Guys is it safe to just put the purchased tokens on the exchange? cause i dont have a wallet in my android app. is it possible that it will be stolen? and claimed to be hacked? Am i doing the right way? Please can anyone help me. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is safe to put it on the exchange, all exchanges have security measures to secure one’s investment, However it is more better to have a wallet such as Myetherwallet, Coinbase, etc. to be more secure and keep it safe. Remember just be more responsible with your private keys.

Coinbase is not a wallet and where you can't store tokens yet maybe in future can.But now coinbase only supports four cryptos BTC.ETH,LTC and BCH.

For OP it is not safe to store your crypto in an exchange because you are not controlling the private key so chance of hacking is possible so move it to a wallet which have private key access.

you should keep it in the wallet so that your tokens are not lost, because I've lost some BTC in coinsmarkets which until now the market can no longer be opened with reasons hacked by hackers .. maybe not just me who experienced similar things, so to maintain security you should move from the market

You don't own the coin unless you own the private key, at least that's how I look at it.
Never use exchanges for storage, they can be gone in a matter of seconds.

Absolutely yes! As long as the exchange site will not get hack.

Of course,it is best to keep in your personal account in your wallet than on the exchange,as the exchange can close at any time and you will lose all your coins,so it is definitely best to keep the coins in your wallet,and on the exchange to display those tokens that you are going to trade

as soon as you make a deposit on an exchange you are no longer safe! it is not about leaving it there for long, it is the very second your deposit is confirmed and it becomes irreversible.
the exchange is holding and controlling your money then and they can decide to scam you and run away or you get hacked and lose and a lot of other stuff happening.

this is one of the risks of trading.

If you don't have a lot of money and coins on the exchange's account, you can keep it there in a short time, or if you are a regular trader, then you have to put it on the exchange. But the usual way is to deposit your wallet and keep the password. Because even the largest exchange can't fully guarantee your account's safety.

Thank you for your humble correction. I appreciate it. Its my bad i think i need more knowledge from my senior’s here in the forum.

It is totally not safe except if you have them for day trading then you can leave them on the exchanges, but if you are a long time holders. it is best you leave them in a wallet you control the private keys for them.

A big NO for that one. Never store your tokens in an exchange. Keep it in a personal wallet like a hardware wallet or paper wallet. Make sure to back up your private keys.

Don't keep your investment in currently exchanges because they may be hacked in any time. From hacker or goverments no matter.

People speak correctly. Do not keep your money on the purses of the stock exchange, at any moment something can happen and you will lose your money. It is best to keep on cold wallets from which you have a password!

Yeah sure.
Exchange is same like Wallet.
But exchanger can do Trading.

Only for a short time if you're going to be trading. If not, transfer the coins to your local wallet. You wouldn't want to take a chance on something happening to the exchange, look what happened to $NANO on Bitgrail.  :-\

Definitely safe, as long as your pc isn't hacked with keyloggers and so on.

Although it depends on the exchange, for the most part it is safe and some people keep it there.

its not advisable to store your coin/token on exchanges because you dont control your private key if the exchanges got hack you could lose your coin/token theres so many android multi wallet out there that you can control your private key and you can use my https://www.myetherwallet.com for your erc-20 token to store your token.

 top 10 of exchange markets are safe ,but i didn't know the small exchanges . by the way you can install IMtoken APP for  eth platform wallet in your phone.

I think you already know the answer, you just need confirmation.

No, it is not advisable to make exchange wallet as long term storage of your tokens or coins. If you are going to be a day trader, you need to keep your coins on the exchange wallet for ease of use. But if you are holding for long term, store it in a safe place or wallet. There are lots of kinds of wallet, not just android wallet. Find one that suits your need.

As long as you are keeping your account information safe to the public, you are in good situation.
Just make an everyday look on your exchange coz some of it is announcing some tokens to be delisted on their platform.
If that happens and you are not selling or sending it to other exchange or wallet then its a loss.

Yes, most problem start from the client. When they give private keys and private data to another people or put on strange websites.

Well i keep some alts im holding in exchanges though it will feel a lot safer if you get a wallet. It's not that difficult to have your own wallet anyways. I think as long as your coins are in an exchange, they're not really yours. The exchange may close or may get hacked or whatever. Take effort to create a wallet dude.

it is safe to put tokens on exchange, they have also there security. but its more safe that you put your tokens in your wallet. if you dont want to trade your token yet just keep it in your wallet. you can use myetherwallet or other wallet that can keep ERC20 token and keep your account information to the public thats for your own safety also.

Nope. Its never safe to store anything on an exchange. The exchange might get hacked and you might lose all your tokens. Databases might get leaked and your account information exposed causing your account to be hacked without you even noticing. Or the exchange might end up scamming the users. Always store your coins somewhere secure and don't rely on exchanges.

Yes, it is safe to put your tokens on exchange if that exchange have all security features and google authentication feature to login and transfer then your tokens are fully safe.

Bro, risk is everywhere, everything can get hacked or stolen, even life has no guarantees, what you can do is only invest and trade on good reputable exchanges, use strong password and enable authenticator code for access to your account so that only you can access your funds and account.

No, it's not safe. My friend just lay there like tokens he bought. A year later he went to the Exchange to see what's going on, and the tokens it has increased in price very much, but the Exchange has blocked it. He had to undergo a long and tedious verification of the person, which lasted for 3 to 4 months. Therefore, it is not advisable to store on the Exchange.

It is safe if the exchange have any authentication feature to do any transfer then you are fully secure but i prefer to hold coins in online wallet.

Although, if you still go about installing any software wallet on your android, it is not also 100% safe, but safer than exchange wallets. Exchange wallets are liable to hack depending most times on the exchange you are using. Notwithstanding, some exchanges still have their system intact and and their security system is good if only you  lock it up with 2FA.
The best wallet you can ever use is hardware wallet. It is 100% safer inasmuch as you are the only person handling it.

I don’t think exchanges are safe place to store your tokens for long term. You will never know whether the exchanges will close down or run away with your money. It is advisable to store the tokens in a wallet you control the private key.

I don't think putting money on the exchange is really safe. Hacks, temporary froze actions and just dumps happen from time to time and surely money is a lot safer in the wallet with good security. However, I also have some of my money on the exchanges, because I kind of get tired of getting to know the needed wallets. It's good if it's erc20 token, then myetherwallet can really hold everything, but holding coins is a lot easier on good exchanges than in different wallets. I guess both options have some ups and downs.

store it in an offline environment, we can't say when will the tokens you've purchased will moon so the hackers will take an eye into your exchange wallet, take note that there is a possibility that the website will be compromised so always mind the question what if this happens? if you still want to store your tokens there, make it sure the account is fully secure, set up the two-factor authentication, withdrawal passwords, google authenticator and other security measures that the exchanges have.

On exchange hold only the amount that you need for trades. Avoid phones. PC's are not so safe, but phones are weaker. Invest in security money and time to learn more about it.
Hardware wallets are good (Ledger Nano S, Trezor and such), but buy them only from official stores. MEW is safe, but install add on to avoid phishing sites.

I think put some tokens on an exchange is safe but you must set 2FA in it.
After now I still save my token in exchange and I haven't a problem with it.

It is never completely safe to put your alternative coins in exchange wallets. Exchange hacks happen regularly. Also exchange may steal your money and go. etc. These things are more common than many people expect guys.

It is much better to store you coins in online waller such as MyEtherWallet and WAVES. Although exchanges have security measures, you can't still risk your coins being taken away.

         I  strongly think it is  safe to put the token on the exchange if that exchange have all security features and google authentication feature to  login and transfer then your tokens are fully safe

It is safe to put tokens in the exchange that is what i am doing for sometime especially if the token doesnt have there own wallet yet but once the token dev made the cold wallet i make sure to transfer everything to it because better to take precautions than get nothing for your hard work like  :(what happened to me in Bitgrail. :( :( :( :(

For trading activities there is no other choice to leave part of the crypto currencies on one or more exchanges. Of course the general rule is never leave your funds on the exchange. An exchange, it's like a wallet, suitable for everyday expenses but not to keep all your asset.

I leave some of my cryptos on 5-6 different trustworthy exchanges. They are very large groups, whose bankruptcy is definitely unlikely and thanks to two-step authentication and confirmation via email is quite secure (not 100% of course).

The exchanges are never safe. SOmetimes is not even a hack, but their owners the ones that close the business and say "it has been hacked". That´s the problem in crypto, nothing is safe.

there are no safe place for cryptocurrency either your own place or other place,
2 possibilities that can happen if you are storing it on exchange;
if you are storing your money on exchange,you will be targeted either by their staff or hackers.
for example what poloniex did to some people(targeted by staff or exchange itself),
they're blocking their users account without a proper explanation,and until now nothing changes.

Well we all know that hackers are really targeting trading platforms so for me its not safe especially if you hold huge amount of tokens in an exchange. What I do is just let it sit on my MEW wallet, and then when its time for me to dump it I will just deposit it. At least you have control of your private keys if you just let it sit on your MEW, meaning you have total control of it.

No! and once again no! It is very risky to keep funds on the stock exchange purse, because at any moment the exchange can close and you can do nothing more with money, with your money, which has already become not yours.

No, exchanges are not the place to store your coins/tokens other than for trading purposes. You should get your own wallets. If you want something easy and secure, buy a hardware wallet for less than $100.

In my opinion, It's not safe very much. Not anywhere totally safe. But Exchanges have a big probability to get hacked than wallets. Some centralized exchanges hold our account private keys in their servers. If somehow it got hacked, you will lose your funds. So I think the best option is the hold your coins in a wallet and send them into exchanges when you need.

I don't think is going to cost you much by getting yourself a wallet, get Myetherwallet and be careful because having wallet those not give one hundred percent guarantee that one will not be hacked, be very cautious of everything you do either with the exchange or you get a wallet.

If you don't want to use that token for trading, then you'd better go install a wallet app quickly because storing your tokens in an exchange isn't always safe as you expected.

Yes, but you should choose one of the top exchange platforms like Binance, OKEx, etc. And remember that it is better to put your tokens in 2-3 separated accounts instead of one.

You should get a mew wallet,it is the most trusted wallet by the community if we are talking about the erc20 based tokens which are commonly used with these ICO tokens,it is going to be safe for you if you arent going to purchase tokens using those android app because these wallets are more vulnerable with these hackers because it is being targeted most of the time.

Theres a higher chance of getting hacked with these app or android wallets because these wallets are more prone from hackers plus these wallets are mostly open source that is why we should stick with the mew or myetherwallet.com wallet because it is the safest way to store your ethereum and erc20 tokens,do not trust any wallet other than mew and a hardwallet you can use both to be more secured!

