Every kind of valuable commodity requires some sort of protection. And so is the case with your hard earned bitcoins. The safety of the bitcoin has been a major concern for so many of us. People are always worried that their coins may not be exposed to the risks of hackers or being stolen by someone. So it is always preferable to use some reputable wallets to store your coins. It is also advised not to share your private key information with anyone, I repeat anyone!! Sometimes the information may get leaked by any chance or by mistake, unknowingly by a friend of yours, so it is always better no to risk your confidential information anyhow. And always try to distribute your holdings into two or more wallets instead of keeping all of it at one single place.

Bitcoin is well known for its safety. The biggest dangers are mainly hacker attacks on third party services, through which one accesses his bitcoins. These are above all the various crypto exchanges on which the users have created accounts or the bitcoins stored locally in wallets.

Basically, either the exchange itself is directly attacked, so that data can be stolen there. The biggest known incident was the hacker attack on Mt.Gox about 4 years ago, when a huge hack of Bitcoins was looted. This was also the reason for the decrease of Bitcoins 2014.

Today, the exchanges have improved to prevent such occurrences, because it can come to hacks and the trade is severely restricted or even stopped completely. This often leads to strong price fluctuations, mainly caused by so-called panic sells.

An equally large attack surface offer individual mistakes that can easily be prevented. Individual mistakes are the responsibility of individual users and are often:
- insufficiently secured user accounts due to weak passwords
- Login on a phishing site
- send the private keys to a scammer

If a stranger has once gained access to your own accounts, he can quickly transfer the entire balance to another wallet and due to the anonymity, it is no longer clearly comprehensible. For such a kind of total loss helps therefore only a careful handling with your personal user data.

But as long as you follow to the usual security rules and pay attention to secure passwords, which you should also change from time to time and do not use the same password on many other pages, an accident normally cannot happen.
The high demand and high competition between exchanges has also contributed to the improvement of safety standards.

How make you sure to safe your Bitcoins?


As we all know Bitcoin is first cryptocurrency and also the safest because It works on blockchain technology. Bitcoin is safe but we have to focus on other several factors to ensure that our Bitcoins will be safe:

Bitcoin is actually safe but the issues of all these hacks we are hearing comes from third party services such as exchanges.Falling to secure there exchange well enough and there by leading to careless hacks. So far you follow the proper security measures on your wallet you will always be safe and avoid loosing your private keys they are very important. Hardware wallets are also good for securing your bitcoins.

The best way to keep your bitcoins safe, is to use a hardware wallet that have stronger cryptography that web wallets.

If you store your coins in exchanges you are most likely to lose them, because exchanges receive the most cyber attacks.
Actually, there are some to make your bitcoin safe and secure like putting 2fa authenticator where will help you to notice if someone try to open your wallet. I agree that do not ever store your bitcoin in a exchanger and try to store your bitcoin in an trusted wallet.

There is no universal pill. Only by fulfilling all the safety features, in the trunk, they give an effect. So is the wallet's security. You must follow all the actions, do not forget about them. This is the only way to ensure personal security for your money.

Bitcoin is so safe because there are so many verification before you get it. Just like what you said there is a private keys that you are the only one who knows it. Actually no one can get it if you do not trust others because there is a people that willing to do anything just to get what they want.

In this world there is no such thing safe so Bitcoin is one of them all we need to do  is be guided and be guarded. Bitcoin has no such safety net. If your Bitcoins are lost or stolen, there's no intermediary with the power to make you whole. There are two basic ways to hold Bitcoins. You can participate in the Bitcoin network yourself, storing the keys to your Bitcoins in a wallet stored on your hard drive.

Bitcoin and bitcoin transactions are purely based on the Blockchain architecture. The inbuilt characteristics of blockchain are distributed architecture and security. It is impossible to tamper or manipulate the transactions in blockchain. It is possible to hack wallets or exchanges. It is the only possible thing when it comes to bitcoin or crypto currency hacking.

Bitcoin in itself is safe but the wallet used to keep it safe or store bitcoin rather doesn't assure total safety since they can be hacked when not handled.

Honestly every bitcoin wallet are we not guarantee that is 100% safe of course there's always a risk, hackers is everywhere and they know the advanced technology. If you want to secured your funds the most people here in crypto are using paper wallet and the most popular is hardware wallet. Just keep it safe your private keys.

Bitcoin is very secure because there is a code that can only be used by the account owner itself. The biggest light in bitcoin is the people involved or the hackers who make trouble for the disturbed sites. While safe we ​​have to be careful when making exchange transactions because it could be an opportunity for hackers.

Hackers are succeeding because of the fault of exchanges as they do not have good security measures. In some cases, exchanges are themselves involved.

so far my bitcoin is currently safe even if it is stored in an online wallet like blockchain.com.
the most important thing is how we secure our account through super powerful step like no one can know password and private key.

No wallet is safe and on the other hand every wallet is safe. If you did not give your private key to another your BTC is always safe. But if you could not safe your private key you may be loser. On the other hand if you safe your PC from male ware that may stolen your information from your computer you are safe always. For that, you may install anti male ware guard into your PC. Finally if your BTC in any exchanger and if that exchanger DNS server hack nothing to do by anybody. Its your fate. So no tens about it just do as i mention here, work honestly be safe. Good day.
