Personally I enjoy my bitcoin Trezor and use it to store about 10 BTC, the rest is stored offline in paper wallets. Also have some in my phone as well.
Thing is to keep small amounts in many places to reduce chances of anything to happen, at least to a consistent part of your capital.

Trezor? Is that an online wallet?

Its a hardware wallet -> https://www.bitcointrezor.com/

Well me I use Electrum. Fast, easy, intuitive. And the most important part: you get your private keys ^^

You can use trezor with electrum so your private keys would be safe even if your computer was infected. Pretty neat things these hardware wallets.

Just do not keep all eggs in one basket. That's one of the main rules you have to know, its the best to hold your bitcoins on multiple wallets so you can not lose them all at once by some hackers or something, its the best to do for your bitcoins.

I only use online wallets for my bitcoins.

You of course need multiple wallets for the security.

Also the online wallets are really easy as an example blockchain is very easy.

I store my bitcoins in multiple wallets due the safety, do not want to take a risk to get hacked and lose all of my coins at once.
Mostly store them on online wallets, like blockchain.

If you have small ammounts might aswell store them on an exchange. Otherwise safer options include -> desktop wallet, paper wallet.

lol small amount or big amount you must always be carefull. exchange is not wallet and you can't doing sign message, many adresses, etc in exchange, you can't do it, moreover the possibility to scam is big enough, like cryptsy

I use online wallet to store my bitcoin and for bigger amounts I transfer to paper wallet to get more security.

I also like that, but I used two different wallets, with different functions, and I guess I'll add more to one wallet for the outcome of gambling Cheesy

I thought the wallet blockchain very nice, secure and flexible. I'm sure blockchain would be like microsoft, these companies will be great, I was sure a third party such as blockchain would not be a scam

Even company like Mt Gox can go burst. Personally I would prefer to manage the private keys myself, but keeping small amount in blockchain wallet may give you flexibility.

I hold some on Coinbase. I had some on Cryptsy that I was trading but now have lost it all, so that was a mistake. Some is in paper wallets.

i think not really safe to save some coins in some exchangers site , beside security problem what we must notice when saving our money in online wallet, exchanger site also has risks of their security problems. most of the problem are from hackers ( although not necessarily hacked or not )

Best way to store Bitcoin is online wallets.. I don't have that much bitcoins which need to be stored. I have a little bit amount in my online wallet..I think Online wallets are better to access your bitcoins anywhere you want to access.

online wallet is very helpful for flexibility, but most online wallet is a third party, I think for security wallet, a third party is not the best way to store, there is the risk of losing a sizeable

Im recently storing my bitcoins to online wallets as they are not that much to be stored in hdd wallets like bitcoin core or electrum, but if i have enough bitcoins for storing then i will store them in my pc in electrum and bitcoin core wallets, i hope they will be safe there.

Electrum is very easy to use. And at least you know that your coins there are yours.

Good luck.
