What do you mean by paper wallet?

Is there an online tutorial that shows best way? Do I buy thumb drives to backup each wallet? Can I have multiple copies?

There are a few others as well. Just google for them or watch youtube videos.

- make sure you have clean and secured computer
- encrypt wallet
- make backups of wallet
- put large amounts to offline computer
- make paper wallets

This should protect your assets pretty well.

Go offline for the best security, presume everything on your computer/online is exposed... Paper style wallet or card in fire proof safe/deposit box.
