I own a ledger nano s where I store my bitcoin holdongs,
But where do you hodl your alt coins that are not supported ?

That definitely is the best method to be protect your bitcoins and your ethereum. Even if your computer gets hacked your money is still safe, and compared to the potential loss that one can suffer when being hacked, the investment in a hardware wallet is really worth it.
For altcoins that are not supported on the ledger you can use a paper wallet if you want to use coldstorage and going long term on them. Most alts offer their own method/ service to create paper wallets. Those wallets can only receive and not send funds, so you would have to import the seed from the paper wallet to the wallet client (eg desktop wallet) of the particular altcoin and restore your wallet there to be able to send the funds out of this wallet again.

Just yesterday I come across one youtuber where he says
he just wake up and saw his 50 btc was vanish from his exodus wallet and also before that another 20 btc was vanish
he says he dont even know how this happen.

I think you should be more careful and you should keep your bitcoin account a secret even more confidential. other than that make a password very difficult so hackers are not easy to steal your bitcoin. do not put your bitcoin account on any computer, use your account on your personal computer.

On my opinion, one of the best ways to ensure you will not get hacked is by keeping every information a secret and create special method for securing and safeguarding your wallet.

Don't trust anyone to your account, just keep your information private to anyone because they might used your information and steal your money. If you have a wallet then keep it there because it is the safest you can do to keep your bitcoin.

download decentralized wallet.
never leave your bitcoins on exchanges.
no matter how well they say that they can protect it - it will always be better if you do it yourself.
you will be the greatest security of your coins as long as you know what you are doing.

Don't ever click any links from forums or telegram/slack/discord like EtherDelta, MEW or other site where you put your bitcoins because that is the only way that will make it easy for hackers to steal all of it.

I think the best was is to activate a google authenticator in your accounts so that it will increase your security level and hackers can not get into your wallet easily. Also save your private keys and do not miss it. Do not let your private keys be made known to other people even your friend because they can access your wallet and steal your bitcoin from your wallet.

Get a hardware wallet. 100 USD can get you most hardware wallets around and it isn't that bad of an investment if you are holding larger amounts of coins, especially with recent price surge.

Better be safe than sorry!

Very easy. Secure your wallet, store your private keys in safe that you are the only one who knows. Don't give it to others. Much suggested if you use ledger wallet. Keep your system safe, away from key loggers or any other malicous softwares.

Exactly. It isn't actually that hard to avoid hackers since crypto is pretty safe if you'd make the necessary precautions. It's even likelier to have your online bank account hacked than your btc wallet. Private keys are very important and you'll only be hacked if you've been foolish enough or careless enough to give hackers or other people ypur personal keys

do you have a link for that youtube video ?? cause I really doubt that someone who lost 20BTC in the past will still lose 50 BTC after that , he should had learnt the lesson

obviously the best way to store your bitcoins is with offline wallets , paper wallets should do fine
but even with online wallet it's not easy to hack bitcoins , I have been using online wallets for like 3 years and still haven't had a single problem
so as long as your computer is clean and you aren't clicking shady links your wallet should be fine

but still curious to see that youtube video

You should be surprised by the amount of laziness of the people, some people never learn and the fact that something did not happen to you does not mean that it cannot happen to other people, maybe you are a lot better avoiding the scammers but there are some people that are extremely gullible and click in every link then they insert their private key in a hacked site and then they lose their money.

I suggest that you put Bitcoin separately in different wallets. Do not put all bitcoin in a single wallet. Protect your private key, do not let anyone have a chance to know your private key. I suggest you can use the offline wallet.

When the exchanges get hacked I think no one can secure his bitcoin under the situation but one can protect his asset by just having more than one wallet. All I know is that almost all Bitcoin wallets depend on core in one way or the other and all of them can be back doored or hacked. The holder must not enter his information anywhere and he must keep his own operating system secure.

you can protect yourself from hackers by using an Offline Trusted wallet, and keep all your passwords and keys safe, don't enter to the untrusted Websites or click on any link you find, Don't trust anyone and be careful.

maybe anyone who know about his money or his bitcoin, if you secret on all of your money, you have a less chance of some attackers because if they know it, they must be obsessed on what you have.

the most thing that we can do to protect from being hack is to place the private keys to save place and never tell to other people how much bitcoin we have. now the bitcoin price increase too high and if we are not careful then it will attract the hacker to steal our bitcoin so we need to take attention of our bitcoin. usually, the simple way can save our bitcoin from the attacker and sometimes we forget about this and makes our bitcoin are stolen. but if we follow the guide about how to save our bitcoin then our bitcoin will be safe.
