I think  my physical wallet are secure. No one knows my private keys or my password. I wrote it down on my notes. And i put a 2FA also. So hackers wont easy for them to hacked my wallet.

Only HW wallet and it's not paranoia because the cryptos represent digital keys which might potentially get hacked.

Physically secure means I think hardware wallet will be the answer. I always keep my hardware wallet in a locker. When I want to deposit or sell coins, then I unlock my hardware wallet. Besides this, I never open my hardware wallet. Because I check my balance from etherscan and ethplorer, so if I go the bathroom by leaving my laptop then that will be not a problem, because of my hardware wallet in a box wit locker.  Cheesy

Many users are worried that private keys from their bitcoin-wallet can be stolen. Existing systems do not solve the issue of security of private keys and allow users to make orders on the pages of online stores and make payments directly from their wallet

The coins are suppose to be in the hardware wallet are the one we want to keep for a while but the coin we are trading with on daily basis have to be in exchangers we are trading because one minute matters alot in trading.
Coin coins should be stored in the wallet or on the hardware. in my opinion if the coin stored in the wallet will be safe. if you feel worried you can always make sure your coin is safe.

this is very dangerous. I think that over time this problem will be resolved and we will not be afraid for our bitcoins

There is that line somewhere. Some people are living on one side and some on the other side of the line. A friend of mine doesn't care about security, he is thinking that there is no chance for his device to be compromised.Third is using a trusted wallet online if you can't afford to buy a hardware wallet.

Well I am not keeping my bitcoin physically, because first of all it is not already have a physical output in our country or simply means it is not already a currency in our country. I am keeping it in my online wallet, why? Because this wallet is trusted and tested that is why I am not worried.

For me it is more safe and secure if we keep it in our devices as long as we store it in a legit way,if you keep it physically for me it can be stole, it is more safe and reliable if it is in our device.

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?

It's not like when you keep your coins on your device will guarantee safety for your coin, you should pay attention to what you do with your device.

it's better not use your device on public, use your other device if you want to do something. if you use public wi-fi, i think it more dangerous instead using your own internet, because public wi-fi more vulnerable.

definitely go with hardware wallet, it doesn't cost too much and gives you the right amount of protection if you know how to use it properly and back up your keys of course

Well keeping your cryptocurrencies on a hardware wallet is one of the best ways of saving your coins but the thing is it is quite expensive to get on these days. Currently some online wallets have renovated their system to authenticate transactions by other security features such as google authenticator code and i guess that should help get rid of all those third party infiltration into the account of people.