Use myetherwallet.com wallet so that your tokens will be safe,use metamask extension everytime you are going to use dex or decentralized exchanges so that you wont need to put your private keys manually,do not use app or web wallets because they are very prone to hackers and your computer could be affected by some malware or viruses so you should get some hardwallet to be safe!

It is not entirely safe as there's news about exchanges got hacked and got their fund stolen, althought it's not common but there's always the possibility of it's happening. Some dodgy exchange also like to block your account for whatever reason. If you want to put your tokens at exchange, i suggest putting it on big exchange like binance and use the 2fa auth to protect your account. It's better if you can afford hardware wallet so you don't have to worry about the security anymore.

Not going to be safe if you are going to put your private keys in decentralized exchanges,if you are planning to use dex like fork and etherdelta you just need to get some mew wallet + install the metamask extension so your private keys wont be asked by these exchanges because you will lose a lot of money when you didnt use metamask extension.

For me it doesn't really matter where I store my coins. I use wallet if I wan't to HODL, but in most cases I prefer to trade so I deposit them on exchanges and hope that they are safe enough there, as I usually use only Binance and Kucoin.

Nope it isnt safe for us to buy tokens using these app wallets, we should be using myetherwallet.com because it is the most trusted and safest wallet for these erc20 based tokens,shouldnt be using these web and app wallets because they are more prone from these hacking,never trust anyone with your private keys and use metamask as always.

It is best to store on your personal wallet that you own and have the private keys, if you want to trade then you can move your tokens to the exchange and if you are a day trader you will have to take the risk of using and storing on exchanges.

It depends on the exchange, if it is a trusted exchange, then its fine.
although some say it's risky, reason being that exchange might close or something

IF IT IS A MATTER OF BIG MONEY, YOU SHOULD NOT KEEP YOUR TOKEN IN EXCHANGE WALLET. EXCHAGES LIKE BINANCE, OKEX, KUCOIN IS SAFE.

I keep some of my cryptocurrency on Bittrex for more than 1 year and there were no problems. However, the safest way to store it is in a personal purse. It's even better if this wallet is cold. I think that soon the most popular crypto currency exchanges will be decentralized,  for this reason you still have to get your own crypto currency into your personal wallet.

You will safe if you are going to use mew or myetherwallet.com ,because it is the most trusted and safest way to protect your ethereum and ethereum based tokens which is erc20 tokens,use metamask extension if you are going to buy those tokens from a dex or decentralized exchanges so that you wont need to put your private keys manually because you can be hacked,avoid those app and web wallet because these wallets has more risk of getting hacked.

It is always better that you should keep your token in offline wallet like trazor, if you do not trading since the long time. You can any time transfer your tokens on exchange when you want to trade that tokens, but there you should be sure about security of that exchange. If exchange have  the two-factor authentication and google authentication then your tokens may be safe.

Yes and no, it is safe if the exchange will not be hacked or scam by its owners and the safety of your token on it depends on how you secure your accounts. As much as possible if you have a desktop download a wallet or atleast some site that you will have the private key.

Yes it is safe, but you must download a wallet already or make a wallet in myetherwallet.com if you don't wan to download a wallet, but I think you eventually will because you can't withdraw your money without a wallet.

I also put tokens in decentralized exchange like Etherdelta and idex, and so far i dont get any problem, but i heard all exchange has issue about security and hacking so to be more  safe if you want to keep tokens for long term investment, like more than 1 years will be better put in personal wallet and you own the private key.

I think it's not entirely safe, because, for example, the Bittrex exchange recently eliminated a significant amount of coins. And what do you think, if you bought tokens and left them on the stock exchange and eliminated them, then where will your money be? - Nowhere. When your coins in online wallet, such as Myetherwallet, do not risk to be eliminated. You can also sell your tokens on other exchanges if they are stored on a cryptocurrency wallet.

This is a very dangerous way of storing any crypto. You must use your own wallet and keep coins there. I think that you understand that exchanges are often being hacked, so your coins can be stolen. The safest way is to store coins and tokens on the hardware wallet.

As what we have knew, nothing on this planet is totally a safe place to keep our valuable thing specially on internet. Exchange are not meant to be a storage, it was place to buy, collect or trade your token/coin.

Why not download a wallet apps either on your phone or workstation, or consider buying some hardware wallet which is more safe.

size of the exchange doesnt matter, look into the security system of their wallet. Also look at their kyc and aml procedures these are extremely important for any investor

Tokens are not safe anywhere, if you don't have strong password and if you don't enabled the 2FA Google Authentication security feature.
According to me whenever you buy coin from exchange, then first see there security features like 2FA Authentication, Rating of the exchange and also peoples have trust on that exchange or not.
If you see these all features in exchange, then you can buy coin from that exchange otherwise you will search for another good exchange, who have these features.
Then definitely your coins will be safe on that exchange.

you can keep them on the exchange but it's riskier. I've had miota on binance for 4 months because of the lack of a decent wallet, nem on poloniex for 6 months because the withdrawal fee is massive and it's only a small amount of nem. and traders keep amounts on exchanges all the time to trade.
but... If you are keeping all your crypto on the exchange you have no fallback. I would be nervous to leave everything i own on an exchange so I have a hardware wallet.

Go Green!

Depend on the level security of exchange , if you use mayor exchange like Bittrex, Poloniex, Binance etc will be safe  because they has high security features. Make sure when log in from right link and use clean device. And one more thing use minimum.2 different exchange to avoid other risk because no one can guarantee that exchange does not have problem later.

I think it's safe because I also keep a lot of tokens in the exchange because it is definitely guaranteed safe in exchange.

It depends on what exchanges you're referring too,if that is reliable and legit so much better because if the coins is in exchange and time comes you wanted to enter a trading then youre funds is ready to be in transaction..this is what im doing though i have in my wallets but i have in exchanges too like when the dip happens i stopped trading ,waiting for recovery to start trading again

if you're stupid then yes, it's probably better to keep them at an exchange. if you're not stupid, it's better to keep them yourself.
if you hold your coins properly, noone can ever steal them.
exchanges however, can steal or lose them in some way.

I wrote a long text about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3147362.msg32538628#msg32538628

I hold 80% of coins in different wallets and 20% at several criptocurrency exchanges. I think that it is not good idea to keep all coins at criptocurrency exchanges. It is better to manage coins in more safe way :)

You have to specify which exchange you want to use to safe your tokens. You could trust Binance, because it is the biggest cryptoexchange on the world.

In my opinion, you shouldn't store any of your altcoins on an exchange unless you want to trade the tokens in the short term. Holding your coins on an exchange has a lot of risks associated with it such as hacks, etc. Its better to hold your coins on a wallet that you control their private keys

Better safe than sorry.

It is very often safe, the main thing is to protect yourself on this exchange and take precautions. I have some coins lying in investment portfolios on the stock exchanges.

yep, it is safe but its prone to be hacked that the only problem with it..

D88

It's better not to keep the tokens on exchanges in case of long-term investment. Use wallets.
Also I recommend you not to trade tokens using your smartphone and not hold tokens there. Always use a computer! It is safer and you can use different kinds of wallets - online, desktop, hard. 

 

If your investment is not big enough to be transffered to your own personal wallet, then you should leave it there as it is not economical to move such an investment. Sometime ago, i wanted to move fun to my mew from binance, the charges was very high, i just abandoned the withdrawal as it is not economical.

I can't say that it's really safe to let your tokens on the exchange. There are certain times that it is better you keep it in your own wallet or cold storage if you are not going to day trade. Based on experiences and knowledge, some exchanges have been breach for example ED. That time I was trading when suddenly my accounts were drain (Eth), buy luckily to have it back. There would be times that thing like that happens even they have maximum securities. Don't bother thinking about burning some gas transferring your assets, it's a preventive move and a wise one.

There are some exchange that is not safe like etherdelta, this exchange is not safe because one of my coins was lost. No verification request, but you need to fill your private key and address. I don't know where it goes. Just keep your token in your MEW, only do a transaction if necessary because if you lost it, it will never be come back.

Leaving tokens in an exchange will never be safe. Everybody knows that exchanges also have issues of being hacked like the one on etherdelta. Lots of funds left on the exchange were stolen. Better create a wallet that can secure your tokens well. Goodluck.

there are many trustworthy exchange but even they are secure they have the possibility to be hack. the are exchange site that has been hacked liked coincheck and bitgrail. also etherdelta they can't be trusted. better buy at different exchange sites in case unexpected problem occur so you will still have something left.

so far I have no problem losing in exchange. Yes, as long as I keep active in trading everything is safe and under control. I suggest, if you are an investor and tend to hold back. you better look for a good wallet you can keep your altcoin in MEW

So far it is a centralized exchange, it is safe due to its high security measure, but the most better way to safe tokens is personal wallet, which you own the private key to it.. If you're holding for long it is not advisable to store on exchanges it is better you store on your personal wallet, but for day traders you are good to go.

If you are going to store your tokens on an exchange, it must have a high level of security.Yes, it is possible that it can be stolen but exchanges are taking necessary steps to secure your private keys in cold storage, to avoid losing tokens in case of any security breach. But it is best if you store tokens in your personal wallet and keep safe your private keys but your wallet can still be hacked if you are careless in securing your private keys. For long-term holding, personal wallet is the best option for short-term day trading, exchange is best to avoid withdrawal charges & it will be time-saving.

If you want to put tokens for long term in exchange, for the better chooce decentralized exchange like Idex and fork delta for ERC20 Token, these exchange offer you to own the private key and will be the samething if you put the token in MyEtherWallet. But if want to put tokens let say for more than 2 years will be much better keep it in personal wallet like coinomi.

Storing in any Exchanges isnt advisable for long term holding, there's a higher risk of hacking and security breach thats why they are putting tons of security measures to avoid such attack. Exchange as well arent designed to be a personal wallet. You can store your assets offline by using a paper wallet, but of course you need to be extra careful not to lost it.
Personal wallet with 2FA and private key will do if youre storing just medium amount of asset.

Looking at which exchange you store your tokens. I can advise you to store on Qryptos, they keep all the tokens in cold wallets and security at altitude, but this exchange is not suitable for trading.

I'm sure don't have money on the exchange, except for small amounts.

If you are in to long term holding, storing in any exchanges is not advisable. There is a higher risk of being hack and security breach. That's why they are putting a lot of security to avoid this such problem. Exchange are also not designed to be a personal wallet. You can already store your assets offline by using a paper wallet. But still make sure that you will be extra careful so you'll nit lose it.

No its not safe, but many peoples know that and continue use exchanges because its one place to hold many tokents and coin
in other way you need download wallets for each blockchain

Wow look at that!

The answer is off course a big NO!

Exchanger is the horrible place to store your tokens and if it got hacked then no you can reclaim what you had their. It doesnt provide your the private keys too so its even harder to recover the tokens if something goes wrong with it.

And no you are doing it the wrong way, you should get yourself a private key enabled wallet like MEW, Metamask etc.

