Bitcoin is well known for its safety. The biggest dangers are mainly hacker attacks on third party services, through which one accesses his bitcoins. These are above all the various crypto exchanges on which the users have created accounts or the bitcoins stored locally in wallets.

Basically, either the exchange itself is directly attacked, so that data can be stolen there. The biggest known incident was the hacker attack on Mt.Gox about 4 years ago, when a huge hack of Bitcoins was looted. This was also the reason for the decrease of Bitcoins 2014.

Today, the exchanges have improved to prevent such occurrences, because it can come to hacks and the trade is severely restricted or even stopped completely. This often leads to strong price fluctuations, mainly caused by so-called panic sells.

An equally large attack surface offer individual mistakes that can easily be prevented. Individual mistakes are the responsibility of individual users and are often:
- insufficiently secured user accounts due to weak passwords
- Login on a phishing site
- send the private keys to a scammer

If a stranger has once gained access to your own accounts, he can quickly transfer the entire balance to another wallet and due to the anonymity, it is no longer clearly comprehensible. For such a kind of total loss helps therefore only a careful handling with your personal user data.

But as long as you follow to the usual security rules and pay attention to secure passwords, which you should also change from time to time and do not use the same password on many other pages, an accident normally cannot happen.
The high demand and high competition between exchanges has also contributed to the improvement of safety standards.

How make you sure to safe your Bitcoins?

There is good news to customers in the Baltic nations of #Latvia, #Estonia and #Lithuania,as #Samsung (one of the largest technology company in the world) has annouced to accept crypto and blockchain payments in the region using the Lithuanian-based payment platform, CopPay
I hope more major platform continue to accept digital currency payment.

Paying too much attention to price has no effect. If your father intends to sell his bitcoin, then it can be sold now. There is no need to consider too much.

they do not really believe because bitcoin is not physically like a country's legitimate money and most people think bitcoin is a fraud

its not a risk, all that matters is invest what you can
Yes somehow.Because hacks and scam are rampant.You need to be careful in investing.Aside from, that you also need to be knowledgeable of what crypto is and how it works.

Bitcoin will never die it will keep increasing except it's no longer acceptable in the world.

1. Use a hardware wallet. If you can't afford one, make sure your PC is clean and use an open source desktop wallet (e.g Electrum) that give you control over your private keys.
2. Don't store your funds in exchange for a long period of time. Deposit, trade instantly and withdraw.

First, you need to use a strong password to secure your bitcoin wallet.You may use combination of letters and numbers.Secondly, make sure no body knows your account.Do not give it to someone else.

personally i think bitcoin is an assets,when ever bitcoin is a currency, but bitcoin currency is very strong currency so we can say bitcoin is a currency and big an asset.

As We all know, the crypto market has been on a downward trend since the second week of january.
Bitcoin market is still below the $10k mark which it was at the 1st week of February .
What do you guys think would be the price of BTC by December
Do you think bitcoin has the capability to hit the $30,000 mark before the end of 2018 or go below $6000?

It was below 1k last year beginning. But from the mid year prices started to explode! What's the reason behind these price rise?

On the contrary, I'm proud of Bitcoin's upbeat boarding of the Chicago Board of Trade, which I think would be even better if the blockchain problem could be completely solved.

It is partially a nostalgia that's dates back to the days fiat currency was backed with gold. People long for something physical to represent their monetary success, and it used to be symbolized by a shiney yellow precious metal called gold. Old habits die hard, gold brings back memories of the old days and comforts people in the sense they have something physical to represent their efforts. Bitcoin is the future.
