From your expression @ Obari you know so much on the possible ways to secure your funds but what about people who are new to bitcoin and those who feel less concerned about their privacy and security do you think they don't need to spend time and money to get trained?

I wouldn't say I know so much but atleast I know the basis of security and anyone whonis coming into cryptocurrency consciously should be aware at one point or the other that what they hodling is value, that is, it is worth money and you know people don't joke with money, hence, I believe you don't expect them joke with the security of their coins and most persons who came into through referral which I believe most cryptocurrency user came through such means should at some point been told alot about security.
I'm not taking things really personally but anyone reading this from a different perspective might see it as a big deal to hold bitcoin.

Haha, a dedicated course for cybersecurity I thnk it is too much buddy..

Extremely too much just for holding bitcoin.
With digital banking, people who use local banks shoukd also be advised to go get cyber security courses as well.

than spending money trying to enroll on a cyber security course.

Cybersecurity should be a general concern, I think everyone (bitcoin enthusiasts or not) should be conscious of how they use the internet and how to protect their data.

I'm not disputing this fact and it will be nice if everyone, especially internet users enroll on this but you should know cybersecurity courses aren't free and in my country, it is usually expensive and you wouldn't expect someone battling to buy bitcoin to first go for a cyber security course first, simply because he wants to hold.

we use devices (pcs, mobile phones) to access our bitcoins, these devices are vulnerable to hacks and viruses.

Pardon me but I think most local banks also use this devices you mentioned and I'm not trying to do any form of comparison but since they also use this devices and also deals with money, I think we ought to also enroll in cybersecurity courses as well before using our local banks digital apps.
If you're asked to go enroll in some form of cyber security courses before using your local bank when you possibly have other equivalent options, will you still voluntarily still use your local bank?
Me: no I wouldn't use it and I believe most Persons wouldn't as well.

Please you guys should stop making it seem impossible or very difficult to hold bitcoin.
There is absolutely no need to go for a cyber security course or test simply because I want to hold bitcoin and this is a bad concept to present to the public about bitcoin and if I'm to be a newbie, seeing this alone should be able to kill my zeal about to wanting to deal with it.

Just getting a secure wallet possibly a hard ware wallet and avoiding clicking on unfamiliar and every links that pops up on our device will do the tricks than spending money trying to enroll on a cyber security course.

While it is entirely not necessary to enroll oneself into a cyber-security course, but if anyone gets into bitcoin deeply they would obviously be interested in security practices and learning basic security measures will be really be helpful for them in the future. Precisely speaking, if any individual is handling voluminous amounts of bitcoin regularly, I think they should be having a great knowledge or background in security related aspects since a minor mistake would cost them hundreds or thousands of $$$ easily.

I love the fact that you were specific on cases and scenarios where advancing to getting a cyber security course is needed and appreciated which op never did because I see no need for a cyber security course when one is still barely trying to hodl.