You dont need the android app or so to get your wallets stored. Thats bazaar too think like that. You an always have online wallets.

If you will store them for short time then exchanges are just fine to store on them but remember to always enable 2fa on the exchanges you are using . But if you are planing to store for really long time without use them then a wallet is the way to go with .

Just a warning even if you have 2fa on , never store token on an exchange you are using an API on it .

Its somewhat ok to put the money in exchange, most of us did it for so long and didnt have any problems, exchanges are making millions of dollars, and i am certain that they invest in the proper security

Yes, just make sure you are on a legit exchange platform and double check the address bar because there are some cases of exchanger sites imitated to by phishing sites. Double check also the address when you are going to receive and send your funds to make sure that everything is correct and to avoid losing all your tokens.

You can try KuCoin which my day to day exchanger in all my transactions and I have never encountered any problem using it. Of course, you can try other exchanger but make sure to research its background and review of other users to avoid loss/hack.

safe, as long as you are always active. I think you only need to activate the exchange security so that no one can access it other than your own.
During this time, I keep some altcoin that I trade in some exchanges. everything is no problem

I don’t think it is safe to keep your coins in exchanges for the long term. It is better to keep your coins in official wallets or hardware wallets.

As long as you enable all the security feasures with your account in any exchange I think it's just fine and it would not be hack. Enabling the 2fa and security questions is the  the safest and the best way we can do to protect our account and our crypto assets in it.

I trust big stock markets like binance, I keep it safe there.

Don't put your coins in the exchanges if you don't trade them. Because it the exchanges is comprised all of your funds will be lost. Only put your coins for holding in MEW or other wallet that you have your private key. But if you want to hold your coins in exchange it should be in Binance because its much safer compared to other exchanges. But always have cautious and protect your funds.

If you don't trade actively then withdraw all your tokens, never hold your long term tokens in exchanges. This is simple and most powerful security you can do alone. You should not trust any of the centralized infrastructure. Even the best exchange platforms got hacked or turned to scam in history.

Yes it is safe to place it on your exchanger because the security is good if most of the people are relying on it so before you choose the market to place your coins then always ask reliable person in order to evade problems in the future.

No, it is not safe to store your purchased tokens in the exchange. You will never know when the exchanges will have problem or closed down.

its never safe to store tokens or bitcoin on exchange... i now of a friend who lost a total of 19 bitcoin after making such mistake

Not so safe but I keep some amount of my  short-term coins on a few exchanges,I dont wanna transfer small amounts every day to MEW and back again,paying quite big fees to exchanges.

 If you are trader, you need to put coins on the exchange wallet for easy trading. However, if you hold for a long time investment just store in your personal wallet ,because it is not easy for trading ,you will not sell them easy.

It is totally safe to put your tokens on the exchange if they have all security safety measures like 2FA which can not be cracked.Always keep your private key in safer place and never share it to any one in any circum substances.

Never ever leave your coins on idle on a certain exchanger unless if you are actively trading them then putting them on exchanger would be an advantage since you can able to make fast trades since the tokens are just on the wallet but if you bought a coin and tending to hold for long term then it would be much better to store it on a wallet on where you do posses its private keys.Each coins do have its own platform been used and it do really have an specific wallet or storage.

Putting your tokens on any exchange is always a little bit risky but if you trade on solid famous exchange like Bitfinex or Binance, that's ok,you can trust them.

In many situations, it'd safe if you store your asset on Exchange despite of Wallet, for Example is MyEthereumWallet, which you can lost all with a Private Key. Exchange will give you 2FA-Authenication, it's very secure. Further more, if your coin have a big price fluctuation, you can sell or buy faster.

It is never safe to put your tokens on exchanges and any one saying that it is OK to put your tokens on exchanges doesn't knows what hes talking about. Exchanges are getting hacked on regular basis and no exchange is safe from a hack and putting your tokens on exchanges is foolish and you should withdraw your tokens as soon as you but them.

if the token you have in the market that has a trust and has a very high trading volume of course safe to do token transactions transit to the place of exchange. before sending the token you should prepare ethereum at the sender address used for fee (gas).

Security problem in the world of cryptocurrencies on the first place. Every month report about the large stolen sums.
Therefore upon purchase at the exchange of a significant amount of tokens or acquisitions of tokens for long-term investment it is necessary to remove tokens from the exchange on own wallet.

If your exchange will provide you all the security features like 2FA and you enable or turn on your 2FA security features then it will safe to put your coins on exchange otherwise you can safeguard your coins from hackers with hardware wallet.Hardware wallet is the best wallet to safe your coins.

Yes it is very safe to do that
All you have to do is secure your account with 2fa and keep your phones off from strangers
Then you are all safe

Congratulations on the Green Day’s lately

Imagine the situation when you give your money to some uncle, whom you do not even know, but you know that he provides some services, but still you should understand that you are giving money from your wallet to someone else's purse, this is the most important thing that you must remember

If you search before you put your tokens it is safe I think. I don’t see any dangerous putting the tokens on the exchange. There are reliable exchanges and I can suggest you to use idex and binance. They are safe for me.

You have no other choice if you want to trade. Anyway you have to trust some exchange. One advice - if you afraid to loose money, never put all of them in one place. Diversify as much as possible.

Of course this is not safe, you can even freeze funds if you simply store them on the stock exchange and do not trade. I received such a letter from Poloniex once.

Certainly not safe. My opinion is that you need to be either ready to fail or very able to do it. It's all the same risks.

It may not be lost or hacked. Depending on whether your Trading wallet does not have enough protection like 2fa Google Securty Code. Or you may be victimized by phishing sites. The hackers will definitely know your password immediately and it might have been stolen.

it will be safe as long as the trading website is protected against hackers. But once a hacker gets in, worst case is you'll lose your tokens/coins.

or maybe you are thinking of avoiding transaction fees? well, my opinion is that, I dont risk it all for a small transaction fee.

Store your token in MyEtherwallet to avoid your token stolen. MEW has good security and good flatform to make at engage for the best ICO project.

You will safe if you are going to use mew or myetherwallet.com ,because it is the most trusted and safest way to protect your ethereum and ethereum based tokens which is erc20 tokens,use metamask extension if you are going to buy those tokens from a dex or decentralized exchanges so that you wont need to put your private keys manually because you can be hacked,avoid those app and web wallet because these wallets has more risk of getting hacked.

If you're buying tokens in altcoins get a proper wallet first if you dont have one MyEtherWallet is the best free online wallet out there. After that you can transfer it the exchange site and still it is safe there. But becareful oh phishing sites so you wont lose your money.

I was doing like that putting my tokens into exchange even I don't have any verified wallet, and it was done good without any bad things happen, and in the next following days I asked a favor to my close friend to used their verified wallet in order to transact my tokens by changing into real money and it was done also good and that is my very first time of earning income in cryptocurrency business.

Well, everything can be happen so there's still a possibility but exchanges have some guarantee to their customers if something happens to their system. As long as you will be careful with your action then there's nothing to worry. Security of exchanges are now being more developed and definitely it will be hard to be hacked.

Is it really hard to download a digital wallet on android phone? I don't think so. I'm not saying that exchanges are not trustworthy place to store your holdings, it's just like that it becomes more prone from being stolen such as when hackers attacked or the exchange suddenly freeze itself.

Try to use Coinomi for your tokens because it is good and supports different tokens (just search for its reviews  to make sure).

Actually, if you store cryptos on exchange floors as large as Binance, OKEx is almost safe to trade for a short time. But if you choose to hold mainly on it will be very risky. So for most guarded reasons, I suggest you keep your wallet MEW or hardware wallet such as Ledge Nano S or Trezor to avoid hackers attack.

Yes I think it safe to put your token to exchanges because all exchange now have secured platform became their 2fa. But their is possible that it will stolen because of hacking in their exchanges so I think you need to put your token in safe plaçe that you are the only one that know the private key. It's better to have your own wallet instead to put in exchange.

I strongly believe, that exchanges are for trading, not for storing. Exchanges can be vulnerable and I would not recommend it for holding a token.

No. You should only have coins on an exchange if you re actively trading it or if it doesn't have a wallet yet.

It all depends on the trust you have for the exchange. some exchanges have cold wallets that will help store your coins in a safe place for you. These are the wallets the exchanges use to protect the exchanges tokens.

It depends upon the situation, if you are on trading you have no choice but to put your coins into an exchanges bu5 if you plan it to hold for long term better put it on safe place like hard wallet. If you plan to just put it on an exchanger better choose the exchanger which is high reputation like BITTREX,POLONIEX,KUCOIN, and BINANCE. For safe wallet i suggest to use IM TOKEN, MEW , and any hardwallet which is capable to store your token.

It depends on the exchange, I think in general is not safe especially huge sums. I read several times that some exchanges under various pretexts avoided returning funds to their owners

This is not a good idea as putting your tokens on exchange floors is a risky move as it may be lost at any time. The safest is to store Token in the wallet MEW (MyEtherWallet), which is how I choose each time the need to save Token. Storage on exchange floors is only suitable for day trading.

It is fine to put your tokens in an exchange you want within 24 hours of desired period that you want to trade in. Try to not let it stay for too long in an exchange because we will never know when hackers will attack.

for my own experience is quite safe to put in exchange because it is trusted security in exchange exchanges.

It depends on the exchanges that if the exchange is secure then it is safe to put it on exchange while if it is smaller and not much secure then do not put it on there and stay then on your address.

We never get worried if we just left our tokens in any exchanger waiting for it sold, but provided that site is secured and not a pishing site. I've always doing that and I'm not losing them even it takes for 2months in their sites.

It is always better that you have to keep the token in an autonomous purse as trazor if you don't trade long time since then. You can give the tokens at any time at the exchange when you want to trade in these tokens, but there you have to be sure of safety of this exchange. If exchange has two-factor authentication and authentication of Google, then your tokens can be safe.

hello,

please note below points for your security of  tokens on exchange:

always keep 2fa security active of your all exchange account, otherwise you may lost your funds.
always keep the backup of your 2fa security. it will help in-case you lost your mobile.

some tokens (erc20) you directly get in to my ether wallet. there is no 2fa on the my ether wallet. so you need to keep your private key safe way.
avoid to keep the private key on mails, it may hack & your funds will be lost.
if you are not sure about the my ether wallet security, you can purchase ledger nano or trazor wallet to keep your funds safe. kindly buy the wallet from authorized dealer or supplier.

I hope above information will be helpful to you

If this is a small amount, then it is safe. Not only is it safe but profitable. Since transferring coins permanently means paying commissions!

It is the same whether a small amount or a big amount if they know how to hack your account they still doing on it.
Storing your token or coins in exchange site is so risky you never know if that exchange site will get down, I also storing coins or tokens in my exchange site but not intended for a long time maybe weeks or a month of staying my tokens I know it is safe.

