Your guess is as good as mine, exchanges offer little to no protection to traders in case of security breach or emergency! If you are not actively trading, there is no point keeping your coin on any exchange!

if in my opinion saving coins in exchange is too risky for now, but because we know that this is a hacker's general target, it's okay if this coin is for short-term storage but for the long term, and it would be better to keep it on a hard wallet, like the Nano booklet, I think of it as safe storage.

If you store coins on the exchange then you can lose them at any time, because the exchange can cease to exist

they are safe in most cases, unless they are hacked, and I mean in large exchanges like Binance and bithumb, never put money on small exchanges for a long time

I would not store my coins on online resources, especially if they cost more than $ 1000. They are often hacked. Better use hardware wallets.
Agreed. Especially when you have a very large capital, is not it that you will be sorry to allocate a percentage of hardware storage? In business, this is called costs.

I feel keeping our coins in exchanges, mininize the risk of loosing our coins to wallet hackers.

In my opinion,  it depends on what will you do to your coins. If your coins will be use in day to day profit or swing trading, you have to keep in the exchange site to trade easily. But if your coins is for long term investment and hold for a while, it is good to keep the coin in your personal wallet that  you have own control with the private key.

I think you need to keep your coins in several purses so as not to lose them. I would advise you to use your hardware wallets, it's safe. I do not advise you to keep coins online.

Keeping our coins in exchange is very dangerous because hackers are now intensifying their ability to hack, as the current incident of hacking hit binance and other big exchange company, even though they had install software for security measures but hackers still manage to hack their system, furthermore it is safer to have your coins in hardware wallet rather than in exchange.

Many people keep their savings on stock exchanges, but I'm not a supporter of such cases, I think that storing tokens and coins must necessarily be stored on separate purses. I think it will be much safer than storing on stock exchanges.

I think Binance and coinbase are an exception, otherwise don't keep it on the exchange.

can i ask why you think that Binance and coinbase are safer than other exchanges? do you have some information about that?

I prefer to keep coins in my wallet, or on a large exchange. But no matter how good the exchange may be, it can be hacked.

Dear all,
"Coins kept in exchange, are they safe?" Oh, that is very interesting question. And it is difficult to say it is safe or not. The trust of exchange is the key factor to beleive it. The trust is built in a long time. We can beleive it.

They are not that safe as there's a lot of cases of exchanges got hacked and lost lots of money so it's certainly not recommended to store your money there. If you want more security then you should consider buying a hardware wallet whether it is ledger nano or trezor as they can prevent your coin from getting stolen.

My friends told me from the beginning that i should not store coins on a exchange.
They said that a exchange can be hacked or suddenly disappear with my coins.
Therefore, i can not advise anyone to store coins on a exchange.
Not good to store your coins in an exchange for long, day trader is good to do but not safe to kept. This is absolutely correct exchange can be hacked as many users getting scam in the exchange.

I think there is no guarantee your coins are safe on the exchanges, and there are several cases of theft in exchanges, such as bithumb exchange that occur several weeks. so I hope you have to be careful

Just do it if you want lose all your coin. You know BTC-e and Mt.Gox Huh Exchange is not safe for hodl your coin, only trade not hodl. I prefer use cold wallet: Ledger, Trezor or you can use offline wallet.

Hmm, that though not entirely correct because the exchange can be hacked too just like our website wallet. I have once delivery many coins into an exchange but they turn into scammer, and now I lost all my coins there Sad. So, it's very important to choose the legit exchange that great in their security and also not become a scammer.
