Simple.

Don't risk more than you're willing to lose.

Hello All,

I've been trading BTC for some time now but I never keep much at any given time on any of the exchanges... maybe a few hundred bucks here and there. I've heard about "whale" traders, but I wonder how do they keep their assets safe? Are there really people who trade online with tens of thousands (or more?) in their exchange accounts? Seems pretty risky, in the case that one of the sites gets hacked, or the exchange rolls up.

Is there something I'm missing...? Like, does anyone know of a method to trade with assets that are held in a secure, remote wallet? Or is it that 95% of BTC traders are really just messing around, trying to stretch 100 dollars?
