that's what I've ever felt so I've lost the bitcoin value because of my neglect of not using strict security so make sure you must have a strict security code to avoid hacking. our enemy is just a hacker!!!!

I still using online wallet like LUNO, I sill believe that this wallet is useful as long as my balance no more thatn 0.05, because I use it to depo or withdraw from or to gambling sites, but maybe If someday I will get a lot amount I will use offline wallet as described above

I think online wallet is the best to keep your bitcoins safe and it is not the only way to keep your bitcoins. It is base on you if youre sharing your pass to other peeson you do not trust well. And it is dangerous to your earnings.

Bitcoin wallets store keep the private keys you need to access a Bitcoin address. After that, i think the best way to keep bitcoin is to have  Physical Coins.

I think any of the suggestions above is better than holding the coins in exchange. I have lost thousands of bitcoins in early stage exchange hacks. And we know that even recently some of the exchanges got hacked. That's because some of them are not built by experts in the field.

Paper or Hardware Wallet. We use the Ledger Nano S at the moment.

Bitcoin has grown considerably in popularity over the past several months, with prices almost tripling and more and more cryptocurrency followers joining the field. As this has taken place, so too have the number of publicized hacking events increased as well. With more money being invested in digital currencies now than ever before, and particularly given that many investors are new to the system and may not know how to keep their investments secure, hackers are coming up with ingenious ways of stealing funds. Some of the most prominent thefts have been those that have taken place in plain sight: a recent hack rerouted tokens bound for one wallet for another. The victims watched as their tokens were stolen away from them, with nothing they could do about it. Here are a few ways to store your Bitcoins that may be safer than others.

Desktop Wallet
A desktop wallet offers a number of advantages over an online wallet. While online wallets are easily accessed from anywhere in the world, they are also more vulnerable to potential hacking. Desktop wallets, on the other hand, are accessed only via your private computer, with personal security keys stored just on that machine. Thus, exposure of your security key online is reduced. Nonetheless, desktop wallets are still susceptible to hacks if your machine gets infected with malware designed to root out keys and steal Bitcoins.

Hardware Wallet
More secure than a desktop wallet is a hardware wallet. These wallets are bits of hardware, external devices like USB sticks which you can carry around on your person. An added benefit of a hardware wallet is the complete anonymity with which you can transact. There is no personal information linked to the hardware, so no identifying data which could be leaked. Hardware wallets are resilient to malware, and if you happen to lose the wallet you'll be able to recover the funds using a seed phrase.

Paper Wallet
A paper wallet is also a relatively safe way of storing Bitcoin, although it requires a bit more advanced understanding of how digital currencies work. Generate a paper wallet online using any number of dedicated websites, or generate the wallet offline for even greater security. Paper wallets are stored easily because they don't take up a great deal of space, and they also offer true anonymity: they are simply a Bitcoin seed written in some way on a piece of paper.

Physical Coins
Services are cropping up which allow Bitcoin investors to buy physical Bitcoins. The coin you purchase will have a tamper-proof sticker covering a predetermined amount of Bitcoin. In order to purchase the physical coin, you may need to pay a slight premium over the value of the Bitcoin that you're buying, owing to the cost of the manufacture and shipment of the coin itself.

Recently, as far as I know, it seems the hackers just can access the cookie and saved username/password or account same data in all website to rob Bitcoin of Bitcoin user use wallet online. I do not know any case about the Bitcoin user use Bitcoin desktop wallet and own private key. However, why do you not turn on 2FA to security your Bitcoin wallet account?

I hold my bitcoins in Ledger wallet and in my opinion it is one of the safest way to keep your bitcoins.

but nevertheless very often there is information that hack Bitcoin wallets and users lose their coins. I think that after all, there is some detail about which no one talks and it is dangerous for many.

That is a good online wallet and many users are choosing that wallet in their many tokens or coins. Hmm I'd liked to ask, have this kind of disaster ever happened to you? The published private key thing? I mean who would ever want that, it is OK to post it if your the manager or something to make the tokens legit and you can that the token to the wallet but, if it was yours and that wallet have a lot of tokens that have potential good profits in it then you're screwed.

Safest way to keep bitcoins is to choose very good wallet like https://www.myetherwallet.com/ or other similar.

NEVER
