I only have few bitcoin or should I call it satoshi's and I keep it on an online wallet here in our country. If I have a lot of bitcoins I will definitely store it on an offline computer for its safety.  Grin

I usually keep bitcoin in online wallets Mostly use coisebase and blockchain. I think online wallet are so esay to use and 100% safety

I also put my bitcoin in online wallet so that I can easily access it whenever I did to convert or I need to transfer bitcoin in exchange to do trade. This is not safe but I am doing it for the mean time.

Download an offline wallet like electroum, set password , save your private key into somewhere that noone can find it (except you) and disconnect the internet connection of your computer.

I am keeping a part of my coins in online wallets and the remaining part in paper wallets. I am planning to buy a Ledger Blue for sometime now, but it seems to be a bit risky as of now. If I store my coins in a hardware wallet, then it increases the risk of robbery or confiscation. Other people will come to know that I own some coins, and I don't want that to happen.

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


My bitcoins are all in my trading account, Im just holding it all there and letting it increase its value, I plan on investing some of my bitcoins in some ICOs that I think would make a big hit in the market. But for now, my coins are gonna be staying in my trading account.

one more reason I keep my bitcoin through online wallet, actually at various addresses like electrum, multibit hd, bitcoin core, meycelium, and bitcoin and the other comes from bitcoin exchange wallets. But I am a little curious about the offline wallet, I want to try it, someone can give me feedback. thank you

will definitely store my bitcoin in the offline wallet that I save just for storage, if I'm out and need some money in my bank account. This works very well for me and I'm very happy with it as it is now with bitcoin, and I will definitely keep it safe.

I keep my bitcoins on cold wallets. And I'm waiting for growth, so they sell at least 2 times more expensive than bought. It is very safe and promising in the future.

Exchanges and online sites are risky because you don't own your private keys for your Bitcoins. They may be hacked or just shut off - with your money. Best way is keeping them in a wallet where you control your private keys - and for extra security a hardware wallet.
The hardware wallet with full sync is the most secure wallet, this wallet also help to secure bitcoin network. Trezor is good, but actually using online wallet such as blockchain .info which has famous brand name is good. If you still afraid, you can use 2FA to add extra layer of securities in that online wallet.
I don't keep my bitcoins i sell it if i can make some money with it. Because if i keep it i will probably lose a lot of money because i have -10 luck.
So i just buy at low price and sell at high price to make some money.

 I have a trust on coins.ph wallet  because it has a many security options before the hackers might hack your account. many of my friends are using it too, aside of using the online wallet, they are using another wallet for safety purposes.

The price of bitcoin is very volatile, it makes me think and find a safe way, I switch to some big altcoin that is Ethereum, Dash and Litecoin. with the division proven to be effective that I get profit faster.

I prefer to secure my bitcoin on the desktop wallet, because it's very secure and we're in full control.

It is also risky putting your bitcoin in your desktop wallet, sometimes someone is already watching your computer before you know it.
Different things with web wallet, we must follow their rules.

That's true, but it is more convenient when you need to cash out your bitcoin, since you don't have to transfer your coins. Their rules too are still tolerable and it is also for your protection and sometimes for legality.

I my self is keeping some in exchanges and some in my desktop wallet (electrum) I usually delete my wallet and keep my seed and reinstall it when I really need to use it.

I keep my bitcoins using a bitcoin wallet. Specifically a bitcoin wallet called coins.ph.
 I use this wallet because it isthe wallet that is available in my country and my friends is using it.
You can convert your bitcoins there to to a real money.But as of now I will just save my bitcoins
and wait for its value to raise more to convert and cash out my bitcoins.

Only answer = hardware wallet.

Research them and pick one.  Hard to go wrong.

I agree with this... I find hard wallets the safest among types of wallets for bitcoins.

well, I save it in the wallet that is on the internet. but, I rarely open it. I currently plan to move it to a local exchanger, so it's easier to trade it in fiat format, and it's faster to use. but many people say that it is dangerous, because many exchangers are always problematic in the end.
