Yes, in this critical times that hard to deal with, there's so many thieves nowadays. It is possible that bitcoin can steal because thieves can hacked any bitcoin user's accounts. But I think bitcoin provide ways to protect their bitcoin from the hackers or thieves.

yes they can. if you have no solution to protect your wallet and computer, you will lose your coins. i always use strong password, authy and metamask to protect my wallet
True, we need authentication too for a strong security and a long password. Scammers is everywhere, if they want to steal they can do. They have many ways to steal, so better to double protect it.

if you save it with keystore and you never show kprivate key to anyone, it will be safe. do not know also if his wallet site can be hacked, hopefully not.

I dont think so. If the person who steals a bitcoin user and that bitcoin user has a hard wallet that has a private keys it cant be possible to steal it. They cant steal anything from you. But if the person doesnt secure their bitcoin i think it is possible to steal it. So probably its a half half i think.

stealiing and phishing might be possible but the chances are that they would hack you is none. Keys are almost impossible to crack and bypass even retrieving lost keys are impossible.

Hi, have you ever thought this?

You know that, to import a wallet you need the private key or your seed. Taking as example the private key (the 52 letters key). It could exist the possibility someone create a software whose function was to try thousands of times to find the private key till it is be done.This would be like the process to find the new block in mining, anyway you can try the times you want in order to find it.

I think this could be a weakness, correct me if I am wrong. Smiley

Or comment if you have a kind of solution for this...

Regards!


The chances of collision is extremely small. Like way too small to even try it. The resources they would be spending would be tremendous and the cost would not be worth spending. Even the chances of cracking empty wallet is very high, so no one even tries to do that. Even if was actually possible, we would regularly be hearing about this and crypto currencies would not have succeeded.

Based on the algorithm that generates private and public keys, the probability of such a programme delivering is infinitesimally remote. But 'never say never', especially when there is a little hole to be exploited, 'never say never'.

If you get careless and you get hacked, chances are your Bitcoins and other precious
data will surely get stolen and exploited. I've come across topics and cases that have
been hacked and got some coins stolen, even with security features wallets have if
users are not careful enough then the probability of stolen bitcoins will continue to
emerge over time.

In the way you mentioned it, I'm sure it will be difficult for people to steal our btc even almost impossible it can happen. because I know they will usually steal through phishing, where some bitcoin owners will be fooled through the phishing so their btc wallet password will be known by the thief and then btc inside will be taken. for it is wary of phishing and must be careful in opening the website, so we are not fooled by the thieves.

You can hack if you didn't observe the link that you are clicking and besides there is a lot of phishing site that once you click it you'll got hack and all your coin would be stolen and you can't recover it is better to use a ledger to store your private key to avoid being hack.

Yes, someone can steal you Bitcoin if you will expose your wallet address or you just click any fictitious link either thru email or text and that's what we called phishing. Hackers will get your basic information by pretending they are legible to ask things. Just be vigilant and be carefull in everything that we will do. Also, try to install google authencator that adds security features for your protection and safety.

It is very possible to steal, phishing is the one way tools to steal your bitcoin so be careful when opening any link, this is one problem here in crypto now a days, even a most secure and high level exchange site is a victim of a hack, so we are also be the responsible if our holdings being hack, so be careful, nothing here in online world are safe.

Yes, they can be stolen but its nearly impossible to do that. Web wallet services are easier to hack if the security isn't taken care of. Offline wallets impossible to hack as they are stored on a computer which never goes online. The transactions are signed offline and then broadcasted on a different computer.

If we make a mistake or go into the phishing website address most likely our btc will be lost or hackers invade the crypto exchange place.

Because of the security, it is not possible but i read a post here where someone said he lost 13 btc and i guess that is based on his carelessness. So, it's not entirely impossible if you are not careful.
