There's been news going around saying that you need to put in a certain address to able to steal that account. I was wondering if that's fake and bitcoin is a secured way of handling cash.
I really don't understand your questions dude. What certain address you mean? That is a fake news from my perspective. The only way you will able to steal bitcoin is that if you know that private keys on that bitcoin address. And its really hard to hack a private keys to begin with. So it's good thing that you ask around and don't believed anything you see or hear in the web right now, specially about bitcoins. Everyone is really riding the popularity of bitcoin such that they will write or post anything about it even if it is not true. And yes, bitcoin is more secured way of handling your money because you have total control over it if you have the private keys. And you have to secure your accounts with a strong password as well so that hackers will have a difficulty guessing it.
