RE: Your Bitcoin, ETH, STEEM, and other Crypto are NOT stored securely.

in #bitcoin6 years ago

Alright, not sure which part of this you don't understand.

The private key is NOT being cracked. Cold storage, which contains the private key, is being hacked. Once the cold storage is breached, the privaye key is exposed.

Again, the Bitcoin network is not being compromised. Hardware wallers used to store it can be. Even Bitfi, the hardware, can be cracked. However, it does not store the private key so there is nothing to take.

Sort:  

you dont understand

paper wallet = cold storage impossible to hack

for hardware confiscation is needed and using a handheld device is the lowest security with the highest risk for loss/theft
