Store them in an offline computer that I only connect to transport coins, also keeping the keys in a USB in case there is a hardware failure.

Cold storage is the only safe method for storing bitcoin's. A trezor could be worth investing in too. Only store small amounts in an online wallet to avoid the threat of being compromised.

I keep Bitcoins in my own computer. I think because the safest.
I keep it online but sometimes I find that quite unsafe because I sometimes hear from people that they have been hacked.

So that's why I do it on my own PC.

Same here. I just put a couple on my online wallet whenever I need to. Storing it on your own PC is the safest.

I store them on a Trezor, and some on a wallet on my phone. And some on LocalBitcoins.

I store my bitcoins at a wallet.

Sometimes I store them offline and mostly online.

It depends if I store them offline or online by its amount.

Well atm I only store on blockchain because I don't have much of them. If it's about a large amount of btc then I'll store them on PC wallet

I have  my small pocket money wallet online, and a hardware wallet for my savings...
I think thats the best solution in terms of security and ease of use

I keep my Bitcoin on my own PC. I find this the safest.
I have indeed heard that you can store Bitcoins to online wallets. But I myself think that it is not very reliable.

You can now keep it in your brain, I wrote a quick tutorial how to memorize private keys:

Aren't holding coins at the moment but usually on an exchange. Terrible practice really, but one day (hopefully not too late) I will pull them out of the exchange and into cold storage and some kind of hot wallet setup for my own consumption.

Do it fast, because you cannot know when the exchange goes bust.

It's never a good idea to keep all your money in 1 place, that is not in your control.

i store it on my paper wallet, thats a really good method i think
paper wallet is more suitable if you are storing them for future or in the long term, if you use for everyday purposes
of course it will be very complicated

I just keep my bitcoins in Xapo vault. I believe it's an insured one. So, keeping bitcoin there gives me the advantages of mobility as well as cold storage.

Xapo vault is the best option but I see it never got discussed here. If somebody shares their experience with XAPO vault cold storage, that would be more useful for many members here.
Are you honestly fine with trusting 3rd party service to keep your coins? It may be the best vault in the world, but it is not truly yours, its theirs.
Until you have your private keys you are not a holder of any BTC, Xapo is. At this point I don't think they will go rogue or mess something.
But I wouldn't sleep knowing that I have no direct and exclusive access to my coins.

I store my bitcoins in mobile wallet or blockchain online wallet its the best way and Don't store your coins in one wallet.

I will add dont store your coins on one device. If you use mobile wallet, consider creating another wallet on your computer as well.