None exchange is safe enough to hold your tokens there. Each of them can be hacked. But as far as you need to trade your tokens, then it's better to choose the most reliable exchanges like Binance, Kucoin, OKEX, Huobi, etc.

Nothing more safer than of you myetherwallet of any other stand alone wallets compared from the trading site's exchange wallet. You're more vulnerable to be hacked which I think attackers might be able to dig up on the funds that you have. However it always depend on you on how you trust the exchange site you where you belong.

If this is a popular and reliable exchange, then your coins will be safe. But if you have a large amount, I would advise you to buy a hardware wallet. This is the safest way to store coins.

While it is relatively safe if one chooses big reputed exchanges, do not forget about the Mt. Gox incident. Safer to spread your tokens across multiple top exchanges and also use strong passwords and 2FA to protect your account from hacking.
Good to keep some tokens on your local wallet.

It will be only safe depending on the exchanger you are using because there are issues about exchangers that some of them cannot really handle the growth of cryptocurrency and they will just close the market or there are people that their coins are gone just so simple.

I would not advise you to use the stock exchange to store your coins, as this could lead to very bad consequences. It's best to create a purse and keep your crypto assets there!

This is terrible advice. Why spread the tokens in different exchanges if they can be hold in wallet or Ledger. No point of putting tokens in exchange unless you are going to sell them or trade them.

There are a huge number of exchanges where you can buy or sell a crypto currency. Each of them has its own characteristics, but in many respects they are similar to each other. The main drawback of them is the high risk of losing investment due to the actions of intruders, law enforcement agencies or unscrupulous owners. These drawbacks are deprived of decentralized exchanges!!!

Sincerely speaking don't think your tokens is safe in the exchange site, the longer it stays there the more risk its exposed to, for example someone have hacked my hibtc account

Your best bet would be to store your tokens in an offline wallet like ledger or trezor. While exchanges do have some layer of security over your assets, they can not be fully trusted to protect your tokens because they are constantly a target of hacks and breaches most of the time. Keeping your tokens offline is still the safest avenue

If u are long term trader its better to create one wallet in your pc and to have coins there, but if u are daily trader u need to keep your coins in exchange.

If you find reliable solid exchange then there is no worries that you can put your tokens into this service. But much more important thing it is that some tokens are acceptable in some services.

I would not keep bought tokens on stock exchanges, because you can not know what will happen to this stock exchange tomorrow (maybe it will just disappear). It is better to use an offline wallet.

I agree with it. There are many trusted exchanges, but how many exchanges closed without refunds? How many exchanges were hacked? A lot.

yes it is safe, no one may steal on the exchange, because security in the exchange is guaranteed. just you do not forget your password / private key in the exchange, if forgotten then you will lost all tokens that you save on the exchange

If you're doing the right way then there is no possibilities that it will loose. I did it sometimes by putting some of my coins just for selling or even buying but is still on my wallet. The only concerned with that if we entered the wrong site or we may say pishing sites, it surely everything will loose.

That is very dangerous when put to the exchange on the floor. You may lose cryptos at any time when hackers invade. So if you trade Token on exchange floors in a day is acceptable, but if hold for long-term, absolutely should not. You can put your cryptos into online wallets like MEW or hardware wallets like Trezor, Ledge Nano S.

Some exchanges are safer than others, however nothing is totally 100% secure from hackers, so just keep your tokens in an exchange if you will trade them in a short time

I think that the exchanges are designed to leave their coins or tokens on them, you put orders to sell and trade coins or tokens. The main thing is to keep passwords and other personal information in a safe place.

It depends on the amount of tokens you have. If you have big tokens I will advise to store it in the App rather than in an exchange. You do not have the private keys to wallets in Exchanges. The choice is basically yours.

.

Why keep the tokens in the exchange unless going to trade them?
Wallets are made to keep coins and tokens, not exchanges.
I suggest to keep your tokens in wallet like MEW or hardware wallet like NANO S

 Exchange platforms are not the best places to store your coins, they are not only vulnerable to hackers, but also makes it difficult for you to cases coins when you need them

It's the best if you keep your tokens in wallet instead of exchange because there is always chance that you will lose it. On another hand when it's in your wallet you can find more ways to protect it. If you need a wallet for phone you can check Enjin wallet, last time i used it, it was really good. It support Bitcoin, Litecoin, Eth and tokens or most of them.

 hope above information will be helpful to you

It really depends on the situation. If the coin you are purchasing to has a lesser amount of trade value, better make sure to withdraw it immediately to avoid getting delisted on exchange that may cause your altcoin to vanished. Holding your altcoins in exchange is good, but holding it on your wallet is much better.

Do yourself a favor, never keep your tokens on an exchange except you're trading it to keep increasing it or increase your BTC or ETH holdings. If that's not the case, then store up your token in a wallet where only you have access to your private keys. Or you use cold storage such as ledger nano or Trezor wallet

I use exchanges only to sell the tokens. I never store them in the exchanges, as in many cases the exchange suddenly stops supporting that particular token. But then, what is the need to store them in the exchanges, when we have MEW?

It depends on what exactly exchange you will use . Putting your funds on a top-tier exchange gives you 99% chance that your tokens will not be stolen , but you still have a chance to lose them in case of delisting from exchange or because of regulators policies if you are a person , which is not allowed to operate with cryptocurrencies .

Hello colleagues! There are a huge number of exchanges where you can buy or sell a crypto currency. Each of them has its own characteristics, but in many respects they are similar to each other. The main drawback of them is the high risk of losing investment due to the actions of intruders, law enforcement agencies or unscrupulous owners. These drawbacks are deprived of decentralized exchanges, such as EtherDelta.com. The EtherDelta exchange allows you to deal with the Ethereum blockade tokens. Its operation is based on smart contracts. The decentralized nature of the trading platform allows you to buy and sell tokens without the need for prior entry of funds into the stock exchange. All assets are stored in users' wallets, and the exchange only coordinates their exchange using block and smart contracts. The managing center is not here.

You can send your tokens to the exchanges when you are ready to trade the tokens for other coins or maybe ready to cash out and take your profits, there is nothing wrong with that. What you should never do is to use exchanges to store your tokens in the place of a wallet and just leave them there because your tokens are more at risk if you just leave them in an exchange

The tokens I bought are on the stock market sites. There's money in my wallet that I only get in prize campaigns. You should look at evaluating not holding on stock market sites. You can continue trading by buying the time you want.

So, it is safe to put your tokens in exchange, if the exchange has all the safety features and Google auth function for the input and transmission, your tokens are completely safe.

That is not completely true. If the exchange does not have proper infrastructure and security measures in place to protect their hot wallets, the tokens can still be lost.

Once you transfer your tokens to an exchange, it is just a ledger entry in their books. Some of the tokens are stored in a cold offline wallet while the rest of the tokens have to be stored in a hot wallet for liquidity purposes.

Many of this thing are doing of those people which is wise. If they think wallet from outside exchanges are not trustworthy, they store it in markets. I agree with this dids mate but make sure before storing it in some exchanges, make sure that its a secure market.

at any use of personal data at a conclusion from some stock exchanges it is necessary to be accurately!

if you put your tokens in the decentralized market I think it could be risky, because the world of crypto is full of risks, so my advice you should have a wallet to store your tokens

Tokens stored anywhere are not safe, especially in exchanges, because it can be hacked at any time and will no longer work. It is better to store  tokens on the hardware purse in  opinion.

but good exchange compensate the loss if it happens. besides big exchanges are making progress in providing security systems so it will be a hard task to hack them.

no, it's not safe. Exchange are much more often attacked by scammers. There are alternative options that will help reduce the risk of damage to a minimum. You just need to understand the typology of electronic wallets and choose the most suitable option for your needs from the number of proven applications.

what if the coinsmarkets happen to the exchange you mean? will they replace all the money that has been hacked? I think it's not possible because the amount is too big so I think the safest is saving itself

It is not safe to store your tokens on the exchanges, because there is a high risk that you lose them sooner or later, even if the exchange is decentralized. The risk is very clear with the centralized exchanges which can simply scam you anytime, or getting hacked. The same issue of security is existent with the decentralized exchanges, and we remember the security problems in the famous exchange Etheredelta a few months ago.

this is not safe, because some exchanges have technical problems that do not allow to use tokens when it is needed. secondly, it is the exchanges that are most often hacked by hackers, and there are many examples. try alternative storage methods, there are now enough of them.

Well the safety of exchanges vary, some exchanges are safer than others are. We all have heard of hack cases where millions of dollars worth cryptocurrency has been stolen never to be recovered again, I'd therefore won't advice anyone to store coins in exchanges unless you trade often, and even then don't put too much, store your tokens in your wallet, if possible hardware wallets

You can keep your tokens in exchanges but you should have all the security measures like Sign-in alert, authenticator, etc., activated. However, exchanges do sometimes get hacked so its better to keep your tokens in your wallet of which you have the private keys to access. Your best bet can be a hardware wallet like Trezor.

Yes, more than reliable , of course with the cold wallet can not be compared , but for example on binance to keep more than

It is more safer to put all your tokens in exchange site because you're already know that it has a potential to grow compared to unvalue token it's more risky ,it may result to scams.

No, no, no!! Never!! The only safe place to store your cryptos is in a Nano Ledger. This is not a debatable topic; anyone who does, does so at their own risk!!

It depends on that on how many long you plan to hoanit tokens. If long you don't lerdat, then the best option - to hold at the exchange. If you want to hold tokens long, then it is the best of all to use equipment rooms and e-wallets. Appartany purses are considered as the safest, but they cost money.

If you have a long-term trader, it is better to create a wallet on your computer and have there the coin, but if you have a daily trader, you need to store your coins in return.

Trusted exchanges are very safe. But there's still a chance of some "technical issues" so no one is 100% safe, nothing to do with that :(

I think that you take it only to the head about the safety of your wallet. On the exchange, hackers can steal. There are a lot of ways to steal and deceive people. Simply, I'll take a look at the addresses of the links you are going through. And not when the links do not go to the number of wallets

Many people consider such storage as the most dangerous because of the fact that exchanges can be hacked. But I very often keep my money on exchanges, because it seems to me that I chose the most reliable of them. In addition I always diversify my funds between 5-7 exchanges.

Of course, on the exchanges dangerous to keep funds often we see that vzlamali a particular exchange. No one is immune from this

You need to make sure your computer is Clean and Safe, if not better store in exchange, even it possible exchange getting hacked, but not all of them, anyway, I recommend buy a hardware wallet to store and secure your assets for long term

It is always better that you have to keep the token in an autonomous purse as trazor if you don't trade long time since then. You can give the tokens at any time at the exchange when you want to trade in these tokens, but there you have to be sure of safety of this exchange. If exchange has two-factor authentication and authentication of Google, then your tokens can be safe.

