The wallet provider If you have any bitcoins they have to be stored somewhere. There are a lot of wallet providers that make it a lot eaiser to use your bitcoins

Any wallet can be hacked. But I heard that the safest wallets are purses of cold storage. They store your bitcoins on the device and only you have access to the wallet

Not all the types of wallet can be hacked and the examples for that as a proof is the paper wallet because it is an offline wallet and if you are going to put a lot of bitcoin there then there is nothing to worry about because it can't be hacked because of being offline and that is also the same concept that the hardware wallet has so it will keep you safe from hackers.

There more chances of hacking if you are storing your bitcoins in online wallets and exchanges always keep in mind not to store your bitcoins on exchanges as there are more chances for you to loose bitcoins, not all wallets can be hacked, paper wallets, hardware wallets,USB wallets and Trezor are the safest wallets available in the crypto market. For buying and selling of bitcoins you need to use good reputed exchanges or else you might loose your bitcoins. Hackers can hack anything be it bitcoin wallets or the normal banking system when hackers attack banks the bankers will not be able to do anything, they might loose their customers trust and databases. To keep your bitcoins safe you need to store your bitcoins in cold storages like USB devices, paper wallets and hardware wallets.

As far as I know, the wallet is located on the cold storage can't be hacked. The fact that the hackers only need your private key.

Yes, hackers can hack almost everything today. There's a high possibility that they can steal your every device's data including your wallet information if you are careless. One of the best way to protect your wallet information is not to tell anybody and don't save it to untrusted cloud storages.

For me Yes! Some people really specialize in Hacking so long as you can not trust others your details like Email adds, Personal profile and Pin code and passwords.
Through it you will be able to assure yourself and you are not so nervous that you may be hacked.

The chance for hacker to hack your wallet is 40% that's is if you take the necessary precaution like having a permanent computer which is only meant for your wallet only, using authentication or 2fa with the use to good antivirus like Kaspersky etc.

Most of the times hacked electronic wallets cases happened because the user made a mistake, most commonly giving away his private key. And that happened because those people where not that careful and had limited knowledge about wallets and how transactions work. So, get informed, be very careful and for an extra layer of security use a ledger, a hardware wallet to store your coins.

I always say it is highly unlikely that a hacker will hack your coin, however it is highly likely that your roommate or girlfriend will login to your weakly protected wallet o your device and steal it from you. 2FA isn't eough sometimes.

Online wallets are quite risky and there is always a chance that the coins can be stolen by the thieves. But if you use 2FA, then the risk can be reduced by 99.99% (if not 100%). Also, always use gmail along with your online wallet. Gmail always check for new IPs and it will ask for additional verification if it finds suspicious activity with the wallet.

I have heard about 2FA but have not tried yet, bnaj can share its experience using it and help me understand how it works

I have heard about this through the media and the media
This is really scary
And a minus point for bitcoins, is a loophole for criminals
I have not been hacked yet
And I hope people keep their money well

Yes i think it is possible that bitcoin wallet can be hack because of emerging computer technology. But there are some security measures to take care of your bitcoin wallet. One is put your bitcoin where you hold your private key. Also you can put it on a hardwallet which you can purchase. Make atleast 2 or more depending on how much worth bitcoin you have.

For me as what I have wallet used now I pretty asure it can't be hack by the hackers I have my own key to access my wallet. Have a mobile number to confirmed every transactions made. Don't give in formation about your wallet even your email address and password it maybe lead hackers do hacked your account.
