Hi,
The latest version is always better, but I have a theme works only on opencart version 1.5.6.1. Is it safe to use opencart 1.5.6.x in 2017 since I saw the newer version of opencart has only improvement in design/responsive...etc Do you think opencart 1.5.6.x has dangerous bugs that open my site to hackers? please help me, I'm confused. thanks in advance!

I would suggest testing v1.5.6.4 as that was a very good release and it fixed a lot of the bugs with 1.5.6 and 1.5.6.1

This was a very solid release in my opinion and we know a lot of site owners still using this version.

As said above, v1.5.6.4 is the better choice.

However, be aware that v1.5.6.x code is not fully compatible with PHP 7+, so you should stick with at least PHP 5.4 or PHP 5.6 for better results.

That's a good point about php7 and I haven't really seen 2.x supporting php7 either.
