Safety of wallets

[BobBct]

I think the best is an ETH wallet or MEW because the wallet has no history/ saved data on their system so even the creator of the wallet can't access their wallet if they don't have the file, so it is hard to get in your wallet if you lost the file.

there is a saying  : no pain, no gain.

let me rephrase it : no btc, no pain 
just sell this s*it and put all earned $$$ to the bank. now they are safe.

but seriously, man, do you have quite a lot of BTC to ask questions how to hold it?  I'm sure that if you'll choose to keep your crypto on exchange - just use the google auth for  your safety, and those idea for splitting - is just wise. Put some of your BTC to PC without internet and back it up often , the rest for trading on exchanges

I guess that is good enough

I'd recommend using offline wallets, or paper wallets

the loss of funds is greatly reduced that way and hacks are not possible, the disadvantage is that you might lose your physical wallet, so be careful

How do you take care of your cryptocurrencies not being stolen?

Most of us know that keeping your funds on exchanges isn't safe by any means. Now online wallets that you can access via web browser or even smartphone aren't safest as well. Hardware wallets can be probably hacked (although you can encrypt the wallet.dat file, is that enough for hackers to not stole your money?).

The best way to keep cryptocurrencies is physical wallet like Trezor / Ledger Nano S. But if you connect them to your PC are you surely safe? Let's say that your PC is infected with some sort of malware that's focusing on stoling your private key or something like that. Are you still safe?
Even your wi-fi can be compromised and infect your devices connected to the network.

I want to secure my funds, so what is the best way to make sure your cryptocurrencies are safe and sound?

I'm keeping my currencies in ledger nano s, quire satisfied, the inly bad thing about ledger is that you can not have installed all wallets of each coin on your pc at the same time. only 3-5. but with ledger blue u can install 5-8 apps.
