Bitcoin saving is not safe

[QN2018]

I think Bitcoins saving is quite risky, because compared to other forms of investment such as gold or dollars, cryptocurrency is more risky because the possibility being hacked is so high, we could be stolen bitcoin or the ability the network system attacked, you lost all bitcoin in the second. In addition,fluctuations in bitcoin price are highly impacted by the market so investment in bitcoin is unsafe solution.

Your btc being hacked is near to impossible. I agree with the fluctuation of the price.  Fluctuation is normal in the market it makes profits anyway for the traders.
Without price fluctuation there will be a shorted of supply of btc because everyone will hold it.

Do you fully understand what you said ?
i mean bitcoin cant be hacked, the exchanger or market that store it can. You can store your bitcoin or any other coin in offline wallet and no one cant access it except you, you the one who holding the private key for that address. About the fluctuations yes it true, but that the risk you need to take if you want to make some good profit in your retired time.

Risky but attractive?
Perhaps, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be considered as alternative investment options. However, the truth is that it has its flip sides one should be aware of.

Retirement advisors consider Bitcoin risky, volatile, unregulated and unsuitable for long-term investments. Financial regulators are still uncertain how to classify Bitcoin and therefore how to treat Bitcoin investments. Besides, Bitcoin is completely unregulated and uninsured.

We all get so excited seeing its rise in value, however, we also witnessed some dramatic declines. If the majority of its value can disappear in a few seconds, how can it become something to depend on in a decade?

Let’s go back to the story of Jack Tatar. At the end of 2015, things started to be different for his investments as the price of Bitcoin started to grow. In the summer of last year when Bitcoin was over $700, Tatar shared his excitement by saying that it has been the best investment in his retirement account.

Oh Dear, please, please read around the forum before posting such stupidity. What do you mean network system attacked? Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Maybe what you heard about people losing their bitcoin is (1) they put their funds on a exchanges, so when a hacked happened on that exchange, your money is gone, (2) you didn't protect your wallet, - password is not strong, or you give your private key to someone untrusted. Fluctuations is part of the nature of bitcoin, If you don't know how to handle fluctuations, you shouldn't be in bitcoin investment. Bitcoin price is based on supply and demand, so its another factor that you need to understand before talking about fluctuations, volatility and unstable price.

Well, maybe he is referring to wallets but there is more hacking in Ethereum wallets than in the Bitcoin side. Fluctuations is always part of the game and this is actually one reason why Bitcoin is popular because if it can go down drastically there are times when there is a bull run making everybody happy. Had Bitcoin been moving just like any traditional investment tool, I don't think it will be as popular as it is today. There will always be risks and if one is involved in Bitcoin he must learn to mitigate and mange those risks otherwise the best thing to do is to get out and return only when one is already mature enough to bear the responsibilities as a Bitcoin holder.

All investors in this community are already aware of the risks from Bitcoin savings and investments. That is why we always advise that invest only what you can afford to lose and do your own research first to minimize the risk. The positive side of it is that the higher the risks, the higher the return. If you will just focus on it and put efdort on studying Bitcoin, you will surely become rich because of it.

[spiker777]

You're only going to get hacked if you do not take precautionary measures. Do you know how much credit card theft there is? How many bank accounts are compromised? I would say the risk of being hacked is roughly similar to these.

Simple, store your bitcoins in a hardware wallet such as a trezor or Nano S, and you wont have to worry about online attacks. You spreading this misinformation is what hurts the progress of bitcoin.

There is no 100% safety in investment world,evry time when you enter your money is always at risk. Most of all here in bitcoin because there but the good thing with bitcoin is the chance to earn high. You will only get hack depends on how highly you secure your wallet.

[jonruhoax]

I thought you were talking as if we did not know anything about bitcoin. it is you who do not know much about bitcoin technology and its benefits. yes, it's true what you say. it's very risky. but it's not as easy as what you say.

Your comment is awesome. I agree with your opinion.
 The false information, turbulence market shows the popularity of bitcoin.
It is puzzling for the beginner community to learn and invest in bitcoin.

First you should think before to post this kind of shit thread. Bitcoin is 100% secured investment this is digital world so everything is hackable in the world. When compared gold and dollar, cryptocurrency is safe and secured in investment. This is user friendly so you can access anywhere in the world. Everything should be fluctuating you should hold and dollar value also fluctuate in the market. But Bitcoin is raise continuously or some fluctuation is happens. So you decide which one in best investment, before to decide you should analyse complete strategy of cryptocurrency.

You are not starting your forum career {yes, I said career} with a good start. Bitcoin {The Technology} has never been hacked

before. {the protocol} Yes, Bitcoin websites/exchanges/wallet providers have been hacked, but they only use the currency.

The Bitcoin developers are doing a damn fine job at the moment and all code are OpenSource and under constant scrutiny

from other developers. {Peer review}

The possibility of getting hack is depend on how secure you are on your credentials, the only problem that i can think in holding Bitcoin is the change of price of Bitcoin from time to time, but if you are a long term investor then you will not get any problem in the change of Bitcoin from time to time because the only mindset you have is getting profit in the long run.

[Lodipetmalu]

We can't deny that bitcoin is very risky as investment. Because we can't predit if someday it will suddenly drop or in sometime, other coin will rule in the market other than bitcoin.

You are not well known about bitcoin security system, bitcoin security is not easy to hack, it's so much strong as you want! if you done any stupidity like share with others your password or account phrase then you can face a problem other then it's so much impossible to hack your I'd by others!

[BrewMaster]

investing in bitcoin is risky because bitcoin like any other new technology is in its early stages and because of that, its market is pretty small and has sometimes unpredictable swings. which is why every person who understands investment will tell you "invest what you can afford to lose".

at the same time this means bitcoin is very profitable because those who invest in it now are the early adopters who will be rewarded for the high risk they are going to take. just like those who bought bitcoin at $0.01

and none of this has anything to do with being hacked. if you are not careful you will lose the money in your backpocket to pickpockets in the street. that doesn't mean money is not safe, it means you weren't careful.

You can investment your money in land, house, gold, silver, stock markets, fixed deposits & savings in banks, start some business  

Actually Bitcoin and crypto currencies are not required/unwanted   

[nightxglow]

Yeah it's true, saving bitcoin isn't 100% safe. But still, we can prevent those bad things to happen.
Like for example hacking, we shouldn't let people know our password or private key easily, don't visit weird websites, don't trust people easily and such.
We also need to keep update with everything, so when something smells fishy and we think something might happen, we should exchange all our btc to money instead.

[Cryp2]

You can reduce the possibility of such risks by using hardware wallets which are relatively more secure

Yeah it's quite risky cuz no one knows the future , but some approximative speculations are still possible , which means getting the access to the right choice
