I think that Bitcoin is pretty safe to use but there are always scammers active so look out for those people.
If you are just doing your own thing and not pay other people attention you should be alright.

Yes you just have to watch out for scammers indeed they are the biggest thread cause they are basicly everywhere.
Alot of gambling sites, investments etc are scamming and running away with the money cause it's anonymous anyways so always be careful

As long as you use the bitcoin technology correctly, protecting yourself in all the ways you can, you should be fine. The chances of you getting robbed in bitcoin are no more than you getting robbed in real life.

Make sure you don't use brainwallets - there is already a script that figures out brainwallet passwords.
I have never experienced any problems with Bitcoin so I do think that it is something that is save to use.
If you know what you are doing with Bitcoin then you also should have no problems with the safety of it.

Me too.  It is your sole responsible for the safety of your bitcoins.  I also never had any issue with bitcoin that is why I always make it a point to have some of them through earning.  If you are good on handling them then the safety issue is not a big problem.  You have to be responsible enough for its safety.  As I said you are the sole responsible of your bitcoin.

Of course, I believe btc is  very safe. There are several scammers, of course, and  that's very bad. But you have just  to be careful . And trust only the people you  know and not every person.

It depends from every user about how they do it with bitcoin..?
We can say bitcoin is safe and unsafe depends on the users , some peoples need and claimed security is importance so they won't to store their bitcoin in online wallet even 2FA is activated , they want to store they bitcoin in hardware or desktop wallet.
But , in the other hands . You can store your bitcoin whenever you want as long as secure your funds and make sure you can access your private key . Once again , it depends from user itself.
thats true, but if person actually not uses it and just holds it i think it is the safest currency that has ever been created

These scammers are putting bad reputation to bitcoins but even not in bitcoin. There are a lot of scammers all over the world, bitcoin is risky but it is safe from getting breached by hackers. But if you are thinking about the usage of bitcoin it is going to depend to the users on how they are going to make safety for their bitcoins.

In fact, bitcoin is kind of unstable in terms of price.
However we can say it is pretty safe, because we probably won't see a big drop of price- we can see huge rises in a long term instead.
you just need to be careful with it, and dont do it short term- it will be not safe then.

To think that bitcoin is safe is not so wise by my opinion. To hold all your money in bitcoins would be tricky, cause of the price for bitcoin is not fixed and excangers and wallets can't guarantee you 100% protection. Nobody can say us the bitcoin future, professional economists hate bitcoin and predict death to it, but as we see bitcoin is still alife and working.

The system is safe I guess but in overall there is no safe when it comes to investment or as a currency, but this unsafe coins is giving us the privilege to make money through our investment and other ways to earn, so we should be thankful we discover bitcoin at the early stage.

bitcoin is relatively safe, in the long term, don't look at the short term, plenty of manipulation going one, bitcoin need still plenty of time to grow

when everything about its problems will be settled, i beliave you will see the real usage of it, big merchants are waiting that after all, no reason for them to not accept bitcoin

I wouldn't say bitcoin is safe in the long term. Imagine someone bought bitcoins at 1000$ and after a few years they find out the price is at 300$, do you consider that safe? Of course not because it's not.

Well unfortunately, this someone has bought on the top of the bubble and that's what happens to the bubbles, they do burst.

Bitcoin is relatively safe and it ain't going nowhere but up in my opinion! Of course, caution is obligatory.

As for the OP's problem, $600 is a lot of money to invest and if you need it to be anonymous as well, you will have to work hard to get it done. There exist the people that get these kinds of amounts for other people. You have to find them!
Bitcoin safe it all depends about how you use it because it can be safe if you own your own bitcoins you know the wallets are not very trustabe off course but i think allot of people has recognized that.

I had similar experience. If your computer is not infected with virus, it is quite safe to use the bitcoin yourself.

I trust in bitcoin that it's safe like hacking wise but I wouldn't keep your full shares in it because of how the prices are bouncing around.
I'd keep only a part of it there so that you have room for error and if something happens not all your money is gone.

I think bitcoin is safe against criminals etc I don't think casinos and other investments which hold your bitcoin are safe though.
Either they get really hacked or they lie and scam you and run with your money saying they got hacked which isnt true actually.

that's the problem with those site they can always say that they been hacked and players cant do nothing when they declare this things happen but personally just like many said btc is safe putting it inside your computer just needed to make sure that the computer is clean of virus and you are secured already.

Is it safe to keep all of my assets in Bitcoins? And how Department for Combating Economic Crimes, can affect my account?  What permissions they need , to freeze all my money ?

I'm not sure what you mean by "safe" , If you mean storing so no one really finds out about them then yes most likely you can do that . But if you mean selling all and buy BTC instead then... no one can be sure about that , price can decrease with time and can increase .. It all depends on many factors such Miners wanting to continue mining (If they see profit) , Supply-demand etc ...
Bitcoin cannot be frozen , and if you hide them I don't see how they will find out about them honestly .
Bitcoins are far from safe and that is because all of the comotion he gets do you reallly think people will go such far for a coin i dont think so real money counts for them you know so they will drop the bitcoin off course.

that's chances itself but if you do believe on it bitcoin will be like same with money so more and more people will embrace the system and because of that possible attack will happen and thats the reason that we need to have our own wallet inside a clean computer to make it safe.

you are already a sr.member and you didn't know what is safe and what is not? bitcoin assets are safe at the beginning for me if someone ask you to they are going to open or freeze your bank account then think how they can open it if you are using bitcoin?

Yes, I think btc is a very  safe method for payments,  besides of being fast. Of course, you  need to take all the required  security measures and  choose a sefe wallet.
The answer on your post is "IF" the store or online business are going to accept bitcoin as a payment and "IF" you can use that as currency like paper money because it easy to transfer payment into another bitcoin wallet we all know that bitcoin wallet are more secured and more privacy than any other payment method.
