If you encrypt your local wallet isn't it secure?
Why move it to an offline computer?

Keyloggers, for example. That said, if you have bitcoin in your hot wallet, and it doesn't mysteriously vanish, the computer on which the wallet resides is almost certainly not compromised with Bitcoin-related malware. |

Lets stay if someone finds a way to reach your computer, wifi,website,email, and they have a malicious program secretly running from your computer and they find out that you have a bitcoin wallet theyll do whatever they have to do to get that file.

Yes, as its not electronic or live, so in many ways its good to store it in paper wallet, why has no one thought of that?

Why don't you give us your IP address and your email address. And we will see if your wallet is secure.  I am joking, if you do post these two information. I am sure your wallet will disappear very soon.  |

speaking of unauthorized transfers of BTC. I recently saw all my BTC transferred from my coinbase account which I have an amazing password AND google auth. I logged in and it was all still there. I transferred it out, but this history still says it was transferred the first time , not the second time i did it.
WTF??

That is the exchanges faulty system, May I suggest that you post a topic about it in the forums so others can investigate for you. |

Its not dangerous as no one has access to the wallet,dat file unless you want to somehow attempt him to get your virus unto his computer, keyloggers, trojans, etc.
