Keeping it on trade wallet, because more pleasant way of generating bitcoin is trade. Sometimes, i use wallet blockchain when i am take break from trade.

I keep my coins on different exchange websites like bittrex or kraken. It is easy, because you can just start to trade or exchange them for something. Quiet useful tho Cheesy

I have all my coins in on an online trading site (paxful) (low volume)

I plan on making a large investment very soon, and want to safely store all of my coins
I.E I basically want to drop a couple thousand, and keep them in the safest possible way, where I can revisit them in 5-10 years or so and reap the benefits, or cry about the loss.

What is the best way to do this, and what's the best way of ensuring a backup?

How do you currently store your coins

thanks in advance for any inputs

i keep my bitcoin in coinbase wallet so it is safe.

I keep my coins in various different wallets just to be safe.
I have accounts in Payeer, Coinbase And Blockchain.
Blockchain is the best out of the three.
Payeer is most versatile.
All depends on the choice.

The portion for trading, in blockchain online wallet.

The portin for long term storage in paper wallet with phrase words. This is safe better.

The safest method to keep BTC would definitely be Armory and it's offline mode, if you plan on using a PC and not using a hardware wallet, If you keep a wallet and use an offline PC then using it is easier. If you don't understand it though just a regular paper wallet generated is an offline computer is enough.

i just keep it in me, i mean on my online wallet. since i dont post any information about it online, or any sites im guaranteed that my investment was safe there. and i also put a 2fa or what we all called verification code since its really helpful in keeping your money safe. i used to be more secured on my wallet since the last time a hacker was about to get full access in my wallet and since then i always stay alert on that kind of situation.

i've heard localbitcoins.com is good for bitcoins because when some of their coins got hacked a few years ago they insured their holders their money back

My holdings were in the online web wallet. It has provided with more and more user friendly features to enhance the usage access as well to have high security in the holdings. That too blockchain wallet is preferred because of the good development and continued updation.

I use Electrum Wallet for keep my Bitcoin, this is a good wallet it very light and security, you can get Private key and not need time or space for sync Blockchain Bitcoin. But I think if have more than ~10 BTC, I will buy Ledger Nano S for keep it Smiley

I keep them mostly in Localbitcoins, They cover some of the fees so I prefer them than a regular wallet and the TX's are send in bulks hence they can afford to put 0.002 or more into fee for a bulk TX.
I think about using MultiBit HD, I like how it looks and the interface and options as well.

I store my bitcoins in my electrum wallet in my PC.I have been using it for the past two years.Till now,i have not found any issues.We could set our transaction fee manually.There is no synchronizing problem in this wallet.
I also use desktop wallet. It's safer compared to online wallet, I use bitcoin core and as long as I use bitcoin core I also have never experienced any significant problem

I'am using an online wallet that is very popular here in our country. Aside from that, I invested some of my Bitcoin in exchange sites. I used it to buy altcoins and hold it till its value rise. By that time, I will sell it on a higher price.

I've been using Electrum for a year since I entered BTC, the amount of GB's and time with a medium-level internet access is few days of downloading and a 100 GB which is too much fro Core. Electrum has been stable and efficiently working for years, and I can even import the wallet anywhere with the secret phrase, so I find it very efficient and sufficiently secure.

I am using an online service. Although knowing that it is not safe, I still accept because my bitcoin is very small .. after this there are more I would use a safer wallet.

I often keep Bitcoin in my wallet which is necessary when you can use that wallet for transactions.

I keep all of them on blockchain.info right now, the place is relatively safe and the wallets are not available for the website to have access to, Can restore it from Electrum if anything happens to the website itself.
My investment now is less than 0.2 and I use it mostly in online deals, so things like paper wallets or hardware wallets are too much for me ATM.

I store most of my Bitcoin on my Trezor, but I also have an old paper wallet where I store a smaller sum.

While I always keep my bitcoin on local bitcoin,because I think local bitcoin has good security and until now I have never encountered any problems with bitcoin that I store in the localbitcoin.

What do you mean by local bitcoin? Do you refer to the localbitcoin platform? Well it's a trusted place to do trades but I don't want to store my bitcoins there'. I mostly keep my bitcoin now on an online wallet which is locally based and recognize by our government and registered so there's no worries at all.
