It is the only possible thing when it comes to bitcoin or crypto currency hacking.

Definitely Yes I agree with you mate. Bitcoin is safe to investors. We should be very careful in all your private key. Don't leave anywhere and be sure to log out to make it safer.
In this world there is no such thing safe so Bitcoin is one of them all we need to do is be guided and be guarded. Bitcoin has no such safety net. If your Bitcoins are lost or stolen, there's no intermediary with the power to make you whole. There are two basic ways to hold Bitcoins. You can participate in the Bitcoin network yourself, storing the keys to your Bitcoins in a wallet stored on your hard drive.
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?
As we all know Bitcoin is first cryptocurrency and also the safest because It works on blockchain technology. Bitcoin is safe but we have to focus on other several factors to ensure that our Bitcoins will be safe:
The factors like-
- Store your key in a safe place. So no one can access it
-You should download latest BTC client.
-Also can use a safe wallet for storing your bitcoins.
I think people is safe but the users can be safe if we keep everything necessary safe which is our private key and password I feel if we do then we are safe and our coins are safe. So keep them safe
Every kind of valuable commodity requires some sort of protection. And so is the case with your hard earned bitcoins. The safety of the bitcoin has been a major concern for so many of us. People are always worried that their coins may not be exposed to the risks of hackers or being stolen by someone. So it is always preferable to use some reputable wallets to store your coins. It is also advised not to share your private key information with anyone, I repeat anyone!! Sometimes the information may get leaked by any chance or by mistake, unknowingly by a friend of yours, so it is always better no to risk your confidential information anyhow. And always try to distribute your holdings into two or more wallets instead of keeping all of it at one single place.
if in my opinion bitcoin is now safer than before gan. but if there is a loss of bitcoin it is not a bitcoin but we are not careful in keeping all the assets we have .
Nothing is “safe” when it comes to Bitcoins or any other Cryptocurrency for that matter.
The price of Cryptocurrencies are driven on market speculations, and trading demands. One must have an appetite for risk taking when it comes to investing in Cryptocurrencies.
If you are looking to invest into it, my suggestion would be only invest the amount that you won't make you feel bad in case you lose it.

No it's not.
In fact, safe investments are almost impossible to come across. All types of investments have an upside and a downside. That means there is always a certain level of risk involved. There is the possibility of losing money, no matter how minimal.
That being said. In terms of risk, Bitcoin is far from safe. It is an investment of high risk. This is largely due to the volatility of its price and the absence of exact value.
With high volatility, there is the possibility of a big drop or a big rise in prices. Given that Bitcoin relies on the simply economics of supply and demand to support its prices, the same simple economics could be it's undoing. If everybody starts selling, you will lose money. If there is a strong interest, you will make money. But a smart investor never focuses on the possible wins. His main focus is possible losses he could incur. Based on the metric of volatility then, Bitcoin is highly unsafe.
When it comes to value, we really aren't sure whether Bitcoin is going to be eventually accepted as a store of value or a currency. In investment, this uncertainty spells doom. For an investment to be considered safe, you have to be able to assess it's value and determine it's price. This is something that Bitcoin investors have been unable to do. Most of them refer to it as digital gold, and that it's price depends on consensus. But this only works when it's accepted universally as that. Before that happens, things could really go either way.
Remember, investing with the hope that something will rise in value is called speculation. Being able to value and determine the risks associated with the instrument in which you are investing your money is what investment entails.
Investors might lose some but they make it back somehow. Speculators get rimmed big time.
So the answer to your question, Bitcoin is not a safe investment. At least not yet.
