snip---quit playing with wallet private keys and take them more serious like you doing with your bank account.

That's what should have been applied from the start. We must be wiser and more concerned about managing various data related to our cryptocurrency assets. Make special files or special notes to make it easier for us to manage them.
I often hear complaints from my friends who lost connection with Google Authenticator for several reasons, for example, because the device is lost, the application is uninstalled, etc. So when you lose your connection, you have a backup of the barcode to re-scan.

The same thing applies to store private keys in a safe place and don't forget to back up.

The focus of most newbie who comes to this forum is money, they forget the security thing such as private key, their identities ane something else who related to money.

Actually this problem can be solve easily if they want, just simple they must come to begginer and help section and active for a few days before they make a comment on this forum then I believe there is no one who will be scammed by other people. Even their knowledge will add because there are many usefull thread for newbie and generally for all members.

Actually the beginner section aids newbies a great deal, but best thing is to explain everything security and its importance to newbies when you bring them into crypto. It's true that newbies focus more on the money making aspect, which is not entirely their fault most times, some old members who introduced them fail to give them the thorough basics / fundamentals. I created a group for newbies last two years and took a week talking about safety and security.

I don't understand why newbies keep making such mistakes. Everywhere on the forum talking about the safety measures for beginners and I believe that it is impossible to ignore them. Anyone who comes to the crypto should first learn all the safety rules. The, who this not made, himself is to blame in is that his coins stole.

Quit underestimating wallets and figure out how your wallets works either its ETH erc20 based wallets or multi walllets,you lose your private keys or recovery seeds you lose your coins and tokens,I was in a gathering on message when somebody posted his private key guaranteeing he didn't get an airdrop tokens,I wonder what may have transpired as of now,its like some still don't have the foggiest idea how genuine there wallets recovery seeds and private keys are,quit playing with wallet private keys and take them more serious like you doing with your bank account.

Actually any person will be serious to his funds. Newbie aren't serious with private key when they have nothing to lose. Only newbies are doing wrong, phishing site visit and fill up form with private key

The world of crypto can make you earn a lot of money, if you are skilled (and lucky ...).
But if you are inattentive, at every step you can lose everything and even more: the chances of making mistakes or being trimmed is very high.
It's called natural selection.
Maximum attention, therefore.

We all passed through that phase; every expert was once a newbie. It's only appropriate to learn how it works and improve oneself so as not to fall victim to these mistakes. I remember filling an airdrop form that requested my private keys. I just inputted my wallet address twice.

in order not to become a victim of scammers or a victim of their own stupid mistakes, when a person comes to this market he must study as much information as possible and live in this market. then he will become a professional faster

Since some can hardly tell the difference between private and public key such common mistakes are bound to happen, the overwhelming of receiving a few worthless tokens distract the ability to think properly, why posting priv key just to prove a point when he/she can provide the public key for scan, I can only imagine what must have transpired after such silly mistake.

I'm reminded of the past when I didn't really know about using my wallet and always lost a few dollars due to my own negligence in accessing the wallet (trapped on a pishing site) and keeping it in an unsafe place. from there I started to learn a lot about storing the best crypto assets in the form of a hard wallet like (trezor) and wouldn't do anything stupid like telling people about my wallet's private key.

If he is not really using that wallet and there's no airdrop or coming in the wallet, in short, it has become a disposable wallet, he can do anything with it, even exposing its private key, but he should not do it many times, he might find himself exposing private keys where all his coins are all there, he will be sorry for doing that.

We are responsible for our holdings and earnings so we have to be mindful all the time. Upon entering crypto, we should know the importance of handling our wallets. Some newbies are actually blaming the wallets that they're using during the uncertain situation. Sometimes, our negligence is resulting in losses. Just like how we handle our atm cards and passwords, we should also keep our private keys safe and secured.

Still many of newbies are not aware of their private keys. I see some of them do provide private keys to get some free tokens either from airdrops or from fake bounty projects. Some of them unknowingly save their private keys on their Bitcoin Forum account. In fact I did save my private keys on my bitcoin account. Newbies should know the fact that they should not share their private keys to anyone. Only they should share is ERC address.

Most of them make this mistake as either they missout on saving the private keys or else save it in their bitcointalk forum account I lost access to my blockchain wallet due to same stupidity in the past and they should save the private key in their email to keep it secure and accessible.

Your password or private key must be saved in a copy that can make us more confident when an asset is lost then we already have a copy of it. but some people consider this to be an easy thing so they often ignore it

This is a beginner who overly ignores passwords, which is actually the most important thing to be able to enter the world of crypto, what else is related to assets or valuable things and ignore them and unnoticed when suddenly Exit without anticipation.
Although there are many other ways to store it, I am safer to anticipate by writing my password on paper and I laminate to protect it from things that are not desirable and store it in a safe place.

Private key is the most important thing in a wallet so it must be well guarded too.
privatekey should be stored on disk and Google Drive and don't forget to pack it with WinRAR then give a password so that no one knows it.

My favourite of all times is a colleague who left his seed words on the office common table after discussing his wallet with friends.)

I don't how can someone expose their private key. It is like your are opening your gate for scammers to pillage your assets. Im sure these are newbies trying to learn the ins and outs of the crypto space. Feel sorry for them to loss their assets that way.

The best thing is you can save all the keystore files, private keys in a safe place. If you save them on your computer, keep in touch with your computer security.

Nope. The best thing still is using metamask to secure your coins. That's still far the best. If you'll be storing your private key somewhere, it could still be compromised. But with Metamask(also recommended by MEW, it has layered of protection to secure yourself.

They are newbies and it is one of the factors why they lose their private keys. When I was newbie, I always double thinking about my decisions for me to protect my funds from scammers and hackers.

somehow what's on the newbies minds, they are very easy to provide the identity like KYC, other important data and the worst is exposing the private key for small penny, without thinking about the problems that will be caused later, the internet is an open world and small mistakes can punish you severely.

These happen to mostly beginners in crypto industry taking lenient on private keys even clicking phishing sites that make their wallet got hack. Even my friend is a newbie in crypto he doesn't know what he is doing to protect his wallet. So by giving him advice to always keep safe the private keys and never shared with anyone.

In most cases mistakes are made due to carelessness. I do not want to tell that I am a very big professional, because when I started working with cryptocurrency, I also made a lot of mistakes. Once I also lost access to the wallet, because I gave not the wallet address, but the secret key. And I made this mistake due to the fact that the wallet address and secret key were saved in the clipboard of the keyboard of my smartphone. The sensor responded to finger touches, but I did not bother to double-check the data that I sent. I want to say that everything happens and everyone can be wrong.
