Yes Bitcoin is very safe. And the online wallets are also very safe and that is pretty good. Of course you can be hacked, but that is with everything.
I hope later that more people will use Bitcoin and trust Bitcoin, that will be so good for the future.

Yeah, bitcoin is very safe now, and it will continue to hold its safety features in future too, its not that easy to hack or steal the bitcoins of people, as online wallets are very safe and easy to handle.

Looking for a long term signature campaign. Pm me

We have different cases here. And we are the lucky ones. But I also see some stories that are bad and stopped in using bitcoin due to that bad experience. We should still be careful in every transaction that we do.

I think we need to stick to our basics rather then experimenting with our bitcoins, if we keep on investing money in ponzi we would surely loose all our bitcoins, but that doesn't mean that bitcoin is not safe, we are loosing our bitcoins only because of our own mistakes.

With lack of regulation in bitcoins, it is becoming so unsafe to transact. I have been a victim of hacking where I lost 2 bitcoins under unclear circumstances. I also transferred bitcoins to another wallet but they got stuck in the block chain for a long time to the extend that I forgot about. Someone has be extra careful in all dealings involving bitcoins.

Bitcoin is very very safe. Many people use it, so how can it be not safe. It must be mate. Otherwise not many people will use it.
I think that the online wallets are also very safe and secure and that is very good for Bitcoin.

Exactly bitcoin wallets are very safe and it is not easy for any hacker to hack your password and steal your bitcoins, I think bitcoin wallets are much safer then banks as it is easy to hack bank account.

Bitcoins is safe unless you are making it safe. If you will allow your coins to become prone to hacked then definitely it's not safe. Being safe will depend on you so start doing those safety measures to secure your beloved coins.

Bitcoin itself is very safe if you ask me, its just a matter of time before the bitcoin will take over the world in my opinion.
The bitcoin has a great future a head and think about the fact that it is fast/secure and very fast.

Only use multiple wallets, and if you got a big amount a paper wallet.

Bitcoin are much safe when you place it in your offline wallet. The reason is the third party
usage in online wallets might sometimes end up with some issues. We also can't question
them back as we have agreed for various terms and conditions.

Yes you are right. Bitcoin is very safe and that is very good. The wallets are also very safe.
Some people think that Bitcoin isnt safe, but that is not true. We all hope that Bitcoin will be more used in the future and that the value will rise.

You need to take care of your bitcoins as you would real money. Don't put it in your pocket but in your wallet. Same for bitcoin. Don't make it easy accessible for anyone to grap.
Store them in a offline wallet.

Just read the OP. This is a very controversial thing, and it's why many businesses still can't get used to the idea of using Bitcoin as a payment method. Although it'd earn them a lot of revenue, they're still not sure about this "new currency".

Bitcoin is extremely safe, but extremely dangerous as well. You see, bitcoins are much more different than regular currencies. You get to manage 100% of your finances and don't need a centralized bank to help you.

You could of course risk having all your money stolen from you by using an online wallet which takes up less space and is really easy to use, but again you're risking a lot. With bitcoin you get to be your own bank. You decide where all the money goes and where it is stored. Only downside you've got all the liability in the world.

One major downside of Bitcoin is its volatility. The price of Bitcoin could be $450 today (roughly what it is now) but could end out being $50 tomorrow. Remember it took just about 2 weeks or so for us to climb up to the $1000 peak, who says it can't crash just as quickly?

There are still many more benefits such as no inflation and decentralization and low fees plus easy payments. However should you put all your assets into it? Simple answer: no.

Never put all your eggs in one basket. Bitcoin is a commodity which we can exchange and buy a lot with. It is very volatile though. It's only been around for a few years, unlike the Canadian or US dollar which have been around for centuries. Bitcoin is still forming its foundation, which makes banks a totally safer option.

My tip: don't put all your assets in it. Whether you're saving up for your education or someone else's education, don't put that crucial asset in Bitcoin. Keep the majority of your money ready in a bank. What I do is I budget. I take a small percent of every pay check and put it towards Bitcoin. Although the market is volatile, and I have lost some, I've made a lot of money even though I don't put in that much.

Most things are too good to be true and while I love Bitcoin and know it is going to be the world's best currency, you've got to cover your ass and stay safe first.

we were not asked about the possibility of a security wallet or hacked.
possible purpose of this thread is? whether bitcoin is safe to invest or not? Can bitcoin made me lose. maybe it is.
if the wallet. I'm sure you can secure it with ease

I agree with that but offline wallet also not 100% safe though. For me better split all your bitcoin to many wallet, so it's make your bitcoins more safe.

how about paper wallet, Im sure paperwallet is the safer wallet than other wallet, no internet conection, just make your new paperwallet using bitcoinaddress, or bitcoinvanitygen (offline) then print it safe at safety box Roll Eyes

Offline wallets are safe, as long as your security practices are okay. You have to be paranoid about your bitcoins, but do understand that it is possible to secure them.

Bitcoin is safe and highly growing. Bitcoin wallets will be good enough to hold all our bitcoins and will  soon give a good profit for the trust you have over it.
