Bitcoin is as safe as safe computers that used to keep the wallet and to make transactions. It means that if you follow the rules, you will have safe bitcoin and if you use pirate software, visit fraudulent sites, you will have more risk to be hacked.
Yes bitcoin is safe but it is still depends on you, on how you secure your wallet in order to keep your bitcoin away from hackers. You must provide privacy lock and do not let others to know about it.

use hardware wallets like ledger or trezor and also don't install anything that you are unsure on your computer because there is a possible virus that is implanted. don't also go to any website and don't open emails that is spam to you for your safety

I think the best way to make secure bitcoin is thorough and very careful in maintaining the private key, do not just any paste in public place, essentially we must be careful and should not be careless.

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 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?

The best choice is hardware wallets. Their price is justified by your calmness and confidence that you will not lose your bitcoins. Hardware wallets are the most reliable. Hardware wallets are separate devices designed exclusively for the safe storage of crypto currency. They connect to the computer only for operations with crypto currency. They have a built-in secure processor. You do not need to enter your private key every time, just a pin code is enough. Even if such a device breaks or is lost, you can restore access to your currency on the new device with the help of the phrase-pass that you get when you first use it.

I think it is secured well, and we don't need to feel anything, I might be this blockchain technology is Rich and well developed. I haven't heard about any case when Bitcoin was not secure, so I think it is secured well, and we don't need to feel anything, I might be this blockchain technology is Rich and well developed.

From my personal point of view, we should buy Ledger Nano S cold storage to store our bitcoin numbers. I feel that all trading floors have holes. We should not put our money on it, very unsafe. We should spend $ 150 to buy a cool purse Ledger so we do not have to worry about our money. The security level is very high.

I think bitcoin is not as safe as we thought, bitcoin prices are fluctuating and unstable, after rebounding to $ 8500 then the bitcoin price now drops to $ 7500 and are still downward adjustment. You can see that investors are starting to panic and start divesting, so I believe that at this time the bitcoin bubble has broken.

Bitcoin is one of the safest investment one can ever venture because the decentralized nature of it allows its users or holders to have absolute control over its transactions hence the total security of Bitcoin in a particular wallet lies in the care of the holder of that wallet. It is all about how safe a wallet holder keeps the login details to a wallet.

it is the best to secure your accounts specially with passwords that dont have dictionary meaning, it would also be nice to have numbers and alternating caps on it, that way one can reduce the risk of hackers trying to brute force your password. the only remaining attacks that is possible are false emails or if someone have the access to your information. that makes bitcoin if not the most, one of the most secure currencies present.

Well its really major problem on how we store our bitcoins. I do think the most think that you can do is store it on hard wallet and also dont let anyone know your private key and also remember to not open any kind of supicious site, cause it might be turn out as phising site.

bitcoin would be one of the most secure currencies available. the onky risk you would have is its value going below its normal which is based on your country or hackers that would try to access your account and steal your coins. the first condition cannot be prevented but the latter is basically based on how you protect your data and account so in totality it is really safe.

Yeah all levels of security will depend on yourself. how do you manage your bitcoin. if you choose to use hardware wallet it would be
much safer. but if you use the exchange as your wallet its would be high risk. you know how to secure and which is safer

By my understanding, Bitcoin uses SHA-256 as a cryptographic technique for encrypted, and if someone wants to break this encryption, maybe it a very very long time.
But I just want to raise a question: What if the quantum computing once mature, and is it BItcoin safe anymore? Since the quantum computing power can break the SHA-256 encryption with very fast.

There are many fraudsters in the Crypto market and many hackers want to attack the trading floors to make money from it. So we should not put too much money on the trading floors, split up and put in different wallets.
Besides that, scammers are very much and you should not make deals with strangers.

Indeed it is safe, however, there are still people who keep on trying to steal thru hacking the coins that have been mined. In spite of this, there is nothing to worry since bitcoin is safe and secured cause they invested the right amount to keep the profit rolling out the market.

Just like how government and banks invested to make the money safe in spite of people trying to steal, bitcoin was in it safest place as well from any hackers. Just do what is necessary to keep your account details private so no one can get any information of your account.

To be safe you should install dual-layer security and in your computer should install the maximum protection software it will detect the wrong login of your account, and you should trade at the trading platform.good prestige

How make you sure to safe your Bitcoins?

Bitcoin is safe as long as we know how to maintain our credentials, account details, private key and personal data to be safe. I also do not put it into one account, i melted some bitcoin me and the other i enter my alternate bitcoin wallet as well and i install antivirus and spyware to my pc for extra extra action is best.
