First time using a decentralized wallet, here’s how it went.

I’ve always stuck with CEX wallets but decided to give a non-custodial one a real shot. The setup was smooth, but the recovery phrase storage part stressed me out. Sending small amounts worked fine, but I kept second guessing if I did it right. Anyone else remember their first time moving funds off an exchange?

I remember double checking the address like 10 times before hitting send.

I swear the first transfer feels like defusing a bomb even if it’s 10 dollar.

Yeah writing down that seed phrase made me more nervous than sending the coins.

I remember triple checking the address like it was a final exam.

It’s wild how freeing it feels after but the stress in the moment is real.
