What is the safest way to keep bitcoins.

Taken dangers like hacking, losing in to account!

In my case, I think my bitcoins are secured.on my e-wallet. I am using an app for mobile where I am storing my Bitcoin. I think it is secured because it needs an account to log in and that account is connected to.my email address which I assured to be secured. also, there's an additional pin code to add more security. Just don't let anyone to know your private keys.

The safest way to store your bitcoins is in a paper wallet or hardware wallet. There are risks in there as well. Paper wallet may degrade or damaged. You may lose your paper wallet and hardware wallet. These wallet eliminate the risk of hacking.

according to me, whether or not safe storage depends on us. because the security of a bitcoin so as not to steal the hacker is in our hands. if we use the existing account on your wallet with indiscriminate hacker may be easier to steal it.

"Does someone know if hackers can get a computer getting a public address with bitadress.org for example and testing it to see if the account is at 0 on blockchain.info and then try another adress, etc... until one is not a 0 credit and then steal the money since he/she got already the private key associated ? A hacker could test millions/billons of addresses like this and once in a while get an address with an account not at 0, is that correct ? I am very concern about the security of my bitcoins and want to do a paper wallet after generating an address from a new computer offline, but this potential hacking method is a big concern to me. Does someone has already being able to get one existing account not empty using this approach? Anyone knows if it has already been done over the last 9 years ?"

The answer I received is the following :

There were some very dumb people that did not generate their addresses correctly. There was also some software with bugs that did not generate addresses correctly. The bitcoins that were stored in those addresses that were not generated correctly resided in too small of a search space, and hackers were able to steal some. All addresses that are generated correctly have been secure since the beginning of bitcoin in 2009 and will remain secure for as long as our solar system continues to exist.

So then my question is now :

Does anyone know how to generate CORRECTLY a Bitcoin address ?

We need to secure all our accounts and password especially our private key it is very important because that key is the way we can open our myetherwallet. We need to be wiser than the hacker so that they can't easily get our own money. We need to be aware in everything so that our money will not gone.

most safe way for keep bitcoins just dont click any untrusted email sender , like promotions for get free bitcoin and other promotions.
because their will send scam link for submit your information then their will take ur information and steal your wallet.
use 2FA and verify your email for keep your wallet safe , and never give some one your personal information like email , user name , password etc.
i think we use one same password for all account , then their will easy access one password for other account like email , bitcoin wallet and other account.

The safest way is to never download things on the internet somebody could easily infect it with a wallet stealer. It just searches your hole computer for addresses and files. If it has founded some files it will upload it to the hacker. So i suggest also to check your urls many users have already been scammed with phishing links to get your coins.

Keeping it into savings I think. Having wallet accounts. I guarantee you that your BTC were safe. Like account on ABRA, Etherwallet, etc.

One of the best way for us bitcoiners to keep our bitcoins is to keep it on our own accounts. Or change it into fiat money then invest again to other projects.

I shop lots of backup copies in the cloud storage.

I expect they are all encrypted ? ^^

Yes, bitcoin is the best with inbuilt encrypted security measurements to keep with you and the bitcoin price and the value will increase more I hope the future of the bitcoin is increasing and now almost all the people are having the worthy price and the high demand.

I am very sure bitcoin is very safe to keep for the long time and the price of the bitcoin will increase with the time I know the value of the bitcoin is helping a lot of the people and the reason is why all the people are buying the bitcoin

If you want to keep your bitcoin for long term then you should have a safe cold storage wallet that is designed for long term holding because that is the best way that i know that you can use to store a lot of bitcoins. I believe that bitcoin will cost a lot of money in the future and we should not lose the chance by selling or misusing the bitcoin.

Yeah, if you want to sell your Bitcoin, you should to find other options can helps you have money instead of sell your Bitcoin.
But, as long as you know the way to buy back extra Bitcoin with cheap price, I think you can sell Bitcoin as take profits anytime.

Coins.ph is safest to keep my bitcoins safe? because that is my wallet and its easy to take my btc convert to peso bill.

Coins.ph is an exchange right (please correct me if I am wrong)? I would never recommend storing any of your coins in exchange wallets. They can go down at any time, or your coins can get easily stolen by the hackers. Better store them in some online wallet, which gives access to the private keys.

I need to clarify a point which trouble me in term of security.

Sites like these below can generate a public+private key
https://www.bitaddress.org/
https://iancoleman.io/bip39/

Then the site https://blockchain.info allows to verify if the public key is an address not used.

Now does someone know if hackers can get a computer getting a public address and test it to see if the account is at 0 and then try another adress, etc... until one is not a 0 credit and then steal the money since he/she got already the private key associated ?
A hacker could test millions/billons of addresses like this and once in a while get an address with an account not at 0, is that correct ? I am very concern about the security of my bitcoins and want to do a paper wallet after generating an address from a new computer offline, but this potential hacking method is a big concern to me. Does someone has already being able to get one existing account not empty using this approach? Anyone knows if it has already been done over the last 9 years ?

Thanks.
