What is the BIGGEST problem with Crypto Currencies......Lost COINS:(....Are you at risk?
Steemians how would it feel to lose all your Bitcoins, Ethereum, Steem Power, Shit coins etc? I'm sure it wouldn't be something we would be that fond of, but it is a HUGE problem that the whole crypto currency faces. Many early adopters of bitcoin have had a first hand experience of either having their coins stolen, or losing them....I'm not really sure which one would be worse, but I know both problems can be prevented!

How can this be prevented?
1. Never store your coins on a platform or a wallet that doesn't allow you to hold the private key. This means DO NOT hold your money in Coinbase, but instead move it over to wallet like Jaxx or Ethereumwallet.
2. Store your coins off line on a cold storage device. Yes, the device is not free, but it worth its weight in bitcoin. The ledger nano S is great device and this video by btc sessions shows how to work it properly.

So Steemians please make sure to move your coins to a secure wallet. ....Please be smart family.
