it made me aware of lots of situation. So along with my ledger flex I bought a 3 set tangem wallet. I will leave the ledger in a safe at home . Set one of the tangem cards to the tangem account and have it with me always in case I'm travelling and I have to transact my coins when I'm aware from home. The other 2 cards will be set for my trading account where I would purchase and transact tokens and fiat. I will have a back up of both wallets in the safe and I'll still have access to them when I travel and the seeds in a bank vault. I am still hoping that I could pull the tokens out faster then the scammers can. But I'm not tech savvy . Took me a $11000 lost to take my crypto security seriously !
