Almost impossible to steal...(an encrypted file/wallet in my personal possession). The thefts you have read about are from “exchanges”/trading platforms (ie. stock brokerage accounts)...never leave Bitcoin in those for longer than it takes to make a trade. (And you don’t have to use exchanges at all...just buy some Bitcoin off a “local” in your area: https://localbitcoins.com).

Bitcoin is a marginal “investment”...more of a tool. It was the first “blockchain” technology...it is going too be eclipsed by other better blockchain technology. The current infighting between devs will be it’s downfall. Other better managed cryptocurrencies will take it’s place eventually. I am pretty much down to the the original 3.5 Bitcoins that I CPU “mined” years ago for about a dollar in electricity at the start of the project, now worth about $3200., so I am happy.
I did miss the Inauguration Day spike in Trumpcoin though...could have made some $ that day...spiked to 53 cents per Trumpcoin...now back down to 5 cents. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/trumpcoin/

You do not know what you are talking about.
