Topic: How safe is Bitcoin? ✅ - page 42. (Read 7291 times)
The best way to protect all your cryptocurrencies is to use a stand - alone wallet instead of an exchange and online wallets, as it will protect you from any online attack. And since most people own a private key to the wallet, just keep them safe.
The best way to keep your bitcoins safe, is to use a hardware wallet that have stronger cryptography that web wallets.
If you store your coins in exchanges you are most likely to lose them, because exchanges receive the most cyber attacks.
Even hardware are not completely safe if some damage occurs to the device with forgetting 25 words to restore old wallet with new device but it still best choice along with paper wallet . right now people fear the dump only because many bought bitcoin at high price . If you store your coins in exchanges you are most likely to lose them, because exchanges receive the most cyber attacks.
You are right about this. So what's your take on security?
This thread is a little confusing for me, because bitcoin is already safe, I think what OP mean is how we should secure our Bitcoins. Hardware wallet is the best choice to do that, if you worry about forgetting yoir private key then just simple made a back up of it, problem solve.
Bitcoin is well known for its safety. The biggest dangers are mainly hacker attacks on third party services, through which one accesses his bitcoins. These are above all the various crypto exchanges on which the users have created accounts or the bitcoins stored locally in wallets.
Basically, either the exchange itself is directly attacked, so that data can be stolen there. The biggest known incident was the hacker attack on Mt.Gox about 4 years ago, when a huge hack of Bitcoins was looted. This was also the reason for the decrease of Bitcoins 2014.
Today, the exchanges have improved to prevent such occurrences, because it can come to hacks and the trade is severely restricted or even stopped completely. This often leads to strong price fluctuations, mainly caused by so-called panic sells.
An equally large attack surface offer individual mistakes that can easily be prevented. Individual mistakes are the responsibility of individual users and are often:
- insufficiently secured user accounts due to weak passwords
- Login on a phishing site
- send the private keys to a scammer
If a stranger has once gained access to your own accounts, he can quickly transfer the entire balance to another wallet and due to the anonymity, it is no longer clearly comprehensible. For such a kind of total loss helps therefore only a careful handling with your personal user data.
But as long as you follow to the usual security rules and pay attention to secure passwords, which you should also change from time to time and do not use the same password on many other pages, an accident normally cannot happen.
The high demand and high competition between exchanges has also contributed to the improvement of safety standards.

How make you sure to safe your Bitcoins?
Right now, no one couldreally determine how safe bitcoin is. As time goes by, a lot of people choose to go unto the easy way rather than the hard one that will be enough for them. Bitcoin is run through out the internet and by that, it simply state that some people may choose to go to this easy way which causes them to commit crimes.
It is safe if you are hiding your personal information and you make a password that is rare according to your account, although there are so many hackers that are able to get initial information about your account. In my advise make sure to make secure account and password that is hard to get.
For me the best way save my bitcoin is hardware wallet
In My opinion more secure than a desktop wallet. These wallets are bits of hardware, external devices like USB sticks which you can carry around on your person. An added benefit of a hardware wallet is the complete anonymity with which you can transact. There is no personal information linked to the hardware, so no identifying data which could be leaked.

BITCOIN is to be saved by the 'lightning network' in an attempt to overhaul the cryptocurrency's costly and time-consuming transactions amid a crackdown on the digital token.Bitcoin's price might well have risen over the last year, but over the same period, its value as a means of exchange has rapidly diminished leading many firms to abandon headline-grabbing plans to accept payment in bitcoin (BTC) now that scaling issues have rendered BTC transactions as costly, time-consuming and increasingly rather pointless.
After a number of high-profile firms including Steam and, for a short time, Microsoft withdrew the ability to pay in bitcoin from their platforms, Stripe, a mainstream finance firm used to allow businesses to complete financial transactions online, announced it was also set to scrap support for bitcoin payments.
