Like in real life, your wallet must be secured. Bitcoin makes it possible to transfer value anywhere in a very easy way and it allows you to be in control of your money. Such great features also come with great security concerns. At the same time, Bitcoin can provide very high levels of security if used correctly.Always remember that it is your responsibility to adopt good practices in order to protect your money.

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Utilize 2FA whenever possible to add an extra layer of security to your Bitcoin accounts. This typically involves providing a second form of verification, such as a code generated by a mobile app, in addition to your password.

Two primary cold wallets are hardware wallets and paper wallets.  so, i suggest to go with it.
Use Secure Networks.
Enable 2FA on all your exchange accounts and wallets .

All passwords are only on a flash drive, preferably encrypted, and also never write information in messengers, even to yourself and do not connect wallets to unverified sites.

I prefer to keep my cryptocurrency in a cold wallet and not worry about the safety of my coins.

I have created a backup copy of my wallet: I also store passwords in several places.
