Bitcoin is as safe as you make it safe, that is the beauty of Bitcoin. With fiat you just hope justice will help you if you get hacked, with Bitcoin you might secure it very well

You need to use separate computer never connected with offline wallet. Hopefully hardware wallets will be available soon for no tech users

Very true.
People really need to understand this, and use an offline wallet to store 99% of their bitcoin.

what is offline wallet? how do I get one?

An offline wallet is keeping your coins on either a paper wallet or in a wallet.dat backed up on something like a usb or CDR that's not online so it's safe.

Yeah this, but make sure you make several back ups and or write your private keys down too.
