You should store your BTC on cold and hardware wallets. That's the best way to protect your funds if you care of it so much. And don't use web wallets for big amounts of BTC.
You have to beware of hackers all the time, your Bitcoin wallet will be cut off from the Internet, out of touch with the Internet, and it will be safe to hide your private keys.
if you have a lot of btc, you should buy a hardware wallet. I think it is affordable since you are rich with that btc. Another suggestion maybe you need to have more than two or three desktop wallet.
I am hearing a lot of users' complaint about having a problem transferring their BTC, Nowadays I am not selling it because I am "Hodling" it for future. But I am a bit of scared now because all this news about the people's BTC being hacked.

Yes, you should be scared on them. When people sees your potential in earning hackers make moves on trying to snatch your money. In order for that you have to be as wise as them. Change your password with numbers, letters and symbols. Make sure that all your account is in private which only you can see it.
Since you have a big investment in bitcoin, you are one of the people endangered in the eye of hackers. Your risk from hackers is highly potential, but you have nothing to worry about; since bitcoin provides all day or 24/7 security to secured your account free from hackers and the government support it by a criminal law that they will do immediate action once it happen. It’s the obligation of the company and the management, as well as the government to secure our investment and entire world free from scammers. It’s also your duty to be carefully enough in every action you made. You should always think smart and wisely once you give your personal information so that you account/investment if free from any bad people.
Yes you should be scared if not prevented!
I would say not really at all. No one's going to know that you individually will have a lot of coins in your wallet. Like people have said on this topic, only way to get your coins is to have your private key. I would be more afraid of phishing scams/emails rather than hacks.
You're going to be fine.
You're going to be fine.

Thats the wrong question to ask. Once your wallet or your BTC get "hacked" its already too late.
The question you should ask yourself (or us) is how you can avoid your wallet getting hacked (Wallets can be "hacked", BTC itself not). The key to this is to use the right wallet.
First, if you have lot of btc's you should spend <100$ for a hardware wallet. With such a HW wallet your coins will stay safe, even if your PC is infected with malware.
A HW wallet is pretty handy in everydays usage. If you only want to keep your coins without spending them in the next few years and are too greedy for a <100$ HW wallet,
you could use a paper wallet. A paper wallet is basically just a private-/public keypair generated and printed completely offline in several copies, saved in different places.
Once you want to spend your coins you can easily just import the private key into a wallet of your choice (Your PC will have to be free of malware for this not leading to a loss of your funds).
The only way for you to lost your BTC is by phishing scams or the hackers stole your private key.
What kind of wallet do you use?
Web-based wallets are tend to be insecure due to how the private keys are stored on the cloud.
I'd suggest to get desktop wallet as you have more controls of your private key, just make sure your PC are clean from malware and junks.
If you're really serious about security you can get hardware based wallet like Trezor or paper wallet, that should be enough.
Hello, I also want to need to know about this, because my bitcoin waller does not support private key, yes we have a password but unlike myetherwallet it has a private key that is really secure and I am also the one who can open it. I also want to know is trezor and paper wallet can just be use on computer? What kind of wallet do you use?

I think you should send all your Bitcoin to your offline wallet. It is safer than store them in the exchange.
I think this is a most appropriate way to safe your BTC.

Whenever you read people saying their wallet was hacked, ask them how it was hacked and you'll find they gave our their private key or seed, they used a public WiFi this is basis and you're never suppose to do this all. I don't know which wallet you use, but use electrum if you want the free best wallet, or trezor or paper wallet in case you're neither buying nor selling.
And when the user uses his private keys ... boom rip btc

I think so, because they can get all your money from your wallet. You work hard for your money so don't let hackers victimize you. You should always be vigilant and don't trust anybody so can protect your wallet.

What you should do is to stop on using web/online wallets if your accounts get hacked because you can't recover those stolen bitcoins so you should just have to stop using those unsecured wallets and used offline wallets and hardware wallet instead.
