I love the concept of Bitcoin. I believe the Internet will redefine currency as we know it. I hope this helps the Bitcoin community to develop a currency that's really resilient to attacks.

But, is it possible?

No, no, no. I try it many times, dosnt works Wink

The worst hackers of Bitcoin is its forks. These are not cyber criminals, but it clones undermine BTC power and make unstable prices. Many investors start to worry about saving in Bitcoins. Huh

I think Bitcoin can not be attacked because Blockchain technology is now growing and no one knows how Bitcoin was created. Only exchanges are attacked and this really does not affect Bitcoin

Exactly, I don't understand why people say that Bitcoin can be hacked if the one being hacked is the person. Bitcoin has nothing to partake in this kind of disaster. No matter how many times you've been hacked or scammed, it is at the person's fault alone and not the medium that have been used.

Bitcoin can not be hacked, but you still need to be careful because wallets can be haked. That's why you need 2 FA or private key

Correct. Most of the website wallets dont have a private key and it would be best to use one with that kind of service.
2FA is okay but still I would prefer the private key.
Also better to have a offline wallet rather than a website which is probe to scams.

Bitcoin cannot be hacked as long as your security is tight. No one should know your password except you, never entrust to anybody or give it to anyone. Only you can secure your bitcoin.

be discarded. We know that technology is increasing exponentially, bringing as a consequence that in the not too distant future, everything that we know as safe is no longer. However, there is a ample possibility of bitcoin theft, but for reasons beyond to itself, as carelessness by users when transacting

Wallets can be hacked and not Bitcoin, but that's why you have keys and pin numbers, to keep your wallet safe and secure. It those are on digital platform then take it out and keep it physical.

That's correct, those wallets only gets hacked when we get reckless and loose our private keys somehow through social engineering or just leaving our computer at risk for some worms to steal information including your keys. It's just a matter of what we can do to protect our bitcoins than what hackers can do to steal them away from us.

Recent network security concerns about hackers and bitcoin exchanges have raised serious concerns about storing and transacting digital money in any form.

These concerns are compounded by the fact that no central bank or governmental authority backs the safety or soundness of digital currencies. Unlike fiat currencies like the US dollar, which is printed by the Federal Reserve, bitcoins are minted by complex interactions across a broad global computer network.

Due to the nature of digital mining, bitcoin’s value cannot be manipulated or altered. Bitcoin's value is secured thanks to the cryptographic functions that it employs, and though it could be hacked one day in the future, technology and cryptography experts agree that such an attack is unlikely in the near-term. However, the networks and storage locations where bitcoins are housed and “protected” can be hacked by malevolent forces. Despite assurances by bitcoin storage companies and developers of the currency, bitcoin exchanges can and have been hacked.

I would worry more about your personal PC and its access to your wallets being hacked. There are more and more ways that the scammers get you to download a file or app and then they have all your passwords, keys and what not. That is really the only viable reason to use online wallets, because some of the sites go beyond the key use and use two and three levels of security. New coins every day get this and that person to install the "wallet" and then it is all over.

As I know, attacking this forum or similar forum is not difficult for hackers but to attack the wallets to steal btc is very difficult or maybe say that that's impossible. The wallet has a very high security level that can not be undone. That is also a strength of btc.

How is it possible be? it's technology is a top secret. I remember several spam attacks that led to nothing anyways. But doing real damage? No, it can't be hacked in any scenario

Top secret?

It has been 8 years from the date Bitcoin was born. There are no known cases of hacked bitcoin. And it is impossible. But if you store Bitcoin and altcoin in hot wallet, Maybe hackers can attract it.

Yes bitcoin is providing high security. It is not easy to hack bitcoin.

No, "not easy" it's not the right word. When we talk about bitcoin we talk about the protocol and that is impossible to hack, mainly because there is nothing to "hack".
The only ones that are getting hacked are the ones that can't protect their wallets or servers.

Yes they can if they got the private key of your wallet, everything gonna be dark for you.

Since bitcoin is become popular many network security concerns about hackers and bitcoin exchanges have raised serious concerns about storing and transaction digital money in any form. But i think it cannot be hack if we have trusted bitcoin wallet.

Bitcoins can be hacked? I don't know about bitcoins but i think your bitcoin wallet can be hacked. There would be alot of skilled hackers out there who would be finding out new ways to hack bitcoin wallets. But you surely can make your bitcoin wallet more protected by using the best wallet out there and thus protecting it from hackers to some extent.

My answer is no. But if your mean is an online wallet, my answer is yes. There is no way confirm that wallet can't be hacked. therefore, the best way to protect yourself is used offline wallet.

Bitcoin is a profitable business. It's price is increasing day by day.In this respect,Bitcoin is secure. I think it is not risky one. It can't be hacked because it's security is so high.

based on the site i read recently its possible to hack bitcoin such as wallet etc. If you dont secure your important key. Or the reason which is when you connect to any public wifi or free wifi and you attempt to log in your important account. for example online wallets acounts or social media accounts and etc. theres a chance that the owner of wifi can access your personal information without risk. Because Now adays there are some stupid people put some key logger to copy all the information of the person connected to wifi . So i suggest that if want to connect in any public wifi don't forget to forgot the wifi first before you leaving to avoid that issue.