Of course not. Because it is not known what will happen to the stock exchange tomorrow. If bmrzha closes then all your coins will burn. The exchange itself does not bear any responsibility for your money, you can not even complain.

I would not advise you to use the stock exchange to store your coins, as this could lead to very bad consequences. It's best to create a purse and keep your crypto assets there!

What kind of cryptocurrency are you talking about? It's always more risky to keep your funds on the exchange, but using popular cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance, the risk of stealing your crypto currency is minimal.

I think no it's not good to put your funds in any exchange because there's possibility that your funds will gone once the exchange will hack.

Actually is the same, you're imposed to more hacking if you use such exchanges because it's popular that people are trying to steal your data.
I think you need to read the news of some people that got hacked there account because they are phished, the more popular the exchanges, the higher chances that hackers will target that exchange.

In crypto world nothing is safe. You can keep your money in the most safe wallet or the biggest exchange, but there are always people who can find the way to hack it. But if you want to put tokens on the exchange, choose the best one

If you don't have a lot of money and coins on the exchange's account, you can keep it there in a short time, or if you are a regular trader, then you have to put it on the exchange. But the usual way is to deposit your wallet and keep the password. Because even the largest exchange can't fully guarantee your account's safety.

If the amount of money is small, I don’t care. If the amount of money is huge, I feel that I will be worried when I put it there. There is no absolute security.
I think it’s safer to put the coin in the wallet, the exchange may run at any time, or the network is attacked.

putting the coins that we have will be more dangerous if placed in the market because the market is very often hacked and many hacjer who try to hack the market so I advise you to faithfully coin you have on the wallet hardware or else

secure and whether or not depends on how you use it. However, in fact, anywhere that is not safe. on the stock exchange are quite prone to be hacked and even on his own wallet can also for hacked. but it all depends also on the use of sloppy and not in use. but always think positive, and I think in the bursa will be safer than in the wallet.

Of course it's not safe. Everybody knows this, and you hear it constantly. You have 168 activity points, so the question is odd because that means you've been here for a while.

It is certainly not safe to put it on the exchange. But you have no choice, because most of the tokens are erc20. Based on the Ethereum network, the main network has not been released, so you can't extract it to your own network.

I think if you choose something like binance and huobi, then your token is safe.
However, if you choose some small exchanges, you may face security problems.

currently tokens has its own security. but you need to know is that the exchange can be hacked, the computer you use can be hacked. then be careful and do not be careless.

I believe you need to find a way and create a wallet. The exchange may fail, or it may be hacked. On the exchange, you may lose all your tokens.

So far I have no bad experience in placing my tokens in exchanger. I will not endorse, I will just share my experience. Before , if the token I am holding is listed in hitbtc, I am transferring it to hitbtc. Well, it did not happened that I lose my token in that exchanger.
Hhmm, but I think it depends upon the exchanger if the exchanger is trusted or not.

I feel that mine are pretty safe at Binance - I wouldn't be too sure about the rest of the exchanges though

If you are holding it for a long term then you can make an online wallet and hold it there, but if you are going to be trading it or holding for short term, then you can send it to exchanges,most exchanges are secure.

It's not recommended to put your tokens in any exchanges for holding. You should be aware exchanges are prone to hacking. Only put tokens in the exchanges if you are going to sell or traded them.

Lucky for you, since there's a lots of incidents about exchanges being hacked better to think twice before making any decisions, you can check the token information if there's any other ways to have a wallet that can handle your coins, it's better to think for extra precautions not because someone tells you that it can be safe or not, it's your obligation to reassess and to make sure to make it safe, it's your hard earned money anyway.

In case some fund will be stolen from Binance - the whole crypto market will be dropped. I would like to agree with all messages above that you have to be very accurate with keeping all your savings on the exchange. Also, some scams online wallets have the same risks

for more secure you better keep your funds in privacy and no one knows it. because no system is safe. it's better to keep your security private because you will be more free to do things with your money

Do not keep money on the stock exchange ever. Download all official crypto-currency wallets on your computer and store them only there. Do not risk your money, simply because it's more convenient to keep it on the exchange.

I think yes, but only if you choose high security exchanges like Bittrex, Binance, yobit, Okex and some more. These exchanges are impossible to beat any security. I can feel totally safe when my coins are here. Sometime my high value altcoins are stay in exchanges for 5-6 months. So there is a no chance of stolen and hacked!

Nope it is not safe. Some exchanges have technical problems that do not allow to use tokens when it is needed. Exchange are much more often attacked by scammers. There are alternative options that will help reduce the risk of damage to a minimum. Just keep your token in your MEW, only do a transaction if necessary because if you lost it, it will never be come back.

I don’t think it is safe to keep your coins in exchanges for the long term. It is better to keep your coins in official wallets or hardware wallets.

Exchanges are one of the safest place to keep your coins. With the increase in number of malwares and spywares and bad user practices, users are at risk of theft more than ever.
Some of the exchanges provide better security for trade and withdrawals, email verification, OTP as SMS, 2FA hence providing better protection.

The safest thing is to keep coins where you have access to private keys. But if you choose from Exchanges, then choose the top exchange in terms of volume, with them much less can be a problem.

This question should be "Is it safe to put money on the Internet?" as exchanges have all of the risks that your PayPal account also has. First of all, the whole platform can be hacked, then only your account can be hacked (which is more likely to happen) and then the platform devs can just run away with all your money.
There's no way to be absolutely sure your money's safe. Even if you cash out and put them under your pillow.

Absolutely not. Keeping your coins or tokens on a centralised exchange is the worst Idea you can have. it's risky.
if the exchange close or go bankrupt you could lose all your money. Be careful and keep your coins in their wallet, unless you're not a trader.

certainly not safe. if only we are talking about the coins that you trade for a short time. but if you want to keep for a long time and a large amount, you need to start a purse

The most safest way to hold your tokens is to put it to your own wallet where you are the only one who have the private key. If you choose to put your token on exchange choose the reputable exchange nowaday with good volume.

Just because of the hacks taking place over the exchanges it is recommended to keep hold of the tokens on personal wallets. From my experience it is good to hold on exchanges if you involve into regular trading practice. Keeping hold on exchange will provide the ease of accessing, else each and every time it needs to be transacted.

I think the answer is yes - it is rather safe. Very hard to steal your tokens on exchange, because security in the exchange is guaranteed. Jsut be careful with your password and security key and everything will be allright.

Exchange are not a safe way to store your wallet as you don't hold the security of them a hacker can attack your account anytime since the exchange hold your acct private key info you can lost your coins on that exchange. Store your coins to a safe hardware if you don't have a plan on trading it.

Someone logged in to my binance acct from other countries which I'm not familiar with.

And I'm not the only person to experience this when I googled the incident so this is why I don't trust any exchange for now for keeping.

Yes correct, it is safe. You don't have to worry because in terms of security you can actually trust the exchange but you have to make sure all your passwords and other detail are already been  secured for you not to be able to steal by others.

I definitely don't suggest people to put tokens on the exchange for their saving purpose , hold or save should be hold in some kind of cold wallet, the one that doesn't connect to internet to make sure that everything will be safe.

You cant use exchange as your personal wallet, how do you have token if your not chosing any kind of erc20 wallet like myetherwallet. So easy to create a wallet. Go on the website just a minute it finished. Using exchnage might loss your token. Like token in airdrop and bounty,

no it's not. Every exchange has a chance to get screw up with hacking,ddos etc. You don't own your own priv key, so your coins in the mercy of exchange, take polo as an example, they have been hack in their early days i believe and in 2017  they have a withdrawal issue that makes some people coin stuck on their exchange for about 3 months. That's cannot happen if you own your own priv key.

Depositing tokens in exchanges are safe only if those exchanges support high security measures such as 2FA verification. And also its better to keep in touch with news about hacking attemps and ddos attacks to reduce login into cloud sites. But the best way to keep your tokens is put them into a hardware wallet like trezor or nano ledger because its the best and the safest methot at the moment to keep cryptocurrencies.

We never get worried if we just left our tokens in any exchanger waiting for it sold, but provided that site is secured and not a pishing site. I've always doing that and I'm not losing them even it takes for 2months in their sites.

It's depends on the exchange, I have some altcoins that still on the exchange,the exchange has a large volume so  I don't worry that much. But I strongly discourage to put your holding in the exchange, what if the exchange will get hacked or will close like coinsmarket.  Please make sure your account is well protected and activate all the security features.

It's more preferable to leave the tokens on their main wallet!

If we talk about really serious exchanges (for example Binance) i think it's quite safe to keep your tokens here. It has 2 factor authentication and that's really good and important.

It is not safe to hold your funds on exchange, it was never safe and it will never be safe. Exchange can be hacked and maybe they will return money to you in worst scenario they will run away with your money and by the time you run lawsuit to get your money back you will become old. Keep funds in your wallet.

If you want to hold tokens, it not safe, if you want to trade it is ok. Try to hold you cryptocurrency on wallets!

Of course it can be hacked, it's not the only way to lose your token if you store it on exchange, there's news of exchange suspend the user account and if your account get suspended then you will lose your money. There's a lot of cases where exchange got hacked nowdays so it's not recommended to store a lot of money there, just buy a hardware wallet and you are safe.

I agree with you, you need to fear not only the hacking of the exchange. The exchange itself can appropriate funds and say that it was hacked.

Its a matter of choice but one advise is better do not keep your tokens in exchange because it could get hacked any day anytime the best you can do for yourself in order not to lose your tokens and be on a safe side  keep them in your wallet

Use metamask instead of MEW and exchange because MEW might have some security issues like phishing and exchange might be hacked in someday. Metamask is a great use for portability and also security.

It depends on what kind of exchanges and also it depends on you if your token is currently on exchange you need to put a two-factor authenticator  or make it a 3 layer security to be more secured, but for me, exchanges are not advisable to put all your assets there because they are prone to attacks and thieves even if that exchange is very safe or secured for now there will be a possibility that it will be breach in the future so get a ledger wallet or put your assets to any hardware wallet

Its never been good idea to hold your tokens in any exchanges because we have many incidents that many members lost tokens during keep in exchanges and many exchanges already have big issues with security because they have not enough development for this purpose so if you want safety of your coins then keep them in your own wallet 

if you have a plan of making deposit on exchange make sure the big exchange out their like binance and bittrex and activate you full security like 2fa.  but the best thing is get ledger wallet if you have a big amount. because we don't know what happen in those exchange in the future make sure to be safe.

of course no, do you leave your money at the desk ? the best secure way of it, hardware wallets, buy a  ledger or trezor and enjoy your dreams.

P.S: i am fuckin Mt.GOX victim.

