Well your wallet is where you keep your coin safe and it always important to protect it
One of the best way is to protect your private key never give it out to any one even if it's your mentor that is very important
This is for new guys like me

Of course, because the private key is very important and I think everyone will save it in their own way which they think is safe to do and I don't think anyone wants to share their private key with others, even though it's his own best friend and maybe some of them tell his friend for certain reasons.

I now have hardware wallet ledger nano s for more than 1 year, i never had problem with it. I think is more safe and secure to have a hardware wallet, because even on linux i see some kind of viruses.

It is certainly safe , but if a person performs a bounty then I do not think that it will be profitable to buy a wallet , and even people with a Deposit of up to$1000

Of course, no one's gonna buy a hardware wallet to keep a few kopecks on. I'd like to buy such a hardware wallet too, but for now it doesn't make sense.

in my opinion, to use the private key you should also have other alternatives such as the mnemonic phrase and use it to move

No matter what type of the wallets, better store the key offline and protect with password. I think it can be stored online, but must be encrypted first with strong combination.

Always save and secure the private key wallet that we use to store cryptocurrency assets. because if someone else is lost or stolen then we will lose all assets owned. This private key is like our life that we must guard completely so we don't lose it.

If you are going to use a hardware wallet, keep the private key in a place that nobody knows. It will be even safer to use another computer for coins. Or, using Ledger and trezor type hardware wallets will provide the best security.

But of course, you can give it to anyone in your family that you can trust, because these coins are considered investment someone has to take over it in case something unexpected happen, you can do a will for it and entrusted it to all your inheritors there are so many instances that coins are lost because there are no inheritors..

Well in the crypto world there are lots of hackers or people who lurk our wallets if we are not careful and keep our wallet keys safely, sometimes a lot of phishing is circulating so don't click on the link that enters our email, for example from airdrop and so on

I am very aware of that, therefore I don't give it to anyone, I always try to maintain privacy because even though I only have cheap coins but I will save it because maybe one day the coin will be able to have a high price therefore I am not want to lose it

The private key is best stored on paper in the format of the QR code, in which case it can be easily read and accessed your wallet.
I have long printed all my private keys in several copies on paper and keep in a safe.

Private key is like the the life to your funds. If you lose it, then all your funds will be gone. There is no remedy. The best way I protect my Private key is by writing it out in different save locations , incase I lose my device. I use it as a backup, in case my device gets tampered with.

private key really shouldn't be anyone else who knows it so we really have to take care of our private key very carefully but still that does not guarantee that our wallet will not be hacked because if the computer is hacked then our data can be retrieved so that in addition to securing the key Personally we also have to pay attention in choosing a wallet.

and in my opinion the hardware wallet is the safest.

Just use hard ware wallet to keep all of your crypto safe.
But if you couldn't afford it then make sure that you would secure it in any flash drive a new one would do to know that it is free from virus or any threat.

More like crypto 101. Your Passphrase, mnemonics and private keys are all yours and on no account should you also give it to anyone not even closed friends. Learn this and be safe from a future hack

I don't trust to the different electronic keystores like ledger, because there are a lot of cases when this wallets was sold with a special programme like keylogger which stole the key. I prefer to write my private keys on the paper.

Well, are there any sources?
I've never heard about "infected" hardware-wallets and isolating your private-key from the internet will only provide you full security if you're also signing your transactions offline - otherwise your private-key could also easily get stolen by a malware-infection.

PS: Just get your hardware-wallet from the manufacturer if you don't want to buy a used one (which should also be totally fine as long as you're doing a facory-reset).

the best way to safety your private key and even your json file is stored it on your hardware device, like usb..

in this case I think the best way is for those of you who have to secure the file in a safe place from the things that make it worse and when you want to access your wallet then you must be careful
