RE: John McAfee ONLY Hardware Wallets Are Safe | Your Bitcoin WILL Be Stolen Off Your Phone or Computer
McAfee is a fucking kook, and his anti-virus program is malware, so I wouldn't listen to that guy if I were you Rebel. Wallets are good, but could be destroyed, lost, or stolen just as easily.
Choose you exchanges wisely. Use trusted companies that would reimburse you in case of theft or hacking, like CoinBase and Kraken just to name a few.
If you use some fly by night Chinese exchange, or anything being built atop the Ethereum platform, keep your coins and tokens on there at your own risk.
hey @tolkatore mcafee is definately an interesting dude. i recently watched that shotime documentary about him. regardless of what you think of his antivurus software, btw im not a fan either, doesn't mean he doesnt have anthing worthwhile to say.
as fro trezors and ledgers and what not yeah i think nothing is perfect but its the best option plus if you have your seed which by the nature of the device has never been displayed on a computer which is a huge bonus you can always regain your coins through an exchange compatible with the seed or buy buying a new device.
what's your fav exchange?
ive been a longtime coinbase user but recently started using bittrex who i like and think highly of. i signed up for yobit just for the free coins and maybe throw a small amoutn of money in for some small coins i cant get on bittrex but in general probably not going to put a ton of money on that one.
