Oh my god, I just saw a news report that a traffic police officer in Russia directly used violence to steal Bitcoin worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from a detained person's phone, and he was sentenced to 7 years in prison😱

This made me suddenly realize a question—am I doing enough to protect my wallet? I used to only know that I should keep my private keys and seed phrases safe, but after seeing this case, I understand that if even forced access to a phone can lead to theft, does that mean I need to be more cautious in choosing wallet types? Are hardware wallets safer?

And this also makes me a bit anxious. I wonder how everyone balances convenience and security. Where is it better to store frequently traded coins? How should long-term holdings be stored? Also, if a phone is forcibly unlocked by malicious actors, is a cold wallet completely worry-free?

I feel like my understanding of wallets is still too shallow. This incident is also a wake-up call for me. Does anyone have any beginner-level security tips? I especially want to learn how to find a balance between convenience and security🤔
