AND guess how much ive lost to malware/virus/ransomware: IN 12 YEARS OF A HOT CORE WALLET IN WINDOWS,. ZERO NOTHING NADA ZILCH NEGATIVE
That sounds like survivor bias. Many people have never lost their coins, but that doesn't change the fact that many others did lose their coins. I've never needed my seat belt, but that doesn't guarantee I won't need it in the future.Quote
security all comes down to the person. rarely is it ONLY the OS thats the security problem..
True. But it can help a lot. I'm not installing Wine to run Windows malware.Quote
btw i use hardware wallets and paper wallets for my main stash, core and my phone have spending amounts.
And that's how it should be 
As long as you can afford losing it, there's nothing wrong with using hot wallets.funny you mention seat belts. i wear mine. but not for when i get hit although that reason is pretty high. i wear them mainly to stay in the drivers seat when doing "vapourminer things" like drifts, catching air in the favorite "how high can you get road jump" and stuff like that. as it sure does help still being in your seat to regain control when finally back on 4 wheels. so not sure if thats a good analogy? but off topic so..
survivorship bias is a thing that for sure. as im living proof with all the seriously serious stupid things that i done lived through that a few friends didnt. RIP my some of old buddies.
anyhow i certainly dont advocate rolling with windows for security stuff for the general peeps with coin. but my results does go to show that if one is careful (and luck has a bit to do there too) you can be fairly safe.
gonna have to get my CP/M rig up. hack THAT
