Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Nothing can be guaranteed to be safe at the moment. However, I think Bitcoin should be an important element in your portfolio of investments. Shares (other than arms manufacturers and farming) together with bank deposits should be avoided.

I don't think so! The price is quite stable at the moment, before the halving actually occurs in the middle of 2016! I estimate a big pump is approaching!

we have complete key directory, although it is hard to find an address with bitcoin, it is still a bit risky to get your bitcoin stolen.
i would believe that bitcoin is safe unless the directory could easily figure out the keys and the addresses.

out of ability to use the signature, i want a new ban strike policy that will fade the strike after 90~120 days of the ban and not to be traced back, like google | email me for anything urgent, message will possibly not be instantly responded

It is not the risk of being stolen that OP is talking about, it is the risk of losing alot of value.

Due to the shaky financial situation in the world, stuff like bitcoin can become very attractive very fast due to the inability of the government to influence it.

Investing in something is never safe. There are always risks, it just depends on what kinda of risks you are willing to take. Even bitcoin is not safe but hey, we all take the risk to believe in bitcoin and that it will grow to it's full potential.

I agree to it when you say the current bitcoin is very safe to be stored or adopted, because it has not found a way to steal or hack account bitcoin, but have you ever you think bebeerapa years, the hacker will study the security system bitcoin, and I think that time security bitcoin threatened.

i'd say definitely agree with you, after halving bitcoin price will go up (even like that still have a chance to dropdown) , the main problem if you own bitcoin is about your security,some time you made mistake which make your bitcoin stolen (every people doing mistake),so, i hope we'll got more easy,simple, and secured wallet or thing to store bitcoin,even hardware wallet can be lost too

With bitcoin you are never safe.

The only thing that is safe to me is just if you have 1 bitcoin.
And you are just planing to just safe for the future.

if it could be stolen easily, then bitcoin would be worthless, at lease i made a point here.
there is a potential risk as i told. Huh



block halving could increase the value of bitcoin i guess. because the supply halved while demand isn't decreasing; bitcoin value still increases unless demand halves.

out of ability to use the signature, i want a new ban strike policy that will fade the strike after 90~120 days of the ban and not to be traced back, like google | email me for anything urgent, message will possibly not be instantly responded

Bitcoin is for those who believes i it. We don't need people who will feel unsecure just because the price suddenly drops. It's a long term investment and something to look forward into more so I think for those who is willing to wait for bitcoin to reach it's full potential, it is safe to invest in it.

That is quite the goal and should be very easy to obtain. Just spend 51% of your current fiat holdings on bitcoin and you have obtained your goal.

I could do it in 1 min here if I wanted with the services around.

It feels safe when it's sitting at nice prices like it is now,  but when it drops down low you kind of wonder if your doing the right thing.  All going well there won't be any need to worry though if we continue at current prices.

Bitcoin is a long term investment if you buy it for that purpose.There's a risk involved in bitcoin too like all investments but in long run it is going to pay
