Recently I introduced Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to my friends and family,they liked the concept but they asked me a question that I wasn't able to answer.Is Bitcoin really secure?What if a hacker was able to hack Bitcoin system/blockchain?Who manages Bitcoin security and what are the security measures taken to avoid hackers being able to steal Bitcoins?Why Bitcoin is not blocked for those who use it illegally by buying/selling in the deepweb market?What if governements ban Bitcoin because of these people?
I really appreciate if you guys give me some answers
Answer is a relative: on the part of self, a real care is needed in keeping one's bitcoin wallet details safe; properly documented. Another means is by using a very safe and recommended bitcoin wallet also and ensuring one use their 2nd factor authentication. Now the other aspect of security has to do with the blockchain system; accountability with respect to the system itself having a means of securing against theft in the system. It's technology and can be worked on - I mean a real anti-theft mechanism within the blockchain system. This I believe will help answer those who are really really pessimistic.
