You have your own wallet and no one can steal from it unless they have your private key. If someone does get your key and steals your BTC, there is no way of retrieving it, so never give anyone your key. If you forget your key, you can not get your Bitcoin, so make sure you don't forget it and keep it very secure. There is no one to call if things go wrong. People do risky things with coins like use bridges or leave them on exchanges. These can be hacked and they often are, so don't do that. Only send coins to an exchange to sell them. Usually we'd send a bunch of cash to an exchange account and buy USDC (stablecoin) which we can then secure in our wallet. If we want fiat cash, we sell coins on an exchange and withdraw to a normal bank account.
