What steps can I take to assure my assets won't be stolen? I'm paranoid.

Store your private key on a thumbdrive or use a paper wallet

Don't do stupid shit on the computer that you use for crypto. Probably never use your phone for crypto because it is a lot less secure than you think it is

paper wallet and encode your seed phrase with an enigma machine with settings related to something only you would know. After encoding, bury each word of your seed phrase across the world in places no one will look. If you ever forget your seed phrase, just be glad that no one can steal your assets, not even you.

as long as you're not actively being a huge gay retard or falling for obvious scams you should remember that its unlikely your fake internet money will be stolen.

that said
>always verify binaries when downloading new software, if they are not provided be skeptical. don't be lazy.
>use a separate computer from what you normally use for your fake internet money when making transactions
>get a trezor, or multiple hardware wallets if you have very large holdings
>if you have extremely large holdings its worth considering casa if you want someone to walk you through all the possible ways your fake internet money can plausibly be stolen
>either engrave your key on metal split into pieces or just buy a cryptosteel thing
>consider shamir secret sharing if you are worried about physical security - its on the trezor wiki google it
>consider encoding your seed in the manner of your choosing so that it is otherwise not available in cleartext for an intruder to quickly figure out what it is
>if you do not want a hardware wallet fresh install linux offline, generate keys offline, and sign transactions on this laptop and never connect it to the internet, effectively making it a hardware wallet. you then take the signed transactions to a separate computer and publish it to the chain thus ensuring (or making it more likely, there are never guarantees) your private keys are never on a network enabled device

If I have to take that particular gun out it's to kill a robber or go to the range, so if my wallet is stolen I'm definitely dead.
