ISIE 2020 Crypto Hub: Crypto Security, Wallets, and Real Crypto Projects

At the heart of every crypto decision is crypto security, the practice of protecting digital assets from theft, fraud, and loss. Also known as digital asset protection, it’s not optional—it’s the foundation of everything else in crypto. Without it, even the smartest trades can end in disaster. That’s why this hub focuses on real tools like crypto wallets, the digital containers that hold your coins and keys. Also known as crypto storage, they come in hot, cold, and hardware forms—each with trade-offs you need to understand before you invest. You’ll also find deep dives into actual projects like blockchain, the public ledger system that makes crypto trustless and transparent. Also known as distributed ledger technology, it’s not just for Bitcoin—it powers AI data trails, DeFi bots, and even music royalties. And yes, we cover airdrop, free token distributions that can be legitimate or scams. Also known as token giveaways, they’re everywhere—but only a few are worth your time. This isn’t a list of hype. It’s a collection of honest reviews, security warnings, and practical guides from people who’ve seen what happens when things go wrong. Below, you’ll find real case studies: from HSMs protecting exchanges to memecoins built on squirrel stories. Know what you’re getting into before you click buy.
