I prefer the bank to save money even if they can control our money but they can keep it safe and I think the bank definitely has a strong protection to secure the money of its customers. Not like when saving money on the wallet crypto that has a lot of clone or phising site and easy to hack.

I think it's safer if you keep your money in the bank, just profit from very few banks with little risk.
if you want to look for profits that put your money into the crypto currency, but the level of risk is also quite high.

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.

Making a contribution to the crypto is more profitable than to a bank, that's for sure. As for security, I think in the bank, it's safer. In the crypto at any time can find vulnerability and steal all your coins.

I still think Banks are safer, Banks are more central, so assets are protected.
However, most cryptocurrency is decentralized, so when your assets are stolen, you can't handle it.

No matter what people think is the cryptocurrency market, I don't think it is the best choice to store all the property here. Here is the financial investment market. Every day we have to face losses or profits!

It is better to keep your money in something solid, like gold, some cryptography away from the banks  Wink

Buy, sell and store real cryptocurrencies
At the moment, I think banks are safer than cryptocurrencies, but the bad thing is that they will depreciate, so I think you can invest, but don't put too long, which is not good for your financial security.

Cryptocurrency is unstable but safer then bank because if you hold good coins you can multiply your money more then banks.
It's the question of safety here not about the doubling or tripling of the money. I think still a lot of people doubt about the safety of the crypto that's the reason why still they are preferring bank for the deposition of money and for the transactions. Still, more time required for them to get confidence about crypto especially about the safety of their money.

Those are two very different things. Your money isn't safe anywhere because it can be stolen either way or it can lose value because of lots of factors.I get that point of view that putting it in a bank is safer but nothing is 100% safe. On the other hand investing in crypto gets you more profit but the risk is greater. It's all natural. Your money is only safe when you invest it in something that doesn't lose value, like gold or diamonds. Even investing it in real estate is questionable because it can lose value if that market dips.

Investing your money in cryptocurrencies, you can lose everything, but there is a chance to multiply your investments by 4-5 times, so we'll see who will stay in this world in banks

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.

I think your money is much secure when you place it in the bank because it is hard to get the information of it a like crypto it can be done by phishing to know the info or other way that hackers can. It is much safer to place your money in the bank because it is secured all the time that no one can intrude into your money but it less profitable compare if you put it in crypto. They are both contrast with each other but at the end of the day it is based on your own perception on what is safer and secure. 

In my view Storage of your money in cryptocurrencies is more secure than holding your money in banks. Banks can do whatever when the money is in their hands. Right now the solutions for saving your crypto are building by various developers. This is the time like where we used to send mail in the bulky desktop and connecting ISP and modem. Until you keep your private keys from the internet, you are safe from being theft or hack of your money. Right now cryptocurrencies are solving bigger problems than security. Taking out control from the centralized authorities and distributing the power to the people all over the world. The people who are not able to access the financial services till now, they will be able to access the services conveniently within their hands from anywhere in the world.

It is safer to store money in the bank than in the crypto currency. The bank risks losing them.

Even banks has their own share of failure when it comes to security though compared to crypto it is far more safer from hackers and scammers. However, when it comes to profitability banks are almost zero percentage compare to crypto earnings and this is the risk one has to take in order to achieve financial freedom.

Having your money in the bank provides a more secure option. That is why you are getting big fees when using banks as they provide extra protection. On crypto, on the other hand, you are responsible with your crypto. That's why it is decentralized.

I don't think it's worth comparing these things.Everywhere there are big risks of losing all your money.That's only in the Bank when you can not increase your money as in the crypto-currency world!
