If you just always practice good safety, you'll be fine and avoid all the hacks of exchanges and all that.

• Never leave money in an exchange
• Always store your seeds and keys somewhere safe, private, and secure.
• Never give out passwords to anyone, and use a good, secure password manager

If you do all those, you'll be fine. Once you start doing it though, you'll get in the habit, and it'll all become second nature.

And yes, we are Steemians!
