Would it be safe if I use cold storage on USB stick? And whenever I need or use that usb I disconnect from internet?

Or should I get hardware wallet.

I dont know, i feel paranoid after reeding how insecure online wallets are.

Also do I need to be online to transfer bitcoins?

May be cheaper to get a hard drive. You can then simply store it there for use offline.

Unless you use Coinbase Vault to store the Bitcoin (as cold storage) which makes it hard to withdraw fuds without a 48 hour canellation period.

If I use harddrive it would be same like using USB tbh.. If any virus connects to my drive im screwed. Ill just get trezor.

If you use it on an offline computer, then you are not screwed.

Though I see your point.

So you dont need to be connected online to send or receive bitcoin?

a hardware wallet is probably the easiest + a secure way for most people to store coins. an online wallet is a bad idea indeed.

Which one would you suggest me to get?
Which one is the safest.

I use a Trezor for my cold storage. Works great and easy to use.

Some people use old laptops or computers they disconnect from the internet as well.
