Is Bitcoin really this safe with all this hacking going on?
I really need to know before I throw a ton of money towards it.
You have to answer some questions:
- Has your computer been ever hacked/ infected with virus/ trojan?
- If yes, have you been able to find source/ cause of hack/ infection and a way to prevent it occurring again in future?
If your computer was hacked/ infected and you don't know why/how this happened then you won't be able to protect your bitcoins and you shouldn't invest into them.
Generally speaking bitcoins are as safe as your computer is.
