    Lower risk, lower reward. Keep in mind that 401k is not 100% guaranteed either.

    lose entirely with a social engineering attack or a SIM swap.

    SIM swap? You mean like SMS 2FA? (don’t use SMS 2FA, BTW).

    Anyway, if your risk scenario includes a “wallet inspector”, you definitely shouldn’t buy Bitcoin, or carry money around.

      Nobody is going to SIM swap you unless you have a shitload of crypto and let everyone know about it. It’s not an easy attack, so it would have to be targeted. Pretty easy to not be a target (not having millions of dollars of crypto on a wallet helps).