If you do frequent trading exchanges are good to keep the tokens. But if the purpose is for a long time trading it is advisable to keep it in a myether wallet. Myether wallet (MEW) is a safest place to store the tokens and i also use Myether wallet (MEW) to store my tokens. For additional security you can install metamask for this and it is a google chrome web extension. It is important to book mark your myether wallet website and always log from there. Do not give log on from unrecognized websites since there are so many phishing websites.

I think personally if it is not safe to keep your coins in exchange for the long term. Better keep your coins in official wallet or hardware wallet.
So security is the safest and best way we can do to protect our crypto account and assets in it.

not at all. all centralized exchange platforms have big risks for traders. it is better to store your altcoins in hardware wallets such as trezor or ledger. and use them in a non infected clean computer.

Yes, you can conduct safe transactions if you select normal exchanges. But you must remember the password. Because if you can not restore it, then just lose your tokens.

Individuals talk effectively. Try not to keep your cash on the totes of the stock trade, at any minute something can happen and you will lose your cash. It is best to keep on cool wallets from which you have a secret key.

It is better not to keep large sums on the stock exchange. Remember or look for information on the Internet about the hacking of exchanges recently. Yes, it is convenient, but no convenience is not worth the lost money. Use the windows wallet version if with android problems.

We have learned from so many cases about that, coinrail, binance, mtgox and many more. They are all getting hacked and all amounts have been stolen by the hacked and it seems like for any reason to keep our amount in the exchange site is not a good idea anymore.

It is a very bad idea, exchanges are meant for making trade and not for storing tokens.Th can get hacked and you may lose your tokens as they may not be able to reimburse you for the loss.

I think it's even better than using Myetherwallet, but of course you should use only very known exchanges, not any new or recently founded.

SOmetimes is not even a hack, but their owners the ones that close the business and say "it has been hacked". That´s the problem in crypto, nothing is safe.

Only when I exchange I put altcoin on the exchange! I never believed in trading platforms (to hold digital money)

To me, i would not like and never cherish to put money on exchange. It was sad to hear that one exchange was hacked and many people lost their precious monies within a twinkle of an eye. It is either i keep my tokens in my wallet or i sell straight.

I'm safe, I've never experienced the problem of storing my token in exchange, but the exchanges I used to use in trading. I make security for my exchange account in order not to be accessible by others. therefore I dare put my token in exchange. but if I choose to hold the long, I will pull it and save it in the wallet.

Exchanges are regularly being hacked so you should keep your tokens there only when you want to do trading.
Why can't you just make a Myetherwallet? It will be much safer to keep the coins there.

Do not even save your tokens in exchange because it will be very risky because the exchange is prone to hackers. If you want to withdraw in exchange alone is not a problem because the control of tokens in the exchange is still under surveillance by our own.

I personally would not advise you to do it. The better option is to keep them in a wallet. There is a fair deal where stock exchanges are hacked and a significant amount of money is being stolen. My advice is to make a wallet.

No it is not secure to keep your funds on exchange your account can be hacked anytime.. yesterday one of  my friend's account on hitbtc was hacked and hacker stole 2 eth in mtc and he withdraw funds through bots i.e my friend's account was buying expensive and hacker was selling to the hacker in cheap.. he was cleaver enough that he didn't withdraw fund to the address

you should keep it in the wallet so your tokens are not lost, since I've lost some BTC in coinsmarkets which up to this point the market can never again be opened with reasons hacked by programmers .. perhaps not simply me who experienced comparable things, so to keep up security you should move from the market

No, there is not safe to hold tokens on the exchanges. I recommend to hold token on the wallets with the private keys which only you know. For example, myetherwallet or metamask.

Personally, I believe that working with reliable exchanges is safe. After all, they guarantee security, are interested in the absence of deception.

I think that in principle work with stock exchanges is safe. But some exchange services are safer than others. But nothing can be protected from hackers by 100%, so you need to remember about security measures.

Everything really depends on the specific situation. I use exchanges mainly when selling tokens. But I never keep them on stock exchanges for a long time, so that they do not stop supporting a certain token.

Tokens are not safe at the exchanges. Because you don't have any private keys to the wallets. Using a hardware wallet is the only way to keep your tokens safe 100%.

You will safe on the off chance that you will utilize mew or myetherwallet.com ,on the grounds that it is the most trusted and most secure approach to ensure your ethereum and ethereum based tokens which is erc20 tokens,use metamask expansion in the event that you will purchase those tokens from a dex or decentralized trades with the goal that you wont need to put your private keys physically on the grounds that you can be hacked,avoid those application and web wallet on the grounds that these wallets has more danger of getting hacked.

Numerous individuals consider such capacity as the most unsafe in light of the way that trades can be hacked. In any case, I all the time keep my cash on trades, since I can't help suspecting that I picked the most dependable of them. Furthermore I generally enhance my assets between 5-7 trades.

It is never safe to leave your tokens on exchanges. The only time that your tokens should be on exchanges is when you are ready to trade them for another coin otherwise they should be kept in your wallets to keep them safe. The worse thing that you can do for your coins is to leave them on exchanges, they are the least safe when you leave them there.

yes!..as long as the exchange you are choosing is with good performance..and really trusted one....there's nothing wrong about it I guess..

I don't think so it is, safer to put tokens in exchange because now we're encountered dump in market in where it has a possibility to decrease the volume and it cause losses of tokens. I think it is much better to wait until the exploding on market .

In my opinion you need to keep only a small part of your savings on exchange . Even if you set a goal to trade, it is better to do it on two or three exchanges. In this case, the risk of losing all your savings decreases.

It is safe only if the exchanger has all the necessary means of protection. First of all, two-factor authentication.All top exchangers have this.

It will be safest if you store it in MEW or hardware wallet. Recently, many exchanges site (Bithumb, Coinrail,..) have been hacked. So putting token on the exchange is very risky. If your account is hacked, the exchanges won't bear any responsibility.

Keeping your tokens with a third party can never be safe more than keeping them with you. Everything on internet is at risk of hacking or breaches. So, if you are asking how much it is safe to keep token on exchanges, then many big exchanges who spend millions on security, can be trusted. But they all are prone to hack in one way or other. It is always advisable to keep your tokens in cold storage for added security.

I try to keep all the coins in my wallet. But if there is time to bargain, then of course I keep the coins on the exchange. I basically trust the stock exchanges.

Yet I am new to this plan. But I do not think that it is worth keeping your tokens on the Exchange. The best place is to store them in your wallet , where they will be safe .

i think holding your token on exchanges can be a risk that we have to face before investing in that exchange, we all know an exchange can be easy to hack than an online wallet because  the developers always focus everything they have on security that will become better than other exchanges, but if you are a busy man, keeping tokens on exchanges is a good idea because it is convinient.

Just purchased tokens is better to hold on MEW or Metamask wallets (if we talk about ETH platform) or on the original wallets, because tokens could be suspended, or you will be surprised by huge withdrawal fee, or trading limit (minimum trade 100 tokens for ex.). Keep your earned tokens on the safe wallet (store keys on usb)

My experience says that it is maybe safe to keep cryptocurrencys in exchange. But I think you should use a wallet for holding

If the exchange is one of the top-rated exchange, then yes, it is cool but if not, you shouldn't leave large funds there... after a trade, you can get it out. Don't forget the fact that wallets are best if you intend holding for long.

I think it is better if you can save it in your own wallet. We have experienced several attacks on exchanges. Best thing will be hardware wallet.

Well, depends on the exchange. But generally it's safe. Just use the most famous ones.

It's safe to put your token in exchange as long as your site is legitimate to exchange your tokens
 I think many people also complain about sites that steal their exchanger funds.

You can send tokens to the exchange and it will be quite safe. If you compare the security of ordinary wallets and exchanges, then they are approximately on the same level.

 It all depends on the exchange but Personally i would advise tokens should be kept in a wallet the exchange could be hacked at anytime your wallet so its best kept in your wallet like an offline wallet would be better

If you do not trade in any kind of coin and do not plan to trade it in the near future, it is better to withdraw it from the exchange to your purse. So it's safer. Even the most famous stock exchanges are hacking and they can steal your money.

Although, i keep some of my tokens on exchange and i choose the exchanges i save on. In doing that, i ensure to put every necessary security measure in place, most especially the 2FA factor. Most accounts thatgot hacked on good exchanges, did not activate the 2FA factor as a security measure.
It is not also about having a wallet on your android. The best way to keep your coins  safe, is by saving them in hardware wallets.

no, it's not safe since it could be hacked
better to store them in ledger or another cold wallet
no one, not an exchange can ensure safety for you

its centralized exchange at the end .. no one guarantee it cant be hacked .. so if you are daily trader keep that amount on exchange and put rest of them to a ledger or private wallet ..

It save but choose the right website then sell it. But before buy and sell. Etheruem is important of the transaction process. So hold save the etherreum. Then sell it. But if have best token. Don't sell it. Hold the long time and best token any time to increase the price. So wait for that time. Then exchange it. So choose the best token then invest and wait for the price increase.  Then if want to sell then sell it. But check the price before sell. This information help time to sell and time to get the more profit.

No, it's dangerous! Keep on the stock exchange only those funds that you trade, if you do not trade at all, the best place to store your tokens is a cold wallet. The exchange can close at any time, it can be hacked and you lose all your money. Do not do this.

Exchanges are needed only for trade, it is better to store all your tokens on cold wallets. But I have not bought a Ledger yet and I keep some of my tokens on the Qryptos exchange (she has a very high level of security)

I think storing your coins in exchanges can bring you some security problems. I am using myetherwallet to store my coins and I think this is a better way than storing them in exchange.

In order not to regrets nor blame yourself for whatever decision you made in your tokens, better secure it first, as they say..better be safe than sorry... you might as well put your token in a more secure storage that only you knows rather than put it to where there is possibility of being hacked..

It's ok to put your money in the exchange as it is very easy to transact if you wanted to. It's safe but not that safe. You can put store it as well on online wallets. But the safest place to put your token is hard wallet. This is the most secure wallet for those who's trying to break-up accounts (hackers). But the problem sometimes, it's not safe from you. Because of you lost your wallet, then that's it you lost your token. So be careful. Regardless of what you use. There are always risk, just be careful on everything.

so far, I don't have any problem to save my tokens on the exchange because I activate 2FA, email verification, and text-message verification before I can log in to the exchange. and if you can do like what I do, I think your account will be safe and you don't have to worry about the attackers. but you have another option to save your tokens or coins to your own wallet and if you cannot install the apps for your android phone, then I think you can search the desktop wallet that will allow you to save your coins.

A significant number of this thing are doing of those individuals which is insightful. On the off chance that they think wallet from outside trades are not reliable, they store it in business sectors. I concur with this dids mate yet ensure before putting away it in a few trades, ensure that its a safe market.

It could be more safe to save in hardware wallets than to online wallet just like from MEW. Yeah, truly hackers have used their expertise to track crack down wallet and get everything they found. That is their job and our job also is to protect our wallet from them.
Also most important thing is that, we should take precaution when visiting site to be sure it is secured and the right one.

