I'm thankful I've never experienced theft. I myself use the MyEtherWallet wallet and I always save my email, address and password and I also add my wallet with 2fa and also be careful when using it. Don't easily click links that you don't know about. and in my opinion if you have a fairly large amount of bitcoin it's better to keep it in a hardware wallet I think it will be safer.
maybe its good that next time read carefully the title and the OP before putting any post because sometimes it is annoying mate,it is clear that OP is asking about BTC and why MEW comes to the scene?funny right?
poeple will said that wallet is the best place to store your coin. but in a fact, a lot of people store their coin or token on some exchange. it can be not secure, if they hack that exchanger, but when we thinking about it, exchanger also give security.
because people generally ar hardheaded and don't give a damn in any advises until they become a Victim,just after incident then they will realize the mistake they made but its too late already .
