All the same, cash and money that are stored in the folder is much more reliable than cryptocurrency. the same Euro dollar and other currencies do not have such drastic price changes. therefore, it is still stable and safe to keep money in the Bank. but not far from the time when the cryptocurrency will replace cash.
Banks are kind of the worst place for anyone to put money in because they can run away with whatever you give them.

It surprises me that after so much hacks and security alerts - people still don`t know safety features of crypto yet..
Still every day I hear personal accounts hacked due to no 2FA activated and such childish mistakes..
There should be IQ and age control in crypto, to filter such careless people, who break the prestige of crypto due to their carelessness.

I understand what you're saying but that's discrimination (mentalism). You just can't do that. Some other means of protection should be implemented.

Money in Bank safe  but when you look at the capitalization of these banks and there debt profile, you will realize that things are not the way they seem.  In short, this is an investment game.

Your money is fully secured in bank but you have limitations of profit as mostly all banks gives a fixed return on your investment but in crypto, you can get unlimited and unexpected profits if your selection of coin is correct and you have long horizon. Roll Eyes

It depends on what you mean by the word 'safer'. Safer in the sense that you ain't going to lose money or what? cos I have heard of cases where bank close up and people who has their money in the banks are at a loss of their funds. People might still consider it safer though cos most of these cases are rare as compared to the cries of scam or trade loses that we hear about in the crypto market.

Buy, sell and store real cryptocurrencies
People prefer to deposit money in a bank account than, say, stuff it in a mattress. But it's to my mind.

The crypto industry is a very risky place to invest, but at the same time it is one of the most profitable. Everyone decides for himself whether there is a risk of the game.

Tim Draper: More Secure in Bitcoin Than the Money Sitting in Wells Fargo

Venture capitalist Tim Draper is bullish on Bitcoin and believes it will reach $250,000 in the next four years.

During a debate hosted by Intelligence Squared and the Adam Smith Society, Tim Draper was asked how Bitcoin compared with his previous tech investments in Hotmail, Skype, and Tesla. He replied bullishly, saying, “Bitcoin will be bigger than all three combined.” However, Draper didn’t leave it at that — he thinks it will be bigger than the iron age, the Renaissance, and the internet and says that the nascent technology will affect the entire world in a faster and more prevalent way than ever imagined.

The Debate: “Bitcoin is more than a bubble and here to stay.”
Backed up by Patrick Byrne (CEO of overstock), Draper took on Financial Times journalist, Gillian Tett, and Professor of Law, Eric Posner, both of whom argued that Bitcoin is indeed a bubble and strongly contested Draper’s claims. Posner and Tett called into question the “strengths” of Bitcoin, arguing that they could be regarded as weaknesses. Posner suggested that the pseudonymization of identity enabled by the technology makes Bitcoin transactions the perfect vehicle for sophisticated criminal transactions. Tett focused on the risk involved with trusting computers with finance as they can be hacked, are prone to faults, and that Bitcoin is a “terrible store of value.”

These arguments won’t be anything new to anyone who has studied the space, and the rebuttals of Draper and Byrne won’t come as a surprise either. The pair acknowledged that Bitcoin was imperfect and drew attention to the fact the technology was designed to be open source so that unforeseen problems can be managed by the community. Byrne also pointed out that although Bitcoin has been “hacked at” more than anything in history, but unlike banks, it has yet to be defeated.

Draper was more brazen in his responses and implored the crowd to use fiat if they were looking to facilitate their own criminal activity as many Bitcoin criminals get caught. The venture capitalist responded to Tett’s admission that she invests in several different fiat currencies by saying, “I’m so much more secure in my Bitcoin than I am in the money that’s sitting there in Wells Fargo.”

Who is right?
The short answer is it’s far too early to tell, but it is good to see the subject being discussed in this manner. Before the debate, Gillian Tett remarked that if both sides of an argument aren’t heard in the same room, on the same day, then the conversations can “go past one another.” It’s probably safe to say she’s right here because, although there is no shortage of media on either side of the argument, real debate on the subject can be difficult to find.

If crypto is going to head down the road Draper expects, its advocates need to be able to argue their case outside of the crypto community, and debate should be welcome as it not only gives both sides the ability to speak but also the ability to listen.

Draper’s comments are to be expected
As crypto enthusiasts, it’s easy to agree when figures like Draper sing the praises of Bitcoin, but we shouldn’t let confirmation bias get in the way of the issues. Draper is a successful investor, and he hasn’t arrived there without making mistakes. He could be wholly right, wrong, or somewhere in between — the latter is most likely. Draper allegedly owns 30,000 BTC, so he has a vested interest in Bitcoin’s success. That does not mean he is wrong, but it does mean his comments should be taken with a pinch of salt. Well-reasoned arguments are far more convincing than hype and chest beating because they allow people to make up their own minds.

The emergence of DLT might eclipse the impact of other innovations, but for now, the emphasis is not on critics to prove the crypto community wrong. It’s up to those who champion DLT to convince the world they’re right.

When it comes to the safety of the money of course bank is one of the safest. Though if you want your money to double or triple or even more you can put/invest it in crypto but no assurance. May in future as they are improving it more and more buy regulating it but this will soon replace banks. I think Liven is a great example for the context, they are an established business and want their own crypto now just be in the game. I think this is a new wave of projects that are promising and interesting.
I think my money is much safer in the bank than crypto because in there's a risk when i pit my money in crypto. I prefer in tha bank to put my money because it never lose except when there's someone using your atm card. I think it better to invest to crypto only even there's a risk to take, but if your invest crypto have potential then you feel safe about it. I recommend to invest in crypto then put your money in the bank, surely you will get profit then your money is safe.

I think that is very important to determinate what do you want to do with your money, in Crypto the risk of falling is huge. but the value up is also very great. meaning that if I put money in Crypto, the opportunity to earn profits is huge, but the risk of losing is also great. while at the Bank, no one expected the value would rise, bank is the best option - very low rewards and very low risk.

I think that all the same in a bank they are safer but to consider that in a bank my money grows slowly and in a crypto you can just keep money and one morning to wake up and you already have twice as much so that here is a difficult question!

in terms of profit more attention in crypto, but also full of considerable risk. security may be safer in the bank. we may also know often happens crimes committed hacker account. maybe that's a problem too.

From a security perspective, I think that putting money into banks is more secure. From a profit perspective, I think that investing in cryptocurrencies is more profitable.

If Meu safer to save the bank in the bank than in the cryptocurrenny because of the bank does not change anything and in the cryptocurrenny price changes and we are likely to get a loss in the end

To me no where is safe. No matter where my money is , it's not safe. There is a possibility to loose it anywhere it is. But I can't put all my money on cryptocurrency due to its high volatility

of course yes. There are extraordinary state in Turkey. The banks are not safe enough. I keep my money in the crypto.
It depends on what kind of wallet where the money is kept. Also,for the bank because if you chose small banks and not the bank that runs for a very long time,there is a possibility that the bank will end up bankruptcy because of few investors in it.  Therefore,the management has to be very strategic in terms of convincing ang given platforms for tge bank. On the other hand,yeah I feel safe in crypto because I don't pay any taxes and at the same time I can check it on my own. Unlike banks,I have to go there and check passbooks.


You're very correct, it's the kind of wallet he's using that determines if his crypto is safe or not, not forgetting the type of secret passwords he's using, and how secured his account is through the use of accounts Authenticators.
