There are a few measurements to secure your private keys.

1) never disclose your private key to anyone or claiming airdrop.

2) beware of phishing websites, always check the website address you are trying to access.

3) secure your computer with antivirus software to prevent malware from stealing your private key.

I use a hardware wallet to prevent my private keys from leaking, you may want to consider getting one.

It is true that such cases are occasionally occurring, so we must be vigilant in securing our account or wallet, we should use a secure market and also use security codes like 2FA.

Store it in hardware wallet,a physical device,like a USB drive,that stores your private keys and currency locally,and isn't connected to the internet.

Yes it's true many people have lost their coins I'll try and list all the possible steps to help yiu sercure your coins.

1) Do not store your coins on a exchange, and I repeat do not store them there.

2) Do not use your bitcoins wallet on a public wifi, and I again repeat do not do any kind of transaction on public wifi.

3) Make a electrum wallet and write all details in a place somewhere safe and do not share it with anyone. Alternatively Trevor is good but it's expensive to get but your call.

4) If you're not using it for a year or many years to come, make a paper wallet and keep,it away.

5) If you claim a fork coin, make sure you move your coins in a new wallet before you claim them.

6) Never share your seed, pin, or private key with anyone, do not fall for the offer get one btc free or any kind of free offer.

7) Repeat one to six you'll do good.

If your bitcoin is lost then it is your fault. Because Bitakayena itself is never acknowledged by hacking. However, if you understand that you have made a mistake. Be sure to keep the bitcoin that the wallet is private. If you lose your private key, then Bitcoin will not get back. So, to keep Bitcoin safe, you must keep the Wallet's private key.

If you want your bitcoin safe, you better look for a wallet whose security is hard to crack. But I see already a lot of wallets that the security is good. But I only use blockchain even though many other nice wallets. Because I think blockchain security is the best.

Using hardware is the best way to keep your bitcoin safely. Tou can try buy ledge s or trezor wallet. But if you still using software wallet, please make sure, you have good antivirus in your device, and use personal device. Be carefull with phising address and always check address before you click it. Make sure that is secure.

If you're using a online wallet better install 2FA to you're Wallet. I think using offline Wallet it's a better way to secure you're wallet, but remember if you're harddisk is damaged you're hard to get back you're wallet so take care of you're pc.

hello guys,
Recently i've heard about many people lost their bitcoin. Someway their private keys have been leaked and hackers get access to wallet. So what measurements i have to take to secure my bitcoin and prevent it from stealing ?
One way you can do is to secure the private key wallet you have. Oh yes wallet offline with private key has a very good security level. If you are a person who has a lot of capital and try to invest a large amount and a long time then offline wallet can be an option, never use third party services such as web wallet because sometimes it is very risky. Adjust the conditions to what you want, use the web wallet for small transactions and require mobility. I'm sure we've all been smart in choosing which is the best thing in every opportunity.

dont hold your key in online.try to hold it offline,or a paper.also every time use desktop wallet.I personally sugest you to use Electrum wallet for hold bitcoin.here electrum wallet link https://bitcoin.org/en/wallets/desktop/windows/electrum/

many are storing sensitive data in cloud storage and even doing a blunder writing private key when filling the wallet address form, I would rather use hardwallet for better encryption of data, it all returns to user activity pattern and better follow every existing crypto business , many phishing scattered with interesting promos also trigger people to make mistakes

Bitcoin is a virtual money, and is a central attractions to many people that love money, For Example, like wise the way, we have a shop on the market Square, during the night, we make use of big key to locked your shop and it gets saved. The same application here on bitcoin, create account with Blockchainwallet.info and used a strong password, with Gmail account, is saved.

I suppose that you use hard wallet to secure your bitcoin. Also, secure your private keys in order to have a secure bitcoin. The use of hard wallet is to prevent your private keys to leak and be sure that your desktop/ laptop has an anti-virus software. Its much better than other wallet. Of course there's other wallet that is not downloadable. You can search for it if what is the most efficiently used by the user of bitcoin.

the safest way to store your bitcoin is never use private key or password and seed words.
if you go to the phishing website, you will end. use hardwallet to using your wallet safely. no p.key or seed needed.
