It mostly depends on the user and the method he used to secure his bitcoin wallets and personal devices, It would always be better to avoid downloading software that looks suspicious as they might contain malware or key logger that are able to steal your personal details and log in information to your bitcoin wallets.

Yeah,bitcoin is really secured when compared to fiat currency,by means of getting stolen,by means of transaction over internet.But is is really not secured by means of it value.

Do you think so? Because I started to hear about hacked everywhere which is really insecure for us. And the number is not small, more than a million if you convert it. And they are not hack for some people like us who is really depends on a little bit profit from trading, most of the hacker always aim big bait which can really harm us. You can see recent updates about coincheck which has been hacked

Bitcoin is highly secured even more secured than most of the financial institutions we have, most times we hear of banks being harked into by hacker's and even robbed by robbers but that is almost impossible in the bitcoin network. Since bitcoin invention there is no record of harking into it and you and I know bitcoin can not be robbed by arm men's. The only way any one can lose his or her bitcoin is when you review your details to another person or sending bitcoin to a scammer if not bitcoin is very secured.

Bitcoin surely is secure, and it's proved that it's trustworthy. And it's safe of course, except all other conditions like hacking and such, but if we can protect our bitcoin properly, then it's safe.
Although so, i don't recommend people to sell all of their assets just to invest in bitcoin, because as we know the price is very fluctuacting, and now it's even really low compared to before.
Nobody knows what will happen, but we need somehing to keep on if something bad happen, so we shouldn't sell everything and depend on bitcoin only.

Don't confuse security systems getting compromised with the security of the Bitcoin network.

The hacks (purported or legitimate) you read about have absolutely nothing to do with the security of Bitcoin itself. When an exchange is hacked, that means someone infiltrated their systems, and stole data from there that let them access wallets. Almost all the hacks you read about which result in the loss of Bitcoins has either been due to compromised networks or successful phishing attacks on individual users (where hackers steal data such as private keys or passwords).

Theoretically, of course Bitcoin isn't 100% foolproof... but it would be economically unfeasible for anyone to launch any kind of attack in an attempt to "hack" the network. And this unfeasibility increases by the day as more miners and nodes come in to secure the network.

There have been (correct me if I'm wrong) certain exploits successfully carried out in Bitcoin's early years... here's the 2010 "value overflow incident": https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Value_overflow_incident.

whether it is safe or not depends on yourself - sometimes a carelessness that allows someone else to know your private key from a wallet account that we have, of course, that makes bitcoin very insecure. but bitcoin systems can be quite safe because bitcoin is a system that until now can not be traced by any party. so I think what you should do for the security of the bitcoin itself can be realigned of course you should never make a carelessness that will cause your bitcoin assets will be in retas by other parties.

Some people invest some if not all of thier asset in bitcoin. They are lured by its growing up value its equivalent to fiat currency but is bitcoin really safe and secure.? What do you think.,
Bitcoin itself is secure if you keep an eye on the price, at least more secure, than some doubtful banks, which can at any time say "sorry, we're bankrupts and we wasted all your money, so bye-bye". The only thing you should worry about is whether your wallet is safe, but if you own a hardware wallet, I think the chance that you'll get robbed is not more than the chance that someone will stick up the bank, where you're storing your savings.

For me there is no secure thing when it becomes to business especially bitcoins knowing that they are technology incline business and we also know that hackers are there to hack the system. And we cannot prevent that 100% because we do not know who they are and they can either interup the transactions or gett all the money in bitcoins but for now i am not experiencing some of those hackers but u know there are some people who have been hacked so in case you want to be secure just have a lot of plans.

For me bitcoin is really secure but it depends on you if your private key is really secure. So that if you really want that your private key is secure, don't give it to anyone that your not trusted. It depends on the user and the method he used to secure his bitcoin wallets and personal devices.

Yes for me bitcoin is really quite safe if you keep and use it well, store your bitcoin in highly recommended wallet and trade on a reputable exchange so everything will be fine. Perhaps about bitcoin price growth for me is no problem, the price movement of bitcoin is very fluctuating so I guess there is no problem to invest in bitcoin. for sure profit will be safe amd grow.

I agree with you.  It is up to us to secure well our bitcoin and not just bitcoin but all our possessions.  As to bitcoin the features of it are secured.  No one can take it in you wallet unless they know your password.  All the important details should be kept secret.

yes, the bitcoin technology is very safe, and never it has been hack. But sometimes I can hear when I discuss of the bitcoin and other crypto currencies with my entourage "are you sure it's very safety", or "yesterday i've seen an article about the theft of a million euros in bitcoin" but it's the fault of the trading platforms which are less secure and not the blockchain itself. No one has ever hacked into the bitcoin system itself by modifying blocks for example. So it is safe for me.

I personally have no doubt on the security of bitcoin and all other crypto coins but the thing is you need to realize the importance of the things which are necessary for you in order to keep your wallet and bitcoins secure. If you will stay away from any of the scam or anything like that, then your bitcoins are completely safe. Moreover, you also need not to share your private key with anyone as it can result in loss of your bitcoins.

Not all people use to hack some of them are really honest one but yeah you are right some people try to hack but, bitcoin has solution now as we can use bitcoin wallet to avoid such kind of activities now. Hacking was happening in past but now it is not there because I did not hear any cast related bitcoin hacking since long it is all because of bitcoin wallets that are enough to secure out bitcoin as long as we want, such as block chain and paper wallet.

Bitcoin is secure if you look at the transaction side and the transparancy of where your money is going, however bitcoin is not secure as something physical because your bitcoins can be stolen/hacked, and its all on the net, on the other side it has not a certain amount of value specially now the dirty governments and banks are involved in the price manipulation.

The one hacked is a digital currency exchange and not one's wallet. I will be worried of someone's wallet was hacked even though he/she is taking care of his/her wallet but if that is an exchange, well, it happens. This is the reason why a lot of people said that you must keep your digital currencies yourself and not on these exchanges.

And the number is not small, more than a million if you convert it.

And did that cause any panic to use Bitcoin Holders? No, the currency stolen was NEM an altcoin though that price is not a joke.

And they are not hack for some people like us who is really depends on a little bit profit from trading, most of the hacker always aim big bait which can really harm us.

Because Exchanges are not really that secure like our wallets.

Bitcoin as a blockchain is secure. And with the number of miners in the bitcoin ecosystem, it will take a lot of resources to hack bitcoin's blockchain.

One of the concern with bitcoin miners is that the mining power is mostly with a handful of miners in China, but with the clamping down on mining activity in China, most of the miners have moved overseas and the mining activity is now more spread out.

We are also seeing more miners getting on the btc mining despite it getting more difficult. As more miners get onto btc mining, it becomes more difficult to hack the btc.

However do not confuse security of btc with privacy as many guys think that their transactions are "secured" meaning no one can see their transactions. Bitcoin blockchain is transparent and anyone who knows your wallet address or if you had transferred your bitcoin from a known exchange such as coinbase, it is not difficult for the government to know about the transactions you had and how much btc u possess.

Yep, I'd better use a wallet. The news about hacked exchanges are depressive. The size of the theft shows how vulnerable investors remain in this
field, despite numerous efforts by regulators to reduce the risk of cyberattacks. And other cryptocurrencies traded on its platform were not
missing.
