I think you should be careful with your bitcoin. I believe bitcoin is very safe but we shall never know when you will be hacked or not, there are many cases recently shown that bitcoin has been stolen from users wallet. So make sure you keep your password safe.

Oh it is not Bitcoin that is unsafe but rather it is a wallet that is unsafe (in case of WWW wallets) or the user's computer gets compromised. Or the user voluntarily discloses his or her password.

So Bitcoin is safe as a protocol. It may be unsafe how you handle your bitcoins

The only way you will lose your bitcoin is by hackers using phishing website cause it needed information about yourself once you logged in to that not secured page you will lose all your bitcoin so be careful about hackers.

I am hearing a lot of users' complaint about having a problem transferring their BTC, Nowadays I am not selling it because I am "Hodling" it for future. But I am a bit of scared now because all this news about the people's BTC being hacked.

What should I do If My wallet or BTC gets hacked?

Before thinking of what you should do IF you get hacked, i think its more important to focus on securing your private keys so you won't be hacked in the first place. I don't think it's that easy to hack btc wallets and all you need to remember is to keep your private keys to yourself and make sure you don't give it to others. Or get paper and hard wallets since these have less no no chance at all of getting hacked.

In the world of Internet data security is the most important thing. Even if chances of being hacked, one must take steps to make his kind of information secure that is on the Internet.  Bitcoin is a very expensive digital asset.

It is about $9,500 the holder must be careful about its security. A strong password will definitely help but the most significant step is to not trust anyone and never give away your credentials whenever asked by any website.

It only depends on your wallet. If you are using a wallet that has been trusted by everyone like professional traders that are trading day by day then i think that it is enough already to become secured on your coins.

no bitcoin network cannot be hacked but if u leak your private information then they may take your bitcoin or any other but it is not an easy job to hack the bitcoin
It is the hard task for the hackers because the bitcoin has a lot of the wallets so the bitcoin is very bright and I hold the bitcoin and helping a lot of the people I hope the bitcoin will be able to be more safe because it is now possible and the bitcoin is being happen to buy the bitcoin and hold it as the bitcoin resource I have the bitcoin is now being invest by all the people and my all friends are investing in the bitcoin fearlessly.

If you invested in hardware wallet and generally keeping a low profile, why should you be scarred? I think BTC price drop is scarier think if you have lots of them  Grin
Dont be scared if you know you put your bitcoin in secure and safe wallet, even you have a lot or few of coins. Just stay away from promising wallet because they are scams, also dont tell to anyone your password or private information. Also you must have backup of your wallet, atleast you can get your coin anytime if something happen.

As long as you are safe you should be ok. Private keys have to be kept safe and be careful of phishing. There can always be a fear that wallets themselves are not safe but paranoia creeps in when you start to think too much about it all.

As per my acknowledgement hacker never know how much BTC particular wallet have within it. They always try to phishing user to get trapped. And once trapped can get whatever amount it have in it. Now its another part if hacker got big amount. But everyone who use web or any online wallet must have to take security measures against own wallet and keep them safe and secure.

If user holding big amount of BTC then

1) Don't put all eggs in basket
2) Keep wallet backup private, safe and secure
3) Never share own credentials to anyone or even online
4) Use desktop wallet with paraphrase
5) Keep your computer clean with reputed updated antivirus
6) Use Hardware wallet

These preventive measures can help to keep your Bitcoins more safe.

I sugget that you spread your bitcoin over many distinct wallets as possible , so in the case one wallet get hacked , you still can save the other wallets ,  it like a jerry mouse game .

Precaution is better than cure. Always try to keep your account safe with 2FA Security and also try to keep your private key much more personal. Also if you have a huge amount of bitcoins, then you can store them in a offline wallet or paper wallet, etc. Securing your account much more as possible can keep yourself safe from hackers.

Yes of course if we have millions of btc then we should be wary that hackers will steal, all we have to do is divide bitcoin into some wallet, use all kinds of wallet such as offline wallet, web wallet, paper wallet and so on.

What should I do If My wallet or BTC gets hacked?

Of course you should be scared if you are holding bitcoins. hackers are looking for their victim to steal what ever you have in your wallet. You should be very careful when you are using internet and making any bitcoin transactions. Most hacking method hackers are using Phishing method to steal your information especially your private key or password of your crypto wallet.

I strongly recommend that use multiple wallet to store your bitcoins so that if the hacker hacked your wallet he cannot there will be bitcoin left into your other wallet. You can also use hardware wallet like Trezor, ledger nano or paper wallet. Always be vigilant for any suspicious malware when you are using your computer.

Paper Wallet and Hardware wallet shall be the best choice, and if using web wallet or exchange wallet better apply or adopt for extra security.
And I also agree, better to divide your Bitcoins or whatever coins you are holding into several wallets.
If you are taking too many precautions, then you can be calm and tension free, but better not let it slip out of your mind.

I am sure his bitcoin is not the largest, people have lost so much in past. No form of wallets is the safest just be extra  careful. If your bitcoin is subject to othe're security try to put your eggs in many basket just in case as earlier said
