I can protect my self from being hack of bitcoin just enable your 2 factor authentication from your account. Don't place you private key or password in somewhere someone might see. You should also be careful when you are using browsing in internet because there are some sites that are phishing.
This is a very good topic, the very essence of your account is your private key so if you visit sites that requires private key please think many times before trying to provide your private key because it will be the reason that you can be hacked.
To avoid hacked never use any computer if possible only your computer or laptop use to open Bitcoin and nothing else,avoid phishing site if you open once a site bookmark it when you open again just look at the bookmark,never stored private key in any kind of USB device it will lead you to lose and never exposed your private key to anyone even your wife possible only you knows your private key in security manner.
Bitcoin Core, Electrum,Jaxx and Rippex are some of the most convenient and secure wallets available, these wallets will keep your bitcoins safe and secure as long as you don't leak the private key. safety of your investment should be your priority
You should store your bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies in offline wallets or better yet you should use hardware wallet like TREZOR, etc., to store your cryptos. Never input your private key into a website which you think isn't safe first check whether the website has "https". You must also bookmark the websites or crypto exchanges and must never enter a link sent by anyone.
just avoid the links in your social media accounts that you have a negative instinct on that. just avoid filling your personal info's
dont give it to strangers.
For me, you want to be safe from hackers from bitcoin then you have to give yourself an offline wallet and it will give you a guarantee that you are safe for the security do not length your bitcoin. Bitcoin prices continue to soar up the hackers are interested in bitcoin and that's the cause of having bitcoin more prone to get the hack that is currently monitored. 
I advise you to study all the possible storage options, different types of wallets. Very good Blockchain.info. Also look at the cold wallets, they are famous for their safety.
Choose a convenient way to store and never give out your passwords, logins, etc. I recommend to use cold storage wallets is the most secure option.
Just make sure you don't connect to an unsecured internet connection since hackers really thrive there. They will steal your bitcoins to bits. Make sure you don't carelessly access your online and offline wallets too since you might have incurred a worm in your system and start stealing info from you.
By enabling all the security features then everything will be safe, I use 3 types of wallet ie blocktrail (btc), xapo and blockchain, all 2FA features are there so for the year I use have never had any problems.
Just yesterday I come across one youtuber where he says

Purchase a reliable and trustworthy wallet like Ledger wallet or Trezor. They are used to store your bitcoins and i can assure you that they are safe . Your coins are safed and secured. But be extra careful in choosing wallets, dont buy or use online wallets because they can easily be hacked . Another thing is dont give up your personal information like password because one mistake can cause you your loss of coins. 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.

Firstly, if you want complete protection over your bitcoins then purchase a hard wallet like Trezor or Ledger. They are like small pendrives which allow you to store your bitcoins and many other cryptocurrencies in them.
Refrain from using online wallets or exchange wallets.
If you want to use app based wallets then only download the best reviewed and top downloaded ones. As there's a high chance of a wallet being a scam and would try to steal your information.
Never share your private keys with anyone (not even your wife) and not even with any admin or developers, as they don't require it under any circumstances, unless they're trying to steal from you.

First thing to remember to avoid being a victim of hackers is, don't trust people easily, maybe you gave them some infos about your account or something, and regarding the victims wallet, I think Exodus is a secured wallet, he maybe a victim of phishing sites, to avoid that always check the URL of the page you are visiting, example, if you go in to a certain site and the name is spelled wrong, or the URL is like an IP address ex. 192.168.23.0 or something like that dont continue loging in, and dont give any information specially your user name and password or just your email. You can always check the beginners guide for more information about security. And also lastly if you are going to pay btc it's more secured to use escrow.
Also never reuse password anywhere, I know that it is easier to remember a single password than to remember 20 but when it comes to your bitcoin you cannot risk it you only need to make one mistake once and you will lose all your money that is why it may seem as if we are being paranoid but that is simply not true we are just being cautious. I do not think Bitcoin is coming to an end. I think that Bitcoin will exist for a very long time and many people are making money on it.
Its basic. Just secure you private keys or any password. And for me, be actice and alert before you log in into a particular site especially in your wallets. Furthermore, dont you even trust anyone here in the forum or in any site that they will give you bitcoin but before that you will deposit to them. It was actually a scam.
I do not think Bitcoin is coming to an end. I think that Bitcoin will exist for a very long time and many people are making money on it.
There are many ways like be careful what website are you browsing because it can be a phishing site and if you put your private key there, they will steal your funds. The best way ti protect your funds is to use hardware wallet and in there is no way that the hackers can hack your funds there.
I think you should always change your password or pin code every week to avoid hacking and removing the wallet every time you finish with any transaction. Also, do not share your password to anyone even to your loved ones.
for me to protect your account never trust a person which is always showing you for a link or to go other sites. also always ask from a person you trusted with like your brother,sister or close friend ask for a help everytime you encounter a untrusted links. ask their concern about that links maybe they can give you ideas to secure your account. thankyou..

You just have to be careful in every thing. Don't place you private key or password in somewhere someone might see. Don't trust others even if it's your siblings or friends and specially don't log into something that requires private key. Be careful in everything
