Topic: Tips To Keep Your Cryptocurrency Safe (Read 159 times)
Security is the main concern for crypto. But don't just save the private key in the single device whatever you use pc or laptop. Normally people use HDD. It's possible to lose private key specially store in the HDD. One incident happen already happen with my friend. Take print of private key and store it in very safe place. Second thing store it in the pen drive. Just store only private key file and not others thins. After that format it. Whenever you need it you can recover it from pen-drive easily. I hope this things you fill find at your own.
I think very important thing is using several wallets if you have a lot coins. Private wallets is the best choose for this. And all keys Hold on a piece of paper in own house.
The best way to save that I think is encrypt our privkey with the key of encryption save in our mind. Then we save to cloud. It will doubling secure our privkey, because it's encrypted with key saved in our mind
The safest way to keep your cryptocurrency is paper wallets. If you are a holder and do not use your coins, you can make a wallet in an offline PC, or by booting your computer using a Linux cd. I used another way because I have a Raspberry Pi.
I've created a new Raspbian version and I've downloaded the wallets then unplugged it from the internet, and when I was ready with the addresses I've formatted the mini SD card. If you make transactions it is better to use a hot wallet - cold wallet combination.
A hardware wallet is a good option too.

Now I am intrigued sir. Can you memorized all those characters for all your wallets in your head? Surely that is a gargantuan task if not impossible. Only a genius or a special person can do such a thing. So I guess - no offense - you are smart.

I think the security at the exchanges and personal wallet is safe enough. Just do not lose your personal lock and malware onto your computer. then you have safely kept your tokens 100%
I did not stored any private keys in the cloud system I had printed it on paper because for now I do not have hardware wallet, I had stored a back up of my private keys in a pdf format file and put password to it. Then for another security I put it together with another pdfs in a zip file with encryption( two layer of password) save it my PC.
Are there still those who really keep all this data on the cloud system? Hardware wallet is the most reliable way to store saving. 
There are a thousand different ways you could loose access to your hold if you have the details stored on anything that is some how connected to the internet.
The Best way i would recommend to keep your crypto safe is by using hardware wallets which you can place in a safe spot where only you can access them.
I am using ledger to store my hold and its the safest mean that i feel until now.

I think the most reliable equipment to get the hardware wallet, prices are not too expensive
Now it's time for everything to be done neatly and safely and protect yourself as much as I've been hearing from many people for a long time as hacking their wallets and stealing everything ... so you need to look for some ways for your safety.
I think the hardware wallet is relatively safe, don't put your private key on the computer, this is a very dangerous thing.
If you don't have a lot of digital currency, you can write them down on paper and put them in a safe place.
