Don’t sign shady smart contracts, enter your private key online, or store it using pictures on the cloud or a password recovery service.

I have no idea what meta mask is but I’m constantly seeing posts like this. What’s making it so easy for people to lose their eth? I only use crypto for gambling so I’m probably just ignorant to whatever meta mask is used for

Metamask is a popular wallet you can use to send/receive/store your crypto on their respective blockchains. Metamask isn’t the reason people are losing their funds. It’s because people don’t properly protect their private keys.

Yeah, the reason for all the posts mentioning metamask is simply that it is the most popular with wallet for people who use smart contracts, and using smart contracts can be risky.
