Can I use multiple wallets at the same time?

Absolutely, and it's encouraged. A smart strategy is 3 wallets: an exchange wallet for daily trading, a hot wallet (Trust Wallet/MetaMask) for DeFi and NFTs, and a cold wallet (Ledger) for long-term holding. Each has its own purpose and risk is distributed.

If I lose my hardware wallet, can I recover my funds?

Yes, as long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase. Buy a new hardware wallet (a replacement Ledger or any BIP-39-compatible wallet), enter the phrase, and all your assets will reappear. This is why the recovery phrase is more important than the device itself.

Do I need to backup my recovery phrase in multiple places?

Yes, I recommend 2 backups in 2 different locations. If your house catches fire or floods, the copy at a relative's home remains safe. Ensure the person holding the sealed envelope doesn't know what's inside to avoid temptation.

Is a hot wallet safe enough for 50 million VND?

It's acceptable if you have good setup: PIN/Face ID, no suspicious apps, no clicking questionable links, no storing the phrase digitally. However, 50 million VND is close to the threshold where you should consider a hardware wallet (only 2 million VND cost). A hardware wallet provides long-term peace of mind.

Can I create a paper wallet myself?

Technically yes, but not recommended for beginners. Paper wallets require high technical knowledge to generate securely (offline, clean computer). Doing it wrong can create an insecure phrase. A hardware wallet ($80) is a safer and simpler option.
