Well I guess its the fear of been hacked that is why most people refuse to have anything to do with bitcoin or other cryptocurrency. When I told a friend of mine whom i have been trying to convince into investing in cryptocurrency about how people do get hacked if not careful, he ended up telling me he has made his stand not to invest in crypto because it freaks him out. How I wish there will be a solution to this, probably, a lot of people might have invested in cryptocurrency.
Lol..this got me laughing, I guess you are the one that freaked him out, which is why he made his stand never to invest in cryptocurrency. You should have also encourage him by telling him how to pervent himself from getting hacked by putting his coins in a cold secured ledger or cold storaging. There might be a lot of hacking going on but bitcoin investment is worth more.
It is good to guide and lead people towards profit because it is good for our own benefit as well if, we will guide people well about bitcoin they will invest in bitcoin to earn profit, some new users use to make mistakes in bitcoin which make them discouraged and they never try to invest again, hacking is not the big problem now because there are a lot of wallets for bitcoin available in market and people can get one of their choice easily, it will save your bitcoin and will never let other people to hack your bitcoin, blockchain is the all time best wallet for bitcoin according to me to prevent your bitcoin form being hacked.
