On the Internet, as in everyday life, you need to be careful. Losing coins can be very easy if your wallet is hacked, it just need to go to the wrong link

I will be preserving my own money almost all within my finances yet We have retain my own exclusive tips or perhaps pw in the universal serial bus where I will be preserving that within my risk-free along with my own passport and also almost all crucial files. My partner and i Will not merely help save that anyware. We have in addition, it within my notebook yet my own notebook will be attached and contains security password and also My partner and i will not carry it everywhere therefore it is risk-free in the home.

It's not about paranoia,it's about banal security.It is better to be safe once again, then nothing will happen!After all, as practice shows, it is only once to relax and lose vigilance.As immediately that any is happening.I keep my coins in a special vallet,and passwords in a few instances originally in different secure locations.After hearing stories about lost codes from wallets with thousands of bitcoins, as it immediately decided to be safe) And what you advise.What if you were robbed, stolen computer or it burned down or drowned?)A lot can happen,so it's not worth the risk.Store cryptocurrency on special wallets and sleep peacefully.Only duplicate passwords and hide.

I think it's all solved by a cold wallet such as LAGER NANO or TRESOR. and then you can leave the laptop on the table in the Starbucks as well as before.

Physically secure means hardware wallet? Actually, I am planning to buy a hardware wallet very soon. At this moment I am using metamask wallet to secure my coins. I think metamask is far far better wallet than so-called myetherwallet. But everyone knows, the best wallet is the physical wallet and they are Nano ledger and trezor.

Indeed we as crypto currency players must be vigilant when facing a situation that we must leave our device for some time, for example as you say when leaving a laptop just to go to the toilet. If I become you then before going to the toilet I will close all my laptop access with a password then turn off the laptop temporarily and bring my laptop with me to the toilet. Indeed this step seems more complicated but security is more guaranteed. Indeed we should be vigilant in various situations.

We're all aware of the risks of keeping our coins on online wallets and exchange wallets, but many of us still keep our coins on our own devices.

Are we keeping our devices secure? Its instinctual to not leave your fiat money wallet unattended in a public place but what about your bitcoin wallet? Are you leaving leaving the laptop you're writing your novel on the table at Starbucks when you go the bathroom? The laptop with your electrum wallet, your life savings.

Where does the line between paranoia and reasonable physical security meet?

What for one might seem reasonable for another it might seem complete madness. Its just a matter of perspective, some people will think you are crazy for doing so much work to secure some coins and others will still think you can do more. I think watching out to what wi-fi you connect when you go to a public space or having a good antivirus, etc its just the smart thing to do.


I'm keeping my coins not only physically but i always monitor it in my account so i can surly and relaxed that my coin is safe it just a remained to us that not only in physical way keeping something but we have to be responsible to any thing.

I am using a paid antivirus, hardware wallet, encrypted messaging, generated 30 symbols passwords, (unique for all the cases).
I believe, that hackers will have a hard-time hacking me, lol.

  We have our own safety net that being practice, Yes, our individual coins are all keep in our Devices, secured and well protected from any possible causes of damage. Its not paranoia but just security concerns, it is a hard earn coin from profits, investment in the market, we should never leave our Wallet in an open and not secured place even in our house.

Yes of course, we need to keep our coins or tokens both physically and logically secure.
usually im saving my wallet info in some storage. Then safe the storage to a safe place somewhere.
create the backup as well because sometime you can forget where you store it.

I think paranoia and reasonable physical security have a first meeting when his owner begins to experience fear of losing it.

Yes definitely turning off your laptop when in the bathroom is a wise decision.

Well, I think my wallets are safe in my own device.None has the right to touch or use my device without my permission. Moreover, I don't share my wallets private key with anyone as I'm not a fool.So, It is safe as long as it iis in my own devices.



Always wise to avoid sharing your private key, but also wise to store your private key in more than one spot that of course only you know.

We keep our coins in our own specific manners that we know it that it is in an exceptionally anchored place and we are likewise in charge of it if whatever conceivable to happen, simply don't put all your egg in one crate since the sky is the limit to occur in advanced world.

Exactly, keeping all your eggs in one basket, even a secure basket is unwise. Storing all your eggs in at least two extremely secure and separate baskets is ideal.

No, currently to reduce risks of hack, I just split the investments in different exchanges.

If we want to keep our coin/token more safe, we should store our coin on our own wallet. If we decide using exchanger, we should put high security on it by installing 2FA. Its much more safe for us if we store our coin and token on our hard wallet but not many of us have it, so i think the best thing to do is always keep safe our private key
