Can people steal my Bitcoin?

Recommended Posts

The bitcoin is characterized by its security, your bitcoin can be kept safely as long as you have them in a wallet and you have the private keys of it, that is almost impossible to steal, if there are ways with hackers but they are not very common, And it usually goes through ignorance of how the internet works, when downloading apparently harmless files they can contain malvars that can later attack the security of your computer. That's why I have to be very careful with this. For greater security, if you have a large amount, it is recommended that hardware wallets are what you will have physically and there is no way that a hacker can reach it, as if it can happen in an online wallet

Someone can steal your money if....

  • You provide someone your mnemonic (the words used for recover / restore your wallet account) or someone access to it (that's the reason is better not to save it digitally)
  • You provide your private key or someone access to it.
  • You leave your funds on a exchange or online wallet and hackers find a way to access it.

Needless to say, the third point depends on the security of the platform and it usually doesn't happen, but we know some cases. That's the reason we always suggest the hardware wallets, specially if this topic makes you sleepless.

Yeah sure, but to steal a BTC from your wallet a hacker needs to have access to your gmail, or to you passwords, or to have your mobile phone. If a hacker doesn't know any of this how does he know about your wallet anyways? It is better not to leave any personal info of your wallet addresses at any site, forum or blog.

Bitcoin is a product of the Blockchain technology, and interfering with a block on the Blockchain is almost impossible to do. The first way a Blockchain secures itself is by a process called hashing, tempering with a block on the Blockchain causes the hash to change imagine changing a million hashes per seconds??? 

That's  nearly impossible to do

people can steal your bitcoin yes of course but that depends on yourself if you keep your passwords very well I do not think and so far no one has been able to enter the system in a fraudulent way so you can be very sure of everything you can generate in money.

Be wary of unusual payment requests. Scammers will often ask you to use an unusual payment method, including preloaded debit cards, gift cards, iTunes cards or virtual currency such as Bitcoin

There would be hackers who try to access your private keys. so it is extremely important that the user's adopts safety measures that prevent hackers and other scammers from stealing your private keys which in turn would lead to stealing your Bitcoins. So the safety of private key is a must for any user in the platform.

The most secure place to store crypto - on the USB flash storage, or on professional 'cold' wallet (but its price may be about 150$). While USB flash storage or professional wallet are not connected to the network, their crypto assets can't be stolen.

Hello friend, and thank you for your advice .. For me, I prefer that you save your public key and your private key on a hard copy in order to save it from theft and loss, in addition to not responding to strangers in chat requests because it is often a fraud or hack

Many of us do play with this private key forgetting that if they lose it automatically they have lose there funds in the wallet because only with this private key we can get access to the wallet so just the way you said we must make sure we keep it safe in order to avoid losing funds as no one will be there to compensate us if we lose to scammers or hackers.

It is very important before entering the field of cryptocurrencies to know the basics and the risks that can occur so that you do not lose your money. One of the most important of these basics is keeping your passwords, secret sentences and your keys in a safe place. Second, you can use 2fa to increase the protection of your account from your phone, but before activating it, you must study the risks involved in losing or breaking your phone. In my view, everything in cryptocurrencies is about basics, learning and studying

The most important thing for keeping a wallet safe is to keep the private key in a safe place and not to lose it or forget it.  The private key is the key to the lock for the wallet, and if anyone gets the private key, the wallet becomes the property of that person, and thus money is easily stolen.

No they cannot because they needed to hack into your btc wallet which is impossible. Yes sure if you gave them your mobile phone or wallet password and username or your mail address access then sure they can, but without this parts it is not possible.

Unfortunately it happened to me that I forgot my private key. I used to keep the password on a piece of paper in my office. I lost it and I could not find it, and I tried very hard to retrieve it, but I failed.

Yes, there are people who are professionals in the field of digital currency theft! Whether through unknown or unreliable sites or through Telegram! I know many people who lost all their possessions due to hackers hacking their devices and knowing the person’s accounts on the trading platforms and also their wallet accounts.

This is one of the questions I get asked most often, and it’s easy to see why. Unlike cash or transitional investments you are responsible for storing your own crypto safely.

How does storing cryptos work?

  • Cryptos are stored in a digital wallet.
  • This wallet has a private and a public key.
  • The private key allows you to transfer funds out of it. The public key allows you to transfer funds into it.
  • If you lose your public key, you can still access it with your private key.
  • If you lose your private key, you lose assess to your wallet’s funds.
  • If someone discovers your private key, they gain access to your funds.

It’s as simple as that.

So, as you can see, it’s extremely important that you keep your private key, well, private.

If they can steal your BTC and any currency that you do not have well protected, the pirates are every day looking for how to rob people, that is why we must have our coins in a secure wallet, with an encryption key and our own keys, if you use Hot wallets are vulnerable to an attack, so I recommend keeping them cold and thus avoiding them, maximizing our security we stay safer.
Do not give our keys to anyone and less leave them in third party storage, that is an error that many people have, they think that by sending an email to an account with all their keys they are saving them in case they forget them and they are only giving way to can be stolen. Safety is paramount and we must not neglect it.

Hard wallet will be the best option to keep your crypto safe from hackers as this is one of the risk of using digital wallets, but again you still need to keep your private keys safe.

    • Майнер криптовалюты Hut 8 Corp опубликовал отчет о своих результатах за последние шесть месяцев. Согласно пресс-релизу компании , Hut 8 увеличила выручку до $60,6 млн за шесть месяцев, закончившихся 31 декабря 2023 года. Основные показатели финансовой отчетности Hut 8 включают увеличение выручки на 32% и значительное увеличение чистой прибыли до $6,2 млн по сравнению с к предыдущему чистому убытку. Стоимость майнинга биткойнов ( BTC ) составила 18 815 долларов США, и за этот период компания добыла 1244 биткойна. Стоимость энергии Hut 8 за МВтч составила 44,52 доллара США, что отражает эффективность управления затратами на электроэнергию. Биткойн укрепляет активы Hut 8 Сила баланса компании очевидна в ее активах в биткойнах : по состоянию на 31 декабря 2023 года 9 195 биткойнов оценивались примерно в 388,1 миллиона долларов. Эта база активов обеспечивает Hut 8 значительную рыночную стоимость и потенциал для будущих доходов. Биткойн демонстрирует устойчивый рост с начала года после того, как спотовые биткойн- ETF в США привлекли в биткойн институциональных и розничных инвесторов. С начала года первая и до сих пор лидирующая криптовалюта в мире подорожала на 60%, а в начале марта BTC обновил свой исторический максимум, поднявшись выше $70 000. Кроме того, рыночная капитализация Биткойна превысила 1,4 триллиона долларов, что сделало самую ценную криптовалюту восьмым по величине активом в мире, обогнав серебро.
