AML Bitcoin (ABTC) uses a Privately regulated public blockchain. This is one of many amazing benefits that this crypto offers to prevent theft.

It is nearly impossible to hack the Bitcoin networks and steal. You will need to find private key for a particular public address. Private key is the combination of letters, symbols and digits. So it is not possible for any hacker to guess the private key easily and hack the network of bitcoins to steal it.

In accordance with the way hackers must have many ways to hack Bitcoin owned on every member but it can be anticipated, provided we keep the existing private key and careful to save it.

I'm not an expert in computer science but I read an article that in the 10 year time Bitcoin cant be hacked.

Those are the quantum computers and yes, i think that they can easily crack a private key in a few minutes if they really wan to do make it happen, i am not sure at 100% anyway

Maybe that is possible, I don't know really. Everything has its weak point.  Smiley

If sometime this happens, that the computer will crack the codes of the block, it will not happen very soon. Most likely, it will be a new era. In the meantime, you can be calm for your keys.))

It's not the matter of  powerful computer its the matter of  efficiat technitions they can hack easily our bitcoin. Better you need to use hardware wallets and avoid transaction through mobile internet,otherwise they may be hacked.

considering that bitcoin is still under the blockchain technology, it is hard to believe that there is a hardware that can actually hack the bitcoin and can access the private key. As long as you know how blockchain works then there is no reason for you to doubt its power of security.

Let me avoid the technical aspects to make things easy for all readers.

So someone said that America's NSA has this great computer(quantum computer) that could easily hack Bitcoin private keys. I really doubt his claim but I know for sure that certain computers  like the most powerful Super Computers are within the reach of some of this Intelligence organizations.
Do you think such computers can crack any security codes put in place to make Bitcoin very secure?

The thing is, on paper, everything is hack-able. But when talking about hacking(or brute forcing in this situation) bitcoin private keys, I think it will take a very VERY long time for them to be able to score a private key. Were talking about long enough for multiple generations of people to die and be born.

I thought so, I've seen in an interview that bitcoin is really hack-able but it will cost a lot of dollars to do so.

This is the first I read of such thing but if it is possible to steal a bitcoin private key, then this could render Bitcoin worthless, I think this is one of the things that can contribute to Bitcoin's downfall, we all know bitcoin is secure peer to peer transaction, if it is not safe anymore, nobody will use or hold it anymore.

I think that there will be a quantum computer in the future. Its powerful computing power is very likely to instantly crack bitcoin's private key. This is very worrying. As for the current computer, I don't think it has the ability to crack the cryptocurrency.
if there is a quantum computer in the future it takes a very long time and makes it not just, there must be smart people who are experts in the field of blockchain technology. we know that bitcoin is difficult to control even the government can not afford to use bitcoin.

I think it all depends on the level of security.
if it is true that bitcoin can be hacked it means that people are really great and such people can be dangerous if they can break into bitcoin security and break into bank banks around the world. I hope not to have such a person in this world

It has already been discussed in here several times already, and i think that almost all the people in here said that it was possible, but it will take some years until all those computers get created.

In my opinion, it might just happen. But I think that the main factor in robbery or bitcoin hacking is the hacker itself. So the key is a smart person who can hack. As good as any computer used if it is not supported by intelligent human resources then it's like a sophisticated aircraft but no one can operate it. A smart person can create a system with software to steal bitcoin private key. So in my opinion, not a sophisticated computer but a smart person.

Many people are always worried that quantum computers pose a threat to Bitcoin, but I disagree with this view that Bitcoin will evolve with the times. After the birth of the quantum computer, I think that Bitcoin may come in and out with more difficult passwords to fight against Quantum computer.
Well, if we don't really know bitcoin well we will really  worried about what will happen for us, if bitcoin will hack or not, just like me I don't have much knowledge about the technical matters about blockchain and how it works, at first, I was worried too but as time goes by I do have now the full confidence on it.

In my own opinion, not only the most powerful computer could hack bitcoin.  Hackers are hackers, what ever stage they are, if they will hack you, they can and could.  In that aspect, we are the one should be more cautious to avoid being hacked.  If we avoid negligence, no powerful computer is enough to hack our account.  Only my opinion.