There is always a risk of losing money (tokens), and you can store your coins on the exchange, but of course it's safer to store them in your purse from which you have a private key. Create yourself a MEW purse, and store your coins there.

If you save your token in Exchange, I'm very risky disappearing. because there are so many exchanges hacked recently. like what happened in Korea and Japan. I think it's better to keep it in your wallet.

When the transaction is complete you should withdraw the penny on your wallet

Well I think at the moment when the methods of protection are great, I think the exchange can be stored, especially on large binance kukoin, only divided by all exchanges

With some dedication you can create a bunch of wallets and organize them on a spreadsheet so you don't loose track of them, I think it is better than just leaving them on an exchange.

I PERSONALLY THINK IT IS OK IF YOU DONT HAVE ACCESS TO IT IN YOUR PHONE BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR PRIVATE KEY AND IT SHOULD BE SECURE ENOUGH.MEANWHILE TRY TO HAVE YOUR OWN WALLET.

It is not a good habit or an ideal action to store your tokens on exchange sites. For me it is much better to store them on wallets where it is much more secure than those exchange sites. There have been reports of exchange sites getting hack lately so it is much better to store your tokens on wallets to avoid losing them.

Depends on the stock exchange, for example on Binance the chance that you will be hacked is extremely small.

agree, it is like banks that uses your funds and when they screwed up, thats it, goodbye money, it is still best to have your wallet, you can have the power over your own funds, and play it by placing it to trading, tokens are somehow unstable, it depends on the trading sites if they can accept such token, even the stable tokens are not safe in exchange sites, one minute they are accepting you tokens and one minute, your tokens are worthless, better place it to more safer storage, that is your own wallet. just add more security features on your wallet like 2fa and unusual password.

very unsafe, you should keep it in your wallet.
The wallet is made to protect your coins, it will be very difficult to steal, but if in the market, I cannot guarantee its security. it's better that you immediately withdraw it

no, there is no one suggest to put your invested token in an exchange, if you plan to hold it, its better to store it in a safe wallet. but if you do trading then its fine to store it on exchange.

Exchanges are meant for temporary holding of coins for trading after which a user have to send them back to the original wallets. Exchanges are always under attack due to the huge amount of money passing there. Once the security of the exchange is breached, tokens are stolen from the affect wallets on the exchange.

You can often see news that the exchange is being attacked by hackers. Cause the coin to be stolen. And sometimes the exchange uses coins in its own hands to trade.

Yes I have run hundreds of thousands through Binance and Kucoin.  I can vouch for those 2.  Never had an issue.  Just keep in mind this is a bit more risky than going to the local bank. 

if you want to keep, please put it in the wallet. never think that exchange is a safe place, you can read news on the internet about exchange being hacked .. you can learn from that experience. however the wallet remains safer.

The main idea of crypto currencies is a decentralization of money and payments. Thus in my personal oppinion, the best way to store you money/ crypto are wallets. Exchanges is only a medium of conversion. My oppinion in the future, that we are able to change between crypto currencies without the usage of exchanges, thus making the crypto fully decentralized. its just my 2 cents.

For now its better to store in your wallet and probably a small percent in exchanges for trading, buy, etc..

 Smiley

Exchange is not a safe place to keep your coins even if it has a security feature. Exchange is design for trading or exchange your coins. It is better to keep it in your own wallet and do a research on how to secure it.

Exchange is very vulnerable to hacking.
But if you don't have a hardware wallet like TREZOR and Ledger Nano, then maybe it's better to save it on the Exchange.

Keep monitoring the Exchange that you store tokens so that when something goes wrong you can save your token.

May have to be more careful because saving money in exchange, of course, will be more at risk. And this news we often see that much money was stolen. Better you don't long saving your money in Exchange.

It's too dangerous to store tokens on the Exchange, especially foreign exchanges whose head office is far from your home.
Maybe it's better if the Exchange's head office is in your country, so when there is an error, you can go to the head office.

if you are going to trade constantly, it's better that they are on the stock exchange, if you just keep it and you can also on your wallet MEW

It is not good to keep coins in the exchanges but some exchanges will charge a high fee for withdrawing the tokens that's why many people keep their coins in the exchange but people who afraid will withdraw their token to concerned wallets.

It depends on what exchanges you are going to store your tokens. If the exchanges you have chosen has a reputation or something in a top 20, maybe its safe to say that your tokens will be guarded well as long you wont make a mistake in dealing in a certain transactions.

There are many fake exchange android apps in play store please justify using exchange android apps.Because most of the exchange released their official apps for android/ios user.You can put the token in big exchange then there is no risk.I used binance android official apps and it downloaded from their official website.

Actually it is safe if you store your crypto currency token in exchange. But I suggest you better make a wallet and save your crypto currency in the wallet. It will be safer and your mind will be calmer of course. I recommend that you keep your crypto currency in exchange if you have active buying and selling mobility in crypto currencies. You can store crypto currencies in exchange if you use them for trading.

I heard it too playstore recently got flooded with tons and tons of malware app that trying to impersonate the original app developed by the official developers and that's such a bad thing if people dont put attention they might be losing their account data and got their money stolen.
It's always better to download the app directly from the official website than in playstore I guess unless you know how to figure out the original app.

So, it is safe to put your tokens in exchange, if the exchange has all the safety features and Google auth function for the input and transmission, your tokens are completely safe.

It depends on the exchange. If we say about big famous exchange like Binance, Huobi, OKEX, we could say that it is relatively safe cause they value their reputation and return investments after hacking.

I think it is safe to put the tokens on the exchange as long as we can keep our private keys and we can trade directly for the token that we have. besides that, we can see the token price and we can decide to hold for a while or sell to get the ethereum. be careful to keep your private keys because many people have lost their token because they don't save their private keys.

If your plan is to stored the tokens for a long time, then it's better to put all your tokens on your own wallet not on the exchange because you never know what will happen to the exchange in the future. I mean, there are many case about exchange get hacked or the worst the exchange turn into scam.

Surely  it is not safe, we know a lot stories when exchanges were hucked, same dtories with  hucked wallets. I know only one safe method  to safe your rewards - it is diversification, in other words share your tokens between several exchanges.

Unless and until you lost your private key hacking would be difficult. And safe too. But you should choose best wallet to hold your coins. Now a days hacking increasing so keep protect your wallet.

That seems safe. But if the exchange you use is closed then all I think will be lost. So it's better to use a wallet just like ledger to store your store and don't keep it on the exchange for a long time. Because I think storing there has a risk.

I don’t think it is safe to keep your coin in exchange wallet. You are better off managing your own coins in a wallet you control the private key.

if you plan to do trading then its fine, but if you want to do long term trading or holding, its better to store it to hardware wallet like trezor or nano ledger. it is better than using online wallet, it is too risky.

Unfortunately my experience in that sense is very bad, which is why I personally would not recommend trusting exchanges too much as a safe way to keep our cryptos or tokens, because in reality you do not have the real possession of your cryptos since you lack the private keys and at any time, if a hacker, a financial authority or the same exchange decides to block your account or take your cryptos, you can do little about it.

I already suffered it with Poloniex, then with etherdelta and this weekend with cryptopia, for which I am making every effort to obtain the corresponding wallets for each crypto, even if it requires more effort.

If you trade every day then exchanges are better, but if you prefer long term hodl, then the wallet is more safe choice because you have full control.

never put any coins on the exchange because it is very dangerous and you can also lose all the money you have, I did that before I knew about hackers and I lost all the money I've, I strongly recommend that you save the coins you have in the wallet so that security is better maintained

This is not recommended. What if suddenly the wallet in the exchange changes? Because we know 1 exchange consists of thousands of more traders. Not to mention the risk of being hacked. What's the trouble for you to create a personal wallet? I don't think it's slit.

For me there's no certain to call it safe when you're at the online transaction period specially at trading sites. However we need to trust their end as they handled the funds we stored or parked at their site. We need to trust their security measures, because if we're more afraid that what we desire for profit then don't transact online so you no longer can trade if you don't risk your holdings.

It's a good idea to put token on exchange, but not all exchange, some exchange are scams, so be careful of exchange to put your tokens, it's at your own risk

Not at all. Why would you even save your currencies on an exchange platforms. Day in and day out we hear how exchange platforms are being robbed almost every now and then so why do you even want to save your assets on it when you can lose it anytime there is a system breach or hacking of the system.

It is not save brother, personal wallet is the best place to keep your asset at any time exchange could be comprehended and users fund may got lost so open a personal wallet which you have the private key.

it is best to keep it in the wallet, because the exchange can be closed at any time and you will lose all your coins, so it is best to save coins in your wallet, and you can put them on the exchange if you want to trade.

A lot depends not only on the user, but also on the exchange. After all, it must be reliable and protected from hacker attacks. Nevertheless, I try not to keep  coins on the exchange.

You can keep your money in the most safe wallet or the biggest exchange, but there are always people who can find the way to hack it. But if you want to put tokens on the exchange, choose the best one.

It all depends on what exchange they are stored. In most cases, you will sell tokens on an exchange like IDEX, and I do not consider it safe. Wallet is more secure.

I suggest to look for a decent cryptocurrency wallet which will also depends on the country you were living at especially for the availability of encashment if ever you plans to convert you tokens/coins in the future. Wallet is much safer than any other exchanger, in my experience I typically use coinsph as my wallet with multipurpose like investing, paying utility bills, shopping and etc...

If you just wanna store it temporarily, i think it is ok, but if you want to put it on the exchange for a long time, it is very dangerous. Any exchange has the possibility of excaping, if you have heard about Mt.Gox.

each exchange also has a high level of security, and also has a wallet address held by the user. of course this also has a high level of security which is also owned by exchanges where you store your tokens.
even from some issues regarding hacking tokens generally not on the exchange but from wallet sites that are resembled with the original ones to trick users.

Yes it is safe for the put the tokens on the exchange because the coins in the exchange is as safe as bank locker but in the bank the money is safe but the profit is low but the exchange the tokens is safe and the profit of the coins are double from the bank.

If you trade every day, you can only trust the trading platform because you can't fetch and store it frequently from your wallet or platform every day, but if you're rarely involved in trading, the safest thing to do is to put the coin in a "cold wallet"

I feel safe, but not for storage in the long term and instead become the main wallet,

You must have a wallet that you hold the private key.

you can try m.e.w, or maybe it's better you can use a hard wallet for better security.

any bad potential can occur even if you have used the best exchange in the world though

It all depends on what kind of exchange it is and how much it takes care of the safety of its customers.

It is not recommended, but if you don't have another option than go for it, though I would insist on trying to find erc.20 wallets to see if you can store it, they are way more secure than your typical exchange website.

