Topic: Best way to store Bitcoin safely ? - page 2. (Read 2650 times)
I think bitcoin crypto currency most popular. because i think is the best online wallet.
I used to save my private keys and other important matters in USBs, lol. I create note on my laptop then saved it on multiple USB I have then locked it with a password. It really helps me. You must do it also so you wouldn't use Computer without internet, lol. At least USB was light to carry everywhere.
thats a nice idea indeed. by the way i do also follow that method before ever since i got my first laptop , i then buy a seperate usb flashdrive so that i can store my important files such as my private keys from myether wallet and also my other private keys from another online exchange . i feel safe and secure to save a copy from different devices , so that you can be sure that you will always have a back up if ever something bad happens to one of your devices .
As the complications and risk of storing your digital assets in an exchange, people tends to store it in a cold wallet, this can be a cold hardware storage or even a physical hardware manual generated keycodes storage. There are alot of these hardware storage in the market right now so please do get them as you may be storing millions of dollars worth of token but it may be hacked to be in the wrong hands.

I would store it on a Hardware wallet such as a Nano Ledger S or Trezor. 
Either save it to a secure server or just use Blockchain.
Two things i have in storing bitcoin. First, i'm using coins.ph in storing bitcoin because of very good reputation of this website at the same time i'm also doing my daily trading in this particular website. 2nd, is the hardware wallet called Ledger Nano, this wallet helped me a lot and giving me peace of mind and security.
Storing them in some place that is not to the internet in order to avoid the prying eyes of internet fraudsters is the best solution if you ask me. Paper wallet is a great way to store Bitcoin.
Hi guys
I know this might sound like a newbie question, but Ive not had enough bitcoin to think about putting any in cold storage since Cryptsy ripped me off when they went down
But just lately ive built myself back up a bit, and just need to check my understanding of a creating a cold wallet is correct ? This is what I think was the best way but im not sure
1. Download latest BTC client
2. move to a pc not connected to the internet.
3. Create an address on that PC without internet.
4. Send fund to address created on PC with no internet access.
5. Save keys in safe place
Also I was wondering if there are any 100% safe third party wallets that enable quick access if needed ?
Sorry if my question has been covered many times, but I just don't want to make a big mistake.
Thanks
Rick

Print it in a paper but the paper and the printer you should use is not that advanced that stores data that can be collected by a hacker it must be a simple laser type printer and a paper tht is not easily disintegrated, and if you can you can also put a scratch sticker on the keys so you can know of someone is peeking on it and if possible you should put it in a vault of safe
Bitcoin crypto currency become most popular. There are several ways to store Bitcoin in your offline wallet including paper wallets, hardware wallets, etc. You can download the famous paper wallet generator from GitHub and move it to an offline PC and create a paper wallet to store your funds offline.

The first time I store my bitcoin is in blockchain.info which I think is the best online wallet, all the security features are available there and I'm never afraid to save on blockchain because it's proven to be the safest wallet.
Hardware wallet and a pc without virus and another extra laptop that is not connected to internet since it is bought. Try also to diverse your bitcoins from different hardware you have. Criminal are being smarter and smarter and you might be the next victim and always be aware on what you've browse online.
I agree. First of all you should be aware every single moment while browsing online. It is always said prevention is better than cure, so use a hardware wallet for storing your cryptocurrency . And always pay proper attention to your PC, that it is virus free.
Hard wallet is best to store bitcoin. But it cost money to purchase a hard wallet
spot on. It costs some money, but if you're dealing with crypto on every day basis, it's not so such for it be an excuse. Can't be cheap to spend few tens of USD on ledger wallet.
And you didn't think to keep small sums on different purses? After all it is much safer, than to keep one big sum on one purse and and to talk about it on a forum?

for the most sophisticated security system in the world would still have a gap, no 100% guarantee everything would be safe because everyone like hackers always find ways to get what they want, but at least we can minimize things like that I know this might sound like a newbie question, but Ive not had enough bitcoin to think about putting any in cold storage since Cryptsy ripped me off when they went down

The best way to store Bitcoins is to keep them in a hardware wallet or a paper wallet. online wallets are availabe but hacked so many times.
So, I suggest that keep your BTC in a hardware wallet.
