5 Secrets a Trezor Expert Session Can Reveal About Crypto Security

Not your keys, not your coins. Chances are if you’ve been following the crypto space on Twitter, you’ve come across this phrase. If you’re clueless about what it means, for starters, it could mean the difference between having crypto and truly owning it. You have two options here: 1. Dive into some late-night Google research sessions, and figure out the nitty-gritties of it 2. Sign up for a 60-minute Trezor Expert Session, and have your questions and concerns answered.

A Trezor Expert Session can unveil essential insights that empower you to navigate this landscape of crypto security confidently.

Here are five key secrets that a Trezor Expert session can let you in on,

1. Mastering the Art of Self-Custody

Discover why true crypto security starts with self-custody

Self-custody is the cornerstone of real crypto security. Relying on exchanges to store your cryptocurrency can expose you to risks, such as hacking and mismanagement. We’ve seen numerous instances of that. As per a report by Immunefi, the crypto industry clocked up $572.7 million in losses due to hacks and scams during the second quarter of this year across 72 incidents so far. The majority of the losses came from two exploits alone, one including a Japanese cryptocurrency trading platform DMM Bitcoin, and the other from Turkish crypto exchange BtcTurk.

Trezor Experts will walk you through setting up your hardware wallet with ease

Self-custody lets you take 100% ownership of your crypto. A hardware wallet like Trezor keeps your crypto safe from hackers, malware, and other threats by keeping sensitive data offline. How? As they say in the crypto space, DYOR (Do Your Own Research) 😀!

Alternatively, a Trezor Expert session will guide you through the principles of self-custody. In this session, you’ll learn how exactly Trezor hardware wallets enable you to manage your keys (to your wallet) securely.

2. Avoiding the Most Common Crypto Scams

Learn the tactics scammers use and how Trezor’s built-in security features can help protect your assets.

It cannot be said any other way. The crypto space is rife with scams, from phishing attempts (What’s that? Here’s a little introduction) to fraudulent investment schemes. Hence, it helps to stay on top of certain common tactics employed by scammers, to avoid falling prey to them.

During your Trezor Expert session, you’ll gain insights into the most common scams and how to recognize them. Your Trezor Expert will let you in on Trezor’s built-in security features that help shield you from these threats.

3. The Hidden Power of Offline Security

Discover why staying offline might be your strongest defense in crypto security.

Did you know, one of the most powerful security features of Trezor devices is their offline nature? How many tech products can boast of that?

Keeping your private keys offline significantly reduces the risk of online threats such as hacking or malware.

In your session, you’ll learn how a hardware wallet inherently protects your cryptocurrencies by ensuring that your sensitive information is never exposed to the internet. This is a fundamental principle of offline security. Want to know more? Have all your questions about this answered and learn about offline crypto security in our personalized one-on-one session.

4. Tiny Mistakes Could Cost You Everything

Avoid this common yet devastating error when sending crypto.

Sending crypto between accounts and exchanges might seem straightforward, but a tiny mistake can lead to disastrous consequences. One of the most common errors is pasting the wrong crypto address, which can result in irreversible loss of funds.

A Trezor Expert session emphasizes the importance of double-checking transaction details. You’ll learn techniques to verify addresses before confirming any transactions, ensuring that your funds reach the correct destination. This proactive approach can save you from the heartbreak of losing your investment due to a simple oversight.

That’s just one of the techniques. Have you heard of hidden wallets or passphrases?

5. Why Your Backup is More Valuable Than Your Trezor Device. Learn Ways to Protect It

Your wallet backup is your most valuable asset

In the world of crypto security, your wallet backup (also known as recovery seed) holds unparalleled importance. While your Trezor device can be replaced, your wallet backup cannot. Losing your wallet backup means losing access to your assets permanently.

In a Trezor Expert session, you’ll learn why it is imperative to protect your wallet backup. You’ll also learn ways how to keep your wallet backup safe. Think protection against fire, water, and physical harm.
