Wow thats a nightmare. Imagine if you had millions in BTC that you were planning to put into a savings account in a bank account. Your life would be ruined. I myself am paranoid about wallet security, because when its gone, its gone forever. I usually use xapo.com, because first of all it takes 24 hours to process a withdrawal from your vault, so I could cancel it if it was unauthorized and change my password and everything. Second, the xapo.com vault is insured so if anything were to happen to it they would pay me back my bitcoin (Less than an annual percentage fee for insurance), and third, it keeps me from wasting money on gambling or little things like that Wink
If it takes 24 hours to pay, might as well not do it at all. I do keep less than 0.1 in my hot wallet on blockchain.info, as that loss wouldn't hurt me THAT much, and I need some funds for quick access like for bipolarbobs deals  Grin

You need to learn how to relax your body and mind as you prepare it for sleep each night. I'd recommend a brisk 15 minute walk in the fresh air an hour before you are scheduled to retire to bed, afterwhich a moderately warm beverage of cocoa.

"it's over" is really crazy!! looks like someone wants to play a game with you. But nothings to worry about it. It is really not easy to hack if you keep your wallet with proper security.

Bitcoins and the thought of losing them must be on your mind a lot if you are having nightmares about being hacked and losing them. I am sure if you have done research and are sure you know what you are doing is safe you will be OK and not have your nightmares become a reality Smiley

yesterday I read some stories about wallet theft went to sleep as usual..

I was driving my car in dark on an highway, and my mobile vibrates, and I think it was someone sending a message but it's a notification from wallet..I pull my car over service lane and review the transactions... all my bitcoins gone with a small message in block chain "it's over"...

I drive really rash and insane to hurry home to see what happened, and I hit my vehicle on something... at this point I screamed and woke up..

my dad came to me and asked what happened.. I felt silly to tell that I screamed for bitcoin hack in dream.. instead I said I had some ghost nightmare since I played skyrim late night for sometime..

I went back to sleep, it was totally silent midnight, I checked my wallet balance and nothing happened, it was safe and calm like the soft drizzling night...

PEACE.... GOD PROTECT MY WALLET...
the prayer is all that I could do...

Security is most important thing need in Bitcoin and your case seem little bit excessive.

...anyone using Windows deserves all their coins to be stolen. Wink
Windows is not less secure than any operating system out there.

And a chain is only as strong as its weakest link  Cheesy

Use proper secure cold storage, sleep well knowing your money is more secure than any other form of protection in the known universe.

if il be like you  i just change my bitcoin to real money .
What's "real money"?
Smiley ^
I've heard of government issued money, never real money.
Exactly. Government issued money =/= real money.
As for OP, yeah nightmares can sometimes be bad. I wouldn't carry too much BTC on my phone though, it's more vulnerable than your computer. Also keep the main stash in cold storage always.

this will make things even worse, as his money will get stolen every day, offline wallet is your friend, maybe you can just use one computer dedicated to your btc client, and installing/browsing nothing there

Exactly. I will take "volatility" over a steady decline of my wealth.

Trusting in imaginary gods to protect you is as useful as wishing on a lucky star. It's nice to be hopeful but don't delude yourself. Take responsibility for your own protection. http://whywontgodhealamputees.com

What does your link or post have to do with the topic? I am not a religious person but this isn't the forum for arguing about religion.
