Hardware wallets are really something that you should have because it keeps your money to be secured. Remember: that is your hard-earned money we are talking about.

You don't need a hardware wallet for maximum security. 99% of people getting ripped off are keeping all their BTC on a web wallet or in an online trading account.

Following these rules will eliminate most Bitcoin rip-offs:

Stop using web wallets
Don't keep all your BTC in your trading account (if you trade)
Store your Bitcoin using a method where you have possession of your private keys. You can use the bitcoin-core client if you're willing to download 150GB of data. Or you can use one of the thin clients. Electrum is a good example: Make a new wallet with a deterministic seed phrase, print it and keep it somewhere safe. If your computer is stolen or destroyed you can regenerate the wallet from the passphrase.
Stop using Windows. The Windows world is full of viruses and trojans that can steal your wallet.
Use a Linux computer with whole-drive LUKS encryption for Bitcoin.
Practice good internet hygiene. Don't download porn or torrents on the same computer as your Bitcoin. Keep your Bitcoin on a separate computer. Bitcoin is money and it's serious business.
If you're a profitable trader move your profits from the trading site to your secure wallet. Don't keep all your eggs in 1 basket.

Absolutely and thankyou for the detailed info,you guys are really awesome to take time and share the knowledge.RESPECT !

I personally never used Hardware wallet. I just try to say away from suspicious websites and I don't download weird/virused software. It's that simple.

You should give some recommendations about Hardware wallet or source where users can read about it. As I know, hardware wallet is good enough only if you follow the safety recommendations, like: copy your seed file or password, save seed file on non-internet connected storage drive and other...

Am I wrong?

Your cell phone with good antivirus software installed and a wallet app is safer than online storage:

How did you manage to lose your Bitcoin to hackers? Persoanlly I think that as long as you stay away from suspicious websites and you don't download any malware you should be 99% safe.

I read somehwere that ledger nano only lets you have 4 different coins in there at one time, surely that is not true?

The ledger nano s lets you store up to 24 currencies at the moment. You can find out which those are here:
https://ledger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005304449-Which-altcoins-and-tokens-are-supported-by-the-Ledger-products-
While it is true that there can only be up to 4 apps installed on it at the same time, you can just deinstall an app and install another one within 20-30 seconds.
The coins on the nano s stay safe during the whole process. They are all derivated from the seed. There is just not enough memory on the device to have more than 4 apps stored.

Thanks for the reminder. I agree that hardware wallet is really handy and able to secure our coins.

Are there any Hardware wallets supporting Multicoins, or are they just for BTC and ETH?

Checkout Ledger and Trezor, both support multi coins.

No, it support much more than that. ETH, Ripple, LTC and more, you can use Ledger with MEW for ERC20 tokens. Check out the website for the full list.

Well yes hardware wallets are one of the safest place to store your Bitcoins, but not all people needs to use this such as small holders for them to secure their Bitcoins, and you also have to use other kinds of wallet for you to be able to spend your Bitcoins. The misconduct of other people is making those exchanges and online wallets to store their coins, that's not the right thing to do and people should avoid doing that as we don't have the full control of our money in there, and also those exchanges and online wallets are the most prone from hacking. And lastly to avoid being hacked stop clicking links that are provided by random people on the internet because there's definitely one phishing site out there and never connect your device to any public wifis.

Sure, bro. I never hold anything at online wallets for a long run. I want to say more I will never be able to relax and sleep if I keep significant amount of currency by unsafe way, I trust noone and take responsibility by myself. I only use cold storage.

You are right. Buy a hardware walket at less than $100 and give us a peace of mind is very worth the price. There is no need to worry about leaking private key when we accidentally go to phishing website.

I think today even if you are the owner 0.5 Bitcoin is worth thinking about buying a hardware wallet. Exchange and cloud wallets are a direct way to loss of funds.

Hadware wallets cost a fortune and it is hard to obtain a good and legitimate one.
