I kept it and while I keep my cues on the service blockchain Today, this is one of the good online services. While the amount was small, I did not think about the safety of my cue ball. The online purse is a kind of bank.

I use blockchain.info to store them and I use paper wallets for longer term. I do try some other wallets at times but I dont feel a need to use them since I like blockchain.info If I had many bitcoins then I would only trust a full qt wallet with serious amounts like that. For quick transactions online ones are far and you can't walk around running a full wallet on your phone xP
to me i personally using double wallets one is from blockchain.info and second is yobit.net. one is fo my personal use to spend bitcoin and the second is for trading and investment purposes.
I think yobit not the wallet but if you use it only for trading activities was not a problem but you have kept on standby for a third party no one is safe on the internet

Bitcoin wallet to store bitcoin such as Coinbase blockchain.info , xapo and others. Yobit is mostly a exchanger site. So perhaps more accurately when you put money in yobit actually you have deposited your money to trade, not really means you store on it . A website exchanger is not suitable for storing Bitcoin in the long term
Just do not keep all eggs in one basket

I just store bitcoins in web wallets and some alts I store in exchanger, just aiming to be faster to convert them to bitcoin and minimize the reduced coin due to truncated fees.

Store in exchanger if we used for trading but its better to store in own private wallet if not for trading.
Storing in exchanger is very high risk if the exchange get hacked from profesional hacker. Always be careful

I just store my bitcoins in an online wallets. I think that is the best option to store you Bitcoins. I like the online wallets, because it is so nice to work with it.
I hope later that more people will use the online wallets more and that Bitcoin will becoming more popular in the future, and we all hope ofcourse that the value will rise too.

I use a mixture - I have some paper wallets stored in a safe

I have a few bitcoin on my main computer using elctrum wallet

I have .4 ish bitcoins on my Iphone

I have almost a bitcoin on blockchain.info

I figure its good to spread it around (it helps me sleep safer at night)
that way on how you keep your bitcoin safe sounds good to be in case your private key got hack or someone know it but once they get your private key they won't get all of your bitcoin in one swoop.

You must take security precautions! Hold your coin in some wallets is the best solution.
 Blockchain, Multibit ..
Also one good amount would be nice to be kept in a cold wallet!
Always use a good password and change it periodically !.
that's all you have to do.

keeping your bitcoin safely is enormously important. unlike adding types of portion controlled by banks, bitcoin gives you many another to include and manage your maintenance. that's why companies as well as luno etc. are founded not just to make it easy for you to attain, sell, and use bitcoin, but to save it safe. we realize this by storing your private key in a bank iron safe when access such as fingerprints and retina scans. not just an iron safes, but various iron safes in version to speaking many continets.

Keeping offline offline on one side is more durable than paper highly recommended, be it a QR code or even a metal card. This ensures accurate QR scanning and prevents the engraving or marking, making reading of the recording keys or QR codes difficult. You can also send and receive or keep secure bitcoin on a portable device. QR code, as well as NFC in the near future can be made to allow sending and receiving Bitcoin, NFC is even easier than QR code.

The key thing to understand is that no matter what you do, you won’t actually be storing the bitcoin itself. That’s because a bitcoin isn’t an object, it’s an encrypted address on the blockchain.
What you own is a unique key that unlocks a specific bitcoin location, and that’s what you need to be protecting at all times by storing it in a wallet.

The easier way to store your bitcoin and other cryptocurrency is in a digital wallet online, or locally on your smartphone or computer. But leaving your bitcoin in public view can open you up to attacks from hackers and phishing scams. That’s why the best option is a hardware wallet that stores your bitcoin offline.

I actually store my bitcoin into one wallet only. this is because I am still in the period of earning bitcoins on my own. This was also advise for people not having much bitcoin yet you can store it only in a wallet but of you have a lot of it you can have more than 1 wallet to store them..

Earned bitcoins were stored in the Blockchain wallet. Till now I was completely having trust over the Blockchain online wallet. To have more security to the earned bitcoins having a offline wallet is also advised  Cheesy Cheesy

I store my bitcoin in my online wallet because I feel safe on it. On online wallet I'm surely it is secure because there are so many verification before you open it unlike on a normal wallet it can snatch from other or you can loss it .

I am using a ledger nano to store my cryptocurrencies, before that I was using metamask it was also fine at that moment. I started by keeping hard copy, written on a piece of paper, then keep it a short time on exchange, metamask and currently Ledger Nano.
