Topic: ❗❗ Friendly Reminder: SECURE. YOUR. ASSETS. - page 2. (Read 1519 times)
Unfortunately, some people seriously think about the safety of their funds when they have already been stolen. But it is necessary to think about it first of all. Do not assume that you will not be affected. This can happen to anyone and so you should immediately determine how to protect your investment.
there are those who are careful by nature and those who are carefree. You might tell the later to be careful a million times but all in vain until they get into trouble.
Way ahead of you, just purchased 3 additional Nano Ledgers while they were 50% off during the black Friday sale.
My old one broke, so I definitely needed to buy some more.
Might give one to a friend, it's still in its original packaging.

A very good advise assets are of more importance so we have to ensure its safe from hackers else once its gone its gone so the hard wallet is a very god idea to make use of
This is true. Recent hackings are from exchanges. Storing coins in a hardware wallet or paper wallet would be the best bet. My advice is when using exchanges deposit in exhanges, do your transaction then withdraw as soon as you have finished.
We been experience some hacking in internet and most of the people who store their coins in exchange or online wallet are the people who really experience hacking. Your suggestion about storing coins in a hardware wallet is very effective and most of the people who holding huge amount of coins they use it because it is very secure.
This is very important now, because some hackers need money now for Xmas gifts and also to pay for their expensive holidays. 
Yes, they are human just like us and they have families too, so they need more money now, over the festive season. 
If you do not have the money to buy a hardware wallet, then just dump 80%+ of your coins into paper wallets. They are free and very easy to create.
I created my paper wallets on a old cheap computer & printer that will never be linked to the internet again.

hello guys, i a newbie, so you can give me some experiences
Hi. Head over to https://cryptosec.info/ and read our general guides. Here are some of the important ones:
I agree with you, everything in cyberspace is very vulnerable to hacking. And using a hardware wallet to store our cryptocurrency is a very good action to prevent things you don't want.
In this business where every transaction is irreversible and discrete. The safety of my coins sometimes really worried me, especially since I'm the kind of stubborn and it's not strange if sometimes I lose my coin by mistake. Even the safest wallet can not really be trusted. I think even having a hardware wallet can not make us really safe.
Security is always a serious concern in the world of crypto. I believe we need more of such education to increase the public education and create the necessary awareness for people to protect their hard earned digital currency. The hardware wallets have always been very expensive to purchase one.
$60m stolen from Japanese exchange on Sept 19. Definitely don't keep a lot of crypto on exchanges!
But an interesting point was made about hardware wallets: they can be stolen, seized by police, lost, hw failure, etc. If you are storing coins for a longer term and don't need to do transactions, just make a paper wallet or write down your passphrase and store someplace safe in a non-obvious way. Get an old book and circle letters or something

I think now a hardware wallet is a must, especially if the test phase has been overcome. The safety of my coins sometimes really worries me, especially since I'm the kind of hard guy. And it's not strange if sometimes I lose my coin by mistake. Even the safest wallet can not really be trusted. I think even having a hardware wallet can not make us really safe.

While waiting for the market bull run, first make sure that your bitcoin/cryptocurrency investments are actually secure. Always remember:
NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR COINS
If you're still using services like Coinbase to store majority of your coins, you could possibly lose your investments(not an exaggeration). Sure, we respect Coinbase for their service, but Coinbase is NOT hack-proof. NOTHING in general is 100% secure, especially for a centralized system. People in the past probably thought that MtGox was also actually "secure" enough, well guess what happened?
You're significantly decreasing the chances of your crypto getting stolen when using a well-made paper wallet or a hardware wallet.
Some reputable hardware wallets:
- Ledger Nano S: https://www.ledgerwallet.com/
- Trezor: https://trezor.io/
-
If you said trezor or ledger is the best wallet, then i strongly agree with you.
Because trezor and ledger is a hard wallet, you need to use it if you want the best security for your wallet.
Many phishing hacking occurred because they require to input their key before send coins.

Thank you for the reminder. Now i will start looking for a secure wallet.
Don't look for it, just make paper wallets.
Yes, hardware wallets are more secure to cover your assets. They have many advantages than software wallets such as it never needs to be touched, open source soft, immune to computer viruses which steals from softs, cannot be transferred in plain text etc. Researching for best wallets I found Ledger nano s, keep keys, Trezor etc in the list.
Thank you for the reminder. Now i will start looking for a secure wallet.

Yes your right, even sites has a very good security system, you cannot say that it is invulnerable from hacking. Hacking are happens every where at anytime, so you better to secure your coins first into the very safest wallet in crypto. Because we all dont know when or where do hackers do that dirty job to steal our assets in an instant. Safety is better than sorry.
This is a must and it should be the first concern of the newbies and the other type of investors that are just getting started because they should consider having a safe place for their investment and they should not worry about spending money to an investment of security because that is where they will rely for the safety of their assets.
Good timely reminder. I do store most my coins offline. But I also have some in Coinbase as well for fast trading. Coinbase also gives me a bit warm and fuzzy feeling cuz they have never been hacked, plus they are fdic insured so hopefully you should be good up to $250k.
Thank you for this helpful tips. Yes you are correct hardware wallet are indeed far more better than any online wallets. It is also suggested to use hardware wallet when storing coins rather than using any online ones. I am saving and planning to buy one for storing most of my bitcoin.
