Such great features also come with great security concerns. At the same time, Bitcoin can provide very high levels of security if used correctly.Always remember that it is your responsibility to adopt good practices in order to protect your money.

I keep my bitcoin either on a hardware wallet i.e. Trezor or on a secure exchange like Paxful (with 2FA enabled).

Thus far, I have never been hacked and have kept all of my bitcoins safe using these methods.

I think that it is very important to have a strong password and it's often overlooked.

Live Casino is an online gaming platform where a dealer interacts with you during a game. It is more like playing in a brick-and-mortar casino. Yet, you play on a webcast from the comfort and security of your personal space paradox mg5050, anywhere in the world.

I got curious about cold storage, hardware wallets will be always the best alternative

I use Google Authenticator, it is a good option that I had and it works well for me

What I'm afraid of cold storage is my memory. I'm honestly a disaster to remember where I put things. I can't imagine if I lose it or if drinking something It end up soaking wet

Never trust online wallets. You are not owner of that servers

Security should be the primary focus for any exchanges as well as for users, security software on the exchange server should scan all emails for virus, ,malware and other threats, they should have trusted SSL certificate for secure and encrypt communications between Exchange server and clients.

I use few security methods to protect my crypto:
1. hardware wallet
2. linux OS only for managing my crypto
3. good av
4. seed passwords in 3 different locations, hidden in safe place

No online wallet, no funds on exchanges, only use decentralized exchanges like Shapeshift, no hardware wallet (you really don't know what's going on there).

I agree that having a secure wallet is key to security. If you are hodling, a cold wallet is the best and safest option. Also, as others have mentioned, always keep your money in a wallet and not on the exchange.

I consider using a hardware wallet. While e-wallets are more convenient, they are much more susceptible to basic phishing, social engineering, or malware attacks that trick you into revealing your password and private key.
