If you have larger number of btc you should keep in hardware wallet. Ledger nano.

If you are daily trader or frequent trader then you must go to safe hot wallets like coinbase . Coinbase i recommended

First of all,when we already have bitcoin,we have to be very vigilant. We should not easily trust on sites we are not sure of,site developers might be the hackers. Changing of password can also be helpful to help stop hacking of accounts. Cold storage is also adviseable.

I really don,t have more knowledge about this, but I think the cold storage is the best and safe.

So scary thing. We don't want to be hacked by someone. We can prevent or protect our account from hacking. We have to be wiser everytime we open our account to other devices or other computer. We have to be more careful.

First of all, recognize the person that you trust him if you can use it to avoid hacking the account and then TRADING possible to hack your BITCOIN or you may mistakenly submit your private key

Well more importantly don't you ever connect into a FREE WIFI on some areas, it is possible that it is a fake WIFI that is set by some hackers to steal all of your information on your device. And he is a youtuber right? Maybe he put his bitcoin wallet address on his/her page, giving the hackers a big chance to attack his/her wallet by using some any kind of brute force attacks. So also don't you ever put your bitcoin wallet address on some sites especially at the social media sites.

5 things you should do:

1. Do not share your id to anyone
2. change your password once every 1 month
3.Use metamask if you want to open mew
4. avoid the use of wifi outside the place because the virus can enter from there
5. Laptop, Pc, and smartphone use passwords to prevent unwanted things from the nearest person or from outsiders

I hope this is useful for you because it works for me

The only thing you have to do is keep your private keys. Keep it safe for other people. And one of the reasons is that our computer viruses are reading the data and it is copied.

You should store your Bitcoin in an offline wallet. It is not safe when storing it in exchange wallet. There are too many dangerous hackers now.

There are generally some mistakes we make with our wallet:
1. Always use private browsing.
2. Do not login your wallet when using public network or WiFi.
3. Do not save your important data on desktop or c drive.
4. Do not send private key through social networking site.
If you follow these points you will never loose coins.

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

here is the link https://youtu.be/86rNF44Kkbk

For you to protect your self from being hacked of your bitcoin, never trust anyone of you private keys, your wallet addresses, your emails and passwords. Because we may never know the person we trust are the person that would betray us. ans never ever always log in your sccounts on snonymous websites, sometimes these are forms of hackers that they do in order to get more of what are intended for other peoples possession.

If you want to be safe from hackers of bitcoin then you should provide yourself an offline wallet and that will give you a good assurance that you are safe for long term safeness of your bitcoin because right now,as the price of bitcoin is keep going up, the hackers are getting more attractive to bitcoin and that is the cause of having more proneness for getting hacked.

The easiest way to be protected from being hack of bitcoin is to search more legit sites of investing your money.
Because not all investing sites and mining sites are true. Some are created for hacking bitcoin wallets, just like exchangers.
Technology is now very upgrading, we cannot say what technology can do in our daily lives.

Scammers and hackers are everywhere; they will invade your account just to get money.
To secure yourself free from any hackers you should always work and think smart for every detail that you will give.
It’s better to you keep private about some information’s about your bitcoin wallet.
Do not login from any mining sites or any free earning application without knowing some details about it.
You should always confirm that the sites/application that you are entering is a legit and has a good feedback; with this you can secure yourself from hackers.

Offline wallet is the best wallet to use while saving a big amount of money. If you are a long term investor and don't transfer your bitcoins very frequently, then go for an offline wallet like Electrum. Cold storage like Trezor or Ledger Nano S is even better and very safe. But these are not available freely so you will have to buy such wallets.

Also don't click on any outside link sent by anyone. Check the URL twice before you enter your login details for any online wallet. Last but not the least, use a good internet security software in your pc/laptop. Not a fake copy, instead buy one and use original.

Use 2rf codes. It is designed to send you numerous number of codes that can be used before accessing your account. In that way your account can only be accessed by you.

Never be a victim of any tricks used by hackers. Example of this is social engineering where they tend to make you friend with them and got to make you trust them to the extent that you will gave them information regarding your account without even thinking twice. Phishing is also one culprit if you seems to be too careless on the site you're in because looks can always be deceiving. So always be vigilant and trust no one.
