Yes, it's safe and secure as long as you do basic security precautions on your computer. They aren't just for bitcoiners, they are for every user of computer. Bitcoin is pretty hard to hack up but nothing is unhackable. You can make a 51% attack but it will be very expensive eg. You must spend as much money as rest of miners from the world so it will be unprofitable to do it. The P2P community maintains Bitcoin's security. Store only small amounts of BTC on networked devices and store big amounts of BTC in cold storage.

Bitcoin is safe and secured. I think no one would try to hack bitcoin because it is more powerful than before. The only thing that can be hacked is your wallet. For example, you give your private key in myetherwallet to some stranger or let us say you misplace and forget your private key in your wallet that would be the case that it would be hacked by someone who will know your private key. If you don't feel safe in bitcoin you can double up your security for your safety. I think it is impossible for bitcoin to be hack up by someone but it is possible that scammers can have access with bitcoin. So let us just be aware of it.

The safety of your bitcoin accounts depends upon how you manage your bitcoin it will vary upon how you let it not be steal or get access by someone else so basically it depends upon our usage and management of it. If it will he ban by the governement then we'll have no say about it but the illegal transaction can be prevented by us cooperating to one another in order to prevent this scammers from destroy our bitcoin community.

Everyone wants to be a bitcoiner and earn money online but the major question arises for being a bitcoiner is that "is bitcoin really safe". The answer is as simple as that, because it depends on user's care. The well protected and well secured account  is always safe. Being a non governmental  and far away from the control of governmental panel , these cryptocurrencies is rather safe and far away from the reach of hackers.

Hello pals,

I really appreciate if you  guys give me some answers

Bitcoin transactions are safe within the decentralized blockchain (onchain). Nobody can hack it. In terms of protecting your bitcoin from thieves, it's the same as safeguarding your debit/credit cards, passwords and PINs. You manage your own protection. The good and bad thing about bitcoin is ANYONE can use it. Many have tried banning bitcoin but people will always find a way to use it.

Bitcoin security depends on ourselves,So we must always be vigilant in keeping our account so hackers do not steal it,   my friend there who lost bitcoin it all because of carelessness, so the point is safe bitcoin as long as we are good at keeping.

I also agree with you, depending on us who keep the bitcoin we have. do not let our wallet password in knowing others because they can break all the bitcoin we have. so basically our bitcoin will survive depends on us who take care of it.

 ???If we can break SHA-2, e.g. by finding a faster way to get the right nonce than trying many of them, we can generate the blocks faster than everyone else. This would mean that we will get all of the mined coins, at first. Having a monopole, we can also effectively decide which transactions to include and which ones not (this could be a denial-of-service for competitors who want to transmit money).

But for now, no such break of SHA-2 is known.

Bitcoin is not totally secure. If you store them in an online wallet, it can sometimes be hacked and your bitcoins would be stolen. But on the other hand it's difficult for hackers to distinguish in which wallet bitcoin really has because the wallet address is changing time to time.

Indeed it is true. actually the bitcoin digital currency is the most secure and it is definitely you will end up at a huge disadvantage if it doesn't fix or make better safeguards on wallet online that we have. Because it is an online wallet has a security level which is quite vulnerable to hacking, so it should be we should be careful in our online wallet storing data. If not then the whole thing could end up at a huge loss and lose all of the funds that we have.

Bitcoin totally not secure. It's depend the owner. Maybe if you have many bitcoin, you should change your account's password. For example every a month, or every three month

[Christian13]

Yes bitcoin is really secure. no one can steal bitcoin, except for our own carelessness.
The government can not be that easy to ban bitcoin transactions, because bitcoin is the future.

I agree that bitcojn is really secure and no one can stealth your bitcoin. If you want to make your bitcoin more secure you must put your password and private key in a safe place. In addition to that, do not ever share you password and private key to anyone if you want to make your bitcoin secure.

Hackers play a key role not only in crypto currency even on banking transactions.
It's all based on how secured we maintain with due care.
I use Ledger Nano s to be safe from hackers, go with this secured wallet.
Many overseas services available to send money directly to your bank.
Never save passwords and such digitalized.
Also maintain complete dual authentication while opting wallet.
Ensure you built a strong passwords with characters, numbers and symbols.
Bitcoin may fall down sometimes but it will not be collapsed, you can trust investing on bitcoin, it is the master of cryoto currency.

Let me answer you based on my experience:

1) It is secure as long as you do not leave your Bitcoin wallet unattended, meaning, you make sure it is password protected. There can hardly be any hackers because the system is in tact and you are in control of your own Bitcoins. Otherwise stated, you are expected to protect your own money.

2) It does not block anybody who desires to do business with Bitcoins because it is a free market and is highly decentralized. Simply put, people are expected to manage their own affairs. It does not discriminate.

I can only say yes the bitcoin is secure at these times. During these times, it is difficult to open because the programs are beautiful and orderly. Program that keeps secure and full of security. Accounts are difficult to handle due to the latest security features attached to it. While it takes longer to make it beautiful and savory use.

[mark_salcedo618]

Yes its secure. Once a hacker/s gets in to the system, he/she or might as well saying they will be having difficulty on accessing one's account for they have to access all account in the blockchain system for it is decentralized. But there will be possibility that you will be hacked when you entrust your personal account or even forgot to log out. So I suggest be careful to whom you trust and where you logged in and make sure you log out.

If you want to make your bitcoin more secure you must keep it in a safe place where you're the only one who knows it. In addition to that, you must keep your private key in a safe place and put 2fa to make your wallet more secure and do not ever share it to anyone. Lastly, be careful in some phishing sites.

[Edrian]

Yes, I think bitcoin is secure but the question is does your wallet have strong security? if not then your bitcoin is not safe. I believe bitcoin is safe because lots of billionaires invest in bitcoin, It can be hacked but you need a very good hacker to hack bitcoin. I think the real threat in bitcoin is the scammers
you should be very careful with the people you deal with don't put so much trust in the people you don't know do some research first before doing any transactions. To become more secured you should change your email password or any password you have to add additional security to your account.

Resistance of bitcoin to the hacker attacks is determined by safety of technology of blockchain. As the technology is based on the decentralized distributed register of transactions that to hack system blockchain at this level of development of computer systems and current value of bitcoin very difficult and is economically unprofitable. But in the future with the advent of quantum technologies the current level of safety of blockchain will be possible to be overcome rather easily.

Bitcoin is very secure because your of bitcoin is increasing in the coming future. You will need to have a wallet itself is generated through codes, any you need to have a password ,a pin for you jest to access your wallet. if you put your bitcoins in a online wallet, you keep you a risky way is not secured.

It is really secure if you will use offline wallets or trusted online wallets. l using trusted online wallets like coinbase. I never heard someone lose their bitcoins in coinbase. That wallets is really a secure wallet and hackers can't hack the bitcoin in there.
