Unless you're actively spending your bitcoinsthey should always be in cold storage. I wouldn't recommend hardware wallets because you're still relying on someone else to not screw up.

Just remember to be your own bank and trust no one, then you're all set.

We're all aware of the risks of keeping our coins on online wallets and exchange wallets, but many of us still keep our coins on our own devices.

Are we keeping our devices secure? Its instinctual to not leave your fiat money wallet unattended in a public place but what about your bitcoin wallet? Are you leaving leaving the laptop you're writing your novel on the table at Starbucks when you go the bathroom? The laptop with your electrum wallet, your life savings.

Where does the line between paranoia and reasonable physical security meet?
Actually Now I don't have a coin to keep but in the past I think I have secured my crypto in my online wallet. It is just just check its transaction history  always and don't give your private key, back then I questioned private key cause it can be generated via program and can be hacked but based on my experience in doesn't happen. I have also converted it into fiat and that's how my money l

You may want to avoid keeping your coins in an online wallet in the future, keeping in cold storage on your own device is much safer.

I use my hardware wallet for most of my investments and some in software wallets but that doesn't make my coins security tight. As it remains in the Blockchain and I have only the key access to it to save in my wallets. So, I just can assure that secured coins are not exchanged or traded without my consent.

Of course no one knows my password to secure all of my tokens to my wallet. I did not trust my account anymore and maybe when I was awake one day I lost my tokens to my wallet.

I think all bounty hunters will keep their coins very secure. But why is it that their are some bounty hunters will victims of hackers that they always prevent their coins in a very safe.

Of course it must. If you not physically secure your coins, you may lose them later. for example i usually backup my wallet information in some storage.
Like flashdisk or hardisk, and keep them safe with my possession. Provide a deposit box if needed, then put your storage in the box.
If something bad happened like fire, flood, earthquake or others, your wallet backup will safe.

As I know it is very secure but I don't know why is it that the hackers can hack it easily. For those who have bitcoin they know already that their coin put it in very secure places.

Of course I do. I don't have a hardware wallet but I keep my coins offline on a drive that doesn't get connected to the Internet. If I ever need to use them I'll connect the computer, update the wallets and send everything to an exchange. That is if it goes down and I need to get rid of it. If it goes up i'll buy a hardware wallet to be even safer.

I keep mine in a Trezor wallet, with only small amounts on exchanges except when I might add more for a specific trade. I also use local bitcoin for fiat/bitcoin trades both ways, usually face to face transactions. Just think crypto is no different from, fiat if you lose your crypto/fiat or get robbed then it will hurt.
