How to keep the BitCoins Safe?

[Johnyz]

You can store in Exchange wallet like Binance, kucoin or Bittrex. All are secure and trusted. Besides you can use Blockchain or Trezor.

Thats bad idea, if you keep your money in exchange, third parties are very vulnerable to hack and cheat. so don't use a third party to store your money, of course you heard the recent news about cryptopia right? I think you should learn from this tragedy

We have no control on our exchange wallet so I also believe that this idea is not good in terms of security. Better to buy a hard wallet, and to keep you safe from any scammer try not to make any transactions that is not trusted and don't deal to anyone you don't know. Exchanges are very prone for the hackers be careful even if its a top exchange.

You should never keep in exchanges more rhan you need to trade in the near future. Exchanges can be hacked more easily than a hardware wallet.

If you have important amounts of crypto, just buy a ledger nano s or other cold wallet.

If we do not have the intention to trade our coins in the near future, it would be better if we withdraw all our coins and store it in our personal wallets. Leaving coins in exchange for a relatively long time is certainly very risky. There are many examples of cases that are less pleasant about it and we should make the anticipation.

Use Good hardware wallets like Trezor to store your funds. Storing is exchanges is never advisable. Also, Try to trade on exchanges that do not ask for KYC as there are cases where the KYC documents are sold after the exchange is hacked.

Few exchanges that do not ask for KYC are:
1. Bitmex
2. CoinSwitch.co
3. Changelly

The end result of any exchange using third parties will not yield good and reliable result. Never forget the recent attacked on exchanges including the trusted ones which lead to major lost of customers funds. Experience has taught me not to ever keep my coins in any exchange because i was a victim of the said Cryptopia hacked account with over $300.

Comrade, i will state this categorically that, not all hacked are done without the negligence of the Hodler. Many hacked were as a result of ones carelessness to either a friend or to a relative. These type of negligence could lead to the lost of $40 to $100 and above, once you cann't secure your private keys and password then get ready to loose any amount to petty hackers weather the said amount in the account is small or big.

Bitcoin was introduced for perfect anonymity and al the transaction was recorded publicly  in block chain technology. Bitcoin seems to be secure because of the digital decentralized and anonymity of the transactions  To keep Bitcoin safe, store a small amount of Bitcoins in wallet app  for low value transactions and not to give your private keys to anybody .

[jeromix]

Of course there is no other way to keep bitcoins safe and that is to create 3 or more hardware wallet if you just intend to hold bitcoin. But, if you are trading it then definitely that would be risky and it will compromise your holdings for there are many scammers, hackers, and fraudsters out there. Hackers would be the main reason getting out your bitcoin while your sleeping and the other reason if your bitcoin will be stolen is just due to your ignorance.

Its really better to keep your bitcoins in a hardware wallet that leaving it in an exchange or web wallet because its more risker than a hardware wallet. Mostly crypto experts recommend a paper or hardware walley to keep
your cryptocurrencies.

Your discussion is good in all regard but I only chose blockchain as it keeps our bitcoin safer from all kind of having issues and it helps us to hold and let it grow, I am happy I am using blockchain it is best wallet ever, we can save as long as we want, nothing is bad in it, blockchain is easy to hold and it is helps us keep our bitcoin for long as long we want to hold.

I also feel it, in the end we can't do anything. because the local police will certainly not respond to your report. all we have to do is
save assets in a safe place, dont use third party ! and if you want to trade, use an old exchange that is already guaranteed

Hack and Hacks, every day I am waking up to the news of crypto exchanges getting hacked, recently a crypto exchanges founder died and he seem to have a hold of $190 million worth of BitCoins with him.
I have taken a pledge of never using a custodial exchanges, even if it is Binance, and not matter how much CZ says that he will keep the cryptos SAFU, I am not doing the mistake of keeping my money at stake.

I did a detailed study of what exchanges to use and what wallets to use -
 

• Exchanges - Instant exchanges only, Changelly, ChangeNow, CoinSwitch etc.
• Wallets - Divided into two parts - Ledger NANO S for long term investment, and keeping the funds safe, MultiCurrency wallet for trading, ex - Gaurda Wallet, Exodus Wallet

Let me know what you guys think.

You can keep your bitcoin asset is safe by always use best and potential exchange for holding your bitcoin asset, never save your bitcoin on new exchange market because is risk some time your fund is lost without any reason.

There's no such thing as safe exchange, no matter how trusted or legit they are. Remember, not your keys, not your coins. If you're a trader, don't leave loads of fund in your exchange, withdraw them somewhere safe like a hardware wallet or wallet that you have total control.

@Siren - thanks for that info, I'm not aware of Infinitus wallet, I'll probably check them out.

you're right, it might be quite dangerous to save assets on an exchanger. however, I feel that there are still many people who do that, even me. I know that saving assets on hardwallet is safer. but, maybe saving the exchagner is simpler. well, that might apply to short-term storage.

At last the holder has to decide, where his assets should go after he/she passes away. This is just getting wasted when leaving the coins on a wallet and disappearing. What is the use of even keeping them safe when its not usable by any. Best think can be done is, choosing a person a nominee and leaving out the details to the nominee when he / she falls sick.
