I think that online e-wallets are safe by security keys and using third-party codes. On the erc20 platform and the blockchain of btc is safe, I have never seen a successful hack on the foundation of erc20 or btc. But always make sure you keep your computer safe. It can be compromised by external factors
indeed for third-party online wallet storage is safe from hacking but I think maybe it should be more vigilant, and why not use an offline wallet like nano ledger or trezzor which has a higher potential to avoid hacking and has been proven

1. Offline Mode
The offline mode of securing bitcoins is called cold storage.
2. Backup
Backup your entire bitcoin wallet early and often.
3. Software
Keep your software up to date. A wallet running on non-updated bitcoin software can be a soft target for hackers.
4. Encryption
Encryption adds a layer of security to a particular folder, file, or message as it can only be unlocked by someone who knows the right key to it.

I am a cryptocurrency fighter who still studies a lot in crypto currency. I have no special way to protect my crypto coins. I am only careful to secure my digital wallet account. I did not forget to control the security of my digital wallet and change passwords regularly. I also ensure that my digital account information is not connected to someone else's e-mail account because it is at risk of hacking. That is a bit of my strategy.

if we want to protect the coins or crypto that we have it depends on how we can store and protect our private keys. do not centralize the balance in one trade and avoid as far as possible our computers to surf unnecessary things if the computer has a private key from your crypto assets, so that the furthest from malware and viruses that damage the system.

I think choosing wallet is of of the most important steps. You should choose popular wallet that let you control private keys, 2 factor authentication.

There is a better more secure way to save your crypto currencies or your bitcoins, save it in a cold wallet. The cold wallet is far better than other wallets most especially the hot wallets. That is the reason coincheck was hacked, they are saving their crypto currencies in a hot wallet. So better keep your crypto investments in a cold wallet.

The very first step to protect your crypto is to store them in hardware wallets, paper wallets, or cold storages.

Keep these tips in mind as well:

  • Keep your information private and avoid public WiFi networks that are an easy target for hackers.
  • Always use strong passwords and add 2-factor authentication for all of your accounts.
  • Store your cryptocurrency on multiple wallets.
  • Always use a password manager, so you don’t use an old password.
  • Do not post your email address, home address, or phone number on social media.
  • Keep your antivirus up-to-date to avoid downloading malware.
  • Don’t forget to backup your wallet periodically.
  • For cold storage wallets and backup wallets recovery seed at home, keep them in a fireproof safe.  



I am not sure if having multiple wallets is gonna  be a good practice though. I mean you could just have two wallets, one for your hodlings and another one for your tradings. Unless you're like a crypto businessmen then I think it is quite applicable, just don't put it in online wallets wherein private keys aren't handled by you and don't hold your coins inside of an exchange, people should already know that but I am still hearing a lot from people losing a lot of their coins due to hacks in the exchanges they're trading at. I've read in Reddit that people recommended Keeper as their password manager in anything though.
having multiples wallets is a good practice only if you capable of mantaining it. Even hardware wallet nowadays always randomly change the address of your wallet right? that is to avoid someone lurking on your wallet and if you have multiples wallets the chance you get hacked and lose all your money will be reduced.
at least with a multiple wallet, if one of the wallets is hit by a hacker, then not all of our assets are lost, and we still have assets scattered in other wallets, this can reduce the risk of theft. therefore wallet security is the most important thing before we enter this business

The simple way I used to secure my digital assets from been hacked or stolen is buy keeping my wallet safe on the Blockchain and keep the public and private keys on hardcover papers notebook, which will be out of reach except myself. Although sometimes I keep them on my hardware wallet for safety purposes. Staying safe should be the Paramount responsibility of every bitcoiner globally.

I prefer to keep my digital coins in my wallet rather than exchanges. Because in my wallet, I have access to the password and other things that will keep it safe. The exchange management is beyond my control and anything can happen when I keep my coin there.

All you need to do is to take a few basic security precautions. If 2FA is enabled and the private key is properly backed up, then the chances of your coins getting stolen or lost is close to zero. If you still want to be sure about the safety of your coins, then hardware wallets are available from $100 to $300, depending on the specifications.

Nha, online wallets are prone to any hacking events, it is better to secured our coins in offline wallet. But anyway, it is all about how we manage our wallets. Using different PC's or laptop could lead into something we don't want to happen and indeed, it happens to a lot of holders.
It could be the best to have our own PC's and don't let others touches it.

Everyone knows which wallet is more save than one and where dey could store their coin that will not have bad effect of been hack or stolen which I think will not be a good question to be asking here as many hacker are out there trying to study how and ways to could use to break security of wallet and if you are telling a story of ways you used to keep your coins here then you are giving a way to penetrate the system for hacker.

So I will advice you to just be cautions of what you type here or say.
