I use online wallet and a cold wallet.
I used online wallet to store my coins that I'm going to trade in short term, because it is s not practical to store my coins on my cold wallet if i'm going to trade it in a few weeks.
I also use cold wallet for my long term investment, I mainly store Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and DeepOnion because I have faith in them

Do you store your bitcoins online or on a wallet on your computer, perhaps cold storage?
I store my bitcoin in different online wallet since I Dont have my own Personal Computer.Do you store your bitcoins online or on a wallet on your computer, perhaps cold storage?
For added security I used 2fa.
I store bitcoins in my coinbase wallet only. I don't have any other wallet. For security I use 2FA in my wallet. SO I feel secured.
Yes that is good, although it is not so practically because you will need both the wallet password plus the OTP generated via sms or through google authenticators when you login, but it's good if you feel more secured because of the extra layer of security for your wallet. But you still have to be careful with your phone, dont lost it or broke it, because it will be very important for you. I prefer like to use online wallet because it is more practical to use. 
After reading all the comments this answer is kind of helpful in terms of storing your bitcoin safe this is highly suggested to all the user of bitcoin who want their bit coin to be safe and to prevent losses of all your bitcoins in just one time.
Purchasing the coins is only the first part of the job. The most complicated and important thing is to keep them secure. If you can't afford to purchase a hardware wallet such as Trezor or Ledger (a must if you are having more than 1 BTC in your wallets), then I would advice you to store your coins in an online Bitcoin wallet, which gives you access to the private keys.

I'm using paper wallet and Electrum wallet. those are the best in my opinion.
Nowadays there are so many attacks on exchanges and that is the reason i never hold my bitcoin on exchange sites. Best option for me to use hardware wallets like Trezor,Ledger nano etc.
Hardware wallet is an effective way to use, I am very interested in how you store it.

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)

I think this is actually a very good idea. I would try spreading my bitcoins in different wallets but isn't having multiple wallet hard to manage? For the moment I only have one wallet for bitcoin and 3 for MEW but I kind of having a mess remembering and checking which is which especially i I am in a hurry. But anyways Im till new to this, maybe I'll catch on managing like you did after some times.
I'm store my bitcoin with blockchin wallet.
I'm using online blockchain wallet. It give you android app and you private keys. Now they accept eth and you can swap between btc and eth.
Yes, It is an amazing wallet and easy to use also It have a very good security. I use it for a long time, I never had a problem with this web wallet, Also miner fees are very reasonable compared to other wallets, We can store also ETH in this wallet. I have this application in my phone, and i access to it using my fingerprint.

I store my bitcoins inside an online wallet, in a local exchange wallet and in an exchange. And as of now, I do not have that much bitcoin but then I am hoping that I will also earn some more bitcoins. I am using a coins.ph wallet. I am trusting that wallet because it is also easy to access and is also safe to use. I really want to hold up my bitcoins to have profits.

Most folks keep their Bitcoins in a on the web wallets and that is quite very good. But it will of training course also be a lot more employed and that is quite great.But some people are also storing their Bitcoin at their very own Personal computer simply because they dont trust the wallets.

yes, I store my bitcoin though wallet but it is not totally permanent storing for a long time because i must prepare to convert it into money then i save it to the bank for good. Sometimes when we storing it online for a long time the site been hacked of somebody so that we rather convert it fast but not so fast i think slowly.
I store it in online wallet, a local exchange wallet and in an exchange. I do not have that much bitcoin but in time when I accumulate a valuable amount then I would consider buying a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano S because this would be the safe way to store your coins. I know that an exchange has been hacked before and the advise is to never store your coins in an exchange but what if there are trading opportunities so I don't want to miss that that's why I store some in an exchange.
