Just online, you want a really huge chunk of bitcoins to uncover value in storing them offline or purchasing a hardware wallet for them, for small quantities I feel a personal computer wallet or an online wallet would be decent but Laptop wallet is better IMO if you can secure your personal computer.

I used to store my bitcoins in an Electrum wallet. I chose Electrum because it allows me to manage my private keys which I had encrypted in case my laptop and pendrives were stolen. Right now I'm using Ledger Blue. I had hard time deciding if I should buy Ledger Nano S or Blue but I decided to go with Blue because of its big display and built-in battery.

Hello everyone as the title says ^
Do you store your bitcoins online or on a wallet on your computer, perhaps cold storage?


I store all my bitcoins in different wallets. I believe it is much safer that way, if ever someone hacks into one of my wallets, at least he or she will only get one. So, for me it is much secured.

I think the best way so stay with your cryptocoins on a safety side, it is to use “cold storage”. For example i use “Trezor” wallet. It is very comfortable and calm.  Cool

for now I keep some bitcoin that I have on the exchanger, and some wallet. I guess it's a good way to store bitcoin, though it's a hassle, but I guess it's something safe. well, lots of people do that.

You have a lot of options from hardware wallets to normal i like to use blockchain and myetherwallet why? because i find those the most secure wallets of all wallets it is unhackable from my opinion.
LOL. Both of wallets you're using is hackable dude Smiley). If your computer has keylog virus you will never see your Bitcoin again Smiley). One out of my friends lost all of his cryptocurrency in myetherwallet cause someone hacked his myetherwallet privatekey. Smiley) If you want to find out the most secure wallet I think it'll be coldstorage wallet like trezor or ledger nano s

Bitcoin will store more secure online wallets and make sure that it will not be cut off or put in the most secure bank to make it safer. And it's best to put your bitcoins in your home because when you're closer you are more secure because you think it's better to see and touch than to go far.
When I receive my payments from a signature campaign,I store my bitcoins in the bitcoin wallet.If I have a lot of them,I invest some of my bitcoins while with the rest of it,I trade with others.I also encash my bitcoins and deposit them in a bank.

I store my bitcoin on exchange  like poloniex, bittrex, ... as it's convenient for job trading and the fee for transactions is low which is what i want in it.

Heard a hardware wallet is more secure now, I just don't know what will happen if you lost the hardware wallet if there is a way to recover it.

Luckily there is. All software/hardware that generates bitcoin wallets shows the wallet's seed and requires you to enter it to check if you have copied it right. Wallet seed is just like a private key. But a wallet seed has multiple addresses in it and each address has their own private keys. Basically owning the wallet's seed means owning all of the addresses regardless if you know their private keys individually or not. I also heard that hardware wallets are "secure". Unfortunately, that has a physical form and therefore it can be destroyed. Don't be so confident just because you own a nano ledger or something. Your coins can still be withdrawn by other people in case the device that was shipped to you has some sort of virus or keylogger that sends the wallet seed to the hacker.

Hardware wallets have become a must-have items for some people but I will always have trust in offline wallets. Simply generate a wallet from a fresh format computer that is offline and then move the wallet file to a flash drive. That's it. It saves you a hundred dollar than buying a hardware wallet.

Cold storage, spread across multiple wallets. At least you won't lose everything if one of them is compromised. I only keep BTC at exchanges when I'm about to trade, and I withdraw when I'm not. More people should adopt this practice, exchanges are generally unsafe and not meant for storage of your coins.

I store my coins and tokens and I wait until those tokens will pump. First, if I have already the coins I will take time to read in some forum that is related with the trading because in that foum I can obtain information about when is the time that the coins will pump also what is those coins.

You must take security precautions! Hold your coins in multiple wallets its best solution. difference being paper wallets are free, which i like.

Multiple wallets increases the risk. Also, there are additional risk factors such as forgetting the passwords or losing the 2FA. And paper wallets are also not 100% risk free. When you take the printout of the wallet, there is a chance that the private key gets stored in the device. Someone can later retrieve the private key and then steal your coins.
Maybe he is talking about the part where he spread his coins around so that if one wallet gets compromised, he wouldn't lose it all. But I think the best way is to have a cold storage or maybe a hardware wallet. It has been reviewed as one of the things necessary to protect your bitcoins. I read that it is also possible getting the data from the printer or something.
