So step number 1, if you're using OpenSea, you have to learn how to use the transfer feature so you can move your NFTs around. That's the first step, right? But the second step is you have to have a hardware wallet, right? So here's an example of a hardware wallet right here. I'm just gonna pull it up. So this is a Ledger, and it's debatable if Ledgers are the best hardware wallets. It's just, I've been using these over the years and they've served me well. So this is a Ledger Nano X that you can use if you'd like. And they're not paying me to say this, but a hardware wallet is basically like your 2-factor authentication, okay? also understanding that hardware wallets are important because when you think about your phone as an example, at least for me, I always have my 2-factor authentication on. And even more important, I'm using 2-factor authentication through an authenticator like Google Authenticator.