       Many Exchange firm was reportedly that it has been hack , so this is enough proofs of unsafe storage , personally I stored my coins in MEW and I will put this in exchange if there's already a buyer for my price , so there is only a short span of time it stay at the exchange .

It is semi-safe because the wallet helds your private keys. If the eschange loses your private keys your funds are away. But most exchanges have improved their security a lot. But try MEW, it's frre and easy to use.

you can do that, and security depends on the exchange and the application of security that you run on the device is there, if things are good, then you don't need to worry.

I like a number of exchanges especially those that offer double security like 2FA. Hackers cannot easily steal your tokens on such exchanges.

Not safe. Withdraw it to your own created wallet that you have 100% access to. If anything happen to your coin you will be able control by yourself.

The purpose of exchanges is not storing of your coins but for trading with them. According to that  it is better to keep on exchanges only the coins you are intending to trade with them.

In my opinion, wallets are better to store the tokens and coins. And also, if you have a hardware wallet, I think you can have a better protection, according to other wallets.

Based on my own understanding it not safe, it's better to put your coins in your personal wallet than storing your coins in the exchange wallet its because quite risky, but its depends on you if you want to take the risk.

It is wise to always save your coin in a wallet you have power over, that is the wallet you have its private keys. You can make more enquiries to know the best for you., But as for me exchange is a no no

If you want to put your token to exchanges site make sure they have 2FA or any security to become more safe. Becausr exchanges site is prone of hacker and anytime your account are possible to open and you lose your token. Highly suggested to you better if you store only your token to wallet it is more safety and send only to the exchanges site if you want to sell it. But it's up to you where do you want to keep your token because that is yours.

Yes Exchange is much safer than wallet but choose the trusted exchange without issue of getting hacked. The advantage of stacking of tokens or altcoins in exchange is to direct sell.

For me it is safe to put our tokens on an exchange as long as we registered 2FA in order to make sure that our account will not be hacked. 2FA is very important when we are trading in an exchange because a lots of hacker are monitoring different accounts on an exchange. So beware of it, if you have many tokens in an exchange be sure to make your account safe.

Maybe it was safe to put our tokens on that exchange, But we need to check always if our tokens are on their already.
And make sure the exchange we use are the trusted exchange.

the case of tokens or coins lost in the wallet exchanger, there are only two factors that are dangerous,
first is the exchanger itself, so far there have been many cases of wallet exchanger hacking, which has caused the market to experience a dump, because hackers sell large amounts of ETH and BTC, causing the public to panic
second is hacking your account, so make sure your account is safe and for username, email, password, 2FA and all other security systems, I recommend being activated
advice from me
as long as you don't save your coins in Yobit and your account data is only you know, everything will be fine

coins should be kept on a cold wallet, provided long-term investments. If you trade coins, you keep them on the stock exchange.

As long as the Exchange has not been hacked by hackers, then I must be safe.
And which exchanges do the irresponsible people want to crack?

But you better save it in an offline wallet like TREZOR.

It is better to store coins owned in the wallet because security is more secure than in the stock exchange, especially now that there is widespread hacking by irresponsible parties or hackers, but if saving coins in the exchange is not in the long term it may not be too risky, but if storing coins in the stock for a long term may be risky.

If you are holding many btc or just invested and do not want to sell it for long term than you should ideally be saving it offline. But if you want to do trading or buy/sell for a short term and do not have much value worth than you can safely keep it in good exchange.

On exchange is definitely better than in android phone! But I think it's safe to put few thousand $ on each exchange you are trading. And since most of us are not millionaires, that's most favourable option!

Really depends from the usage, not just btc but also tokens or existing alts that you have, if the amount is big never store it inside exchange because even the reputable exchange can be hacked but if that's is not that much and you are using it to do your trading business where you can monitor it from time to time, choose exchange that already exist for some years and keep your security as intact.

In my opinion, this is the worst option for storing the tokens you have. Nobody recommends it, and even exchanges themselves warn against using their accounts as wallets. It is better to keep your tokens in a safe place - wallet!!!

It is best to keep your coins on a hardware wallet, such as a ledger or a trezor. There, your coins will be more secure than anywhere else.

Exchange is not the safe way to keep your cryptocurrency. Mt. Gox tragedy is already a lesson learned from this. It is still safe if you keep your cryptocurrency in your own device and make a backup for its private key.

I agree to you, better to store it in a cold wallet or safe place that we have back up our private keys, me, I just transferred coins to exchange if only I will sell it that time.

Yes it is safe, as long as you save your privacy in a safe place, like your private keys. You must also know how to protect your wallets. Exchanges have their own security and we must know how to put our private keys in a secret place that only you could know. Private key is very important in a wallet so nothing to worry about if you have it.

I think so, in this world there is nothing safe.
Everywhere and in everything there are risks and security measures, the rest depends on your knowledge and ability to protect your own.
I keep tokens both on the exchange and in my wallet, as long as there are no pretexts for danger, the crypto currency and the stock exchange are equipped with security measures.

I think exchanges are safe as long as you keep your pinkeys carefully. No one can open it even hackers as long as you keep tight guard on the important information of your account. Exchanges are sometimes used as storage for coins. It depends on how you secure your own personal data specially pinkeys.

In what exchanger you are going to put your token ? There are trusted exchangers, but there are also exchangers thay have so many issues of missing tokens , etc. Yes your token can be stolen by someone and consider as hacked especially in online. Little suggestion, instead of thinking to put your token in exchangers but you feel not good about it, why don't you do just download any trusted wallet or create account into secure wallet online. Maybe it'll help you.

I think don't place your token on the exchange unless you want to trade your token, it's safer to save it in a wallet that has a private key to make it safer because you have full access to your wallet.

Sometimes I just have to keep some coins on the stock exchange. For example, I tried to run the Cardano wallet (ADA) on my computer, but it didn't work. Their wallet has not been finalized properly.

It is not wise to keep your tokens on exchanges. Find a suitable wallet for you and deposit everything there. Take good care of your private key

Yes, storing tokens on the exchange is safe enough, as a rule, exchanges have all the security measures to safely store their customers' investments. But the best variant of storage is a purse, the key from which will be only with you and store it on an external carrier in order to avoid problems with the computer.

Yes as long as you have the 2FA and kyc application on the exchange it is very safe. it can't be steal by the hacker just be still careful on the phishing site where it is mostly their tools to hack the account of other users here. Then, check them out from time to time so that you are up to date of the exchange which you are using it.

so far mine is safe. make sure you active the phone number and google authenticator for more safe so your tokens will never be stolen.

Depends entirely on which exchange you mean, Binance for example is one that I trust, but I wouldn't put my coins on the other ones

yes it is very safe depending on the exchange involved. If it is a cool and reliable exchange, i suggest you bind your account with the 2fa Authentication Verification, this would be very safe.

It's safe as long its a known and secured exchanged. Check reviews on exchange you'd want to put it . keep your track and see if they are reliable.

Depends on the different exchanges. If the exchanges are not reputable and small exchanges then it is very dangerous if the token is stored there. If storing the token in Binance or Bittrex it would be really safe

It is not reliable method to store your crypto, I believe there are better ways to do that,for example you can keep them on cold wallets like trezor

you can keep your coins even on Mars, but if the scammers or hackers trying to steal your money then they will find a way to do it. Exchange no safer wallet and the wallet is not safer exchange

I believe that nothing in this terrible there is no. Every normal exchange. Has its own security system. So it is possible to transfer and store tokens on the exchange and I do not see anything terrible in this. A hacker's exchange is harder to hack than your wallet.

If it's between 3 and 6 months, I think it's safe for the top 10 exchanges, they make a lot of money every day. So I do not think they will scam and take away the user's coin

this is relevant to how much you have and how important for you. if you hold like a 1000 ethereum of course you should search for better option. but if you are a normal person who has a small amount you can put them whatever you want.

Yes, in principle, it is relatively safe to store your coins and tokens on the exchange, however, the burglaries of exchanges occasionally happen all the same. Therefore, before putting the tokens on sale on the stock exchange, it would be better to move them first to a new purse, such as MyEtherWallet, after having performed the necessary operations, again transfer the crypto currency into the main purse from it. Thus, you will have a guarantee that if your secret key is lit up on the exchange, it will no longer have any meaning.

Of course you can leave, but you need to choose a good exchange, of course, for example on polonies or ku coin, you can safely keep and are not afraid

All exchangers have their own security measures, all of them are very secured so its safe and reliable But i still recommend you to have your own digital wallet, so if ever something bad happens to the exchange your coins will be safe as long as you don’t lose your private key.

When I would like to put a tokens in exchange site I immediately trade or just waiting for a good exchange. My strategy is to hodl if market unexplode ,I keep maintaining a good decision in order to avoid loss.

Nothing is 100% safe, this you should keep in mind. Wallets, exchanges, everything virtual can be hacked and leaked. So you should split your assets among exchanges and wallets to reduce the risk.

You're right. No matter how secure the exchange is, there are hackers that one day will break their security and steal the money. It is possible. As well as wallet hacking is possible. We need to split between wallets and exchanges.

of course, I melkukan the Division of the assets I have. some crypto as bitcoin ethereum and I chose to keep it in my personal wallet. to some other crypto I put it on the Exchange because I usually trade crypto every day, so I keep menyimpat crypto assets I have in exchange. If the advantage that I can is enough, then I will move to the wallet.

Well, if you rely on my experience for the year? I kept some of the money on MEW, and part on the the stock exchanges, those funds that were stored on MEW were stolen but what was stored on the crypto exchanges were preserved.

I would also advise not to keep everything in one exchange. We should split the assets among different good exchanges to reduce the risk of losing coins when the exchange is hacked.

I think it's not safe. It is best to hold your coins in your wallet. More and more trading platform are becoming prey to hackers. In 2018 many of the exchange were hijacked. to safeguard your property. I think I should store them in my wallet and keep my private key carefully.

so far it's safe. the important thing is to make sure you choose an exchange that is trusted and long. so far I have been trading on hitbtc, bittrex and liqui and are safe.

I don't think thats a good idea. Exchanges sites are not actually made to store crypto or tokens. They are made for trading or exchanging. I think you should keep your crypto in a secure and reliable wallet which is made for storing crypto. Besides recently there are a number of exchange sites that has been hacked or compromised.

I think putting tokens in exchanges is a safe option. Exchanges nowadays have done so much security measures to keep the assets of their users safe. Normally security is one of the most advertised features of exchanges and that it helps the industry upgrade token more secure.

It is never safe for you to keep your coins on any exchange. They are very prone to hacks and once the exchange gets hacked then you might very well lose your coins. The safest place that you can keep your coins is in a wallet where you have the private keys to because if you do not control the private keys to a coin then you do not own the coins.

you can have multiple accounts on different exchanges.  and keep the coins there. in General, it is safe.
