18. BEST PRACTICES
¡ A Bitcoin wallet is like a
wallet with cash. If you
wouldn't keep a thousand
dollars in your pocket, you
might want to have the
same consideration for
your Bitcoin wallet
¡ In general, it is a good
practice to keep only small
amounts of bitcoins on
your computer, mobile, or
server for everyday uses
and to keep the remaining
part of your funds in a
safer environment
