I store my bitcoins in a web wallet. I never had problems with etim. I am sure that they are safe and nobody will steal them.

Well I have never had an issue like that with the web wallets but to be safe I'd suggest you go for cold storage and try keeping your private

Usually bitcoin web wallets are secure. For me, I trust some wallets, i don't need to use a cold storage wallet, It's really good to use it because its more secure, but i am fine with online wallet. I use xapo and blockchain. these wallets are really awesome.

yes i am also using web wallet for saving my bitcoin, and in fact i also do not feel any problem while using online wallet. i will like to use online wallet in future also as it is more convenient for me to use it instead of banks.

If your trying to ask like where do i store them obviously in a wallet. Like there are two types of wallet.
An online one -
It requires internet whenever you want to open it and check anything.
Example blockchain.info
An offline one -
It is most widely used as it is a offline process. You can check anything without use of internet.
Example mycelium and electurm

for now, all bitcoin I have, I keep it in bittrex, well, that I do so that I can easily make trades. I'm sure a lot of people are doing it, because seeing bitcoin prices are so high at the moment, makes me want to have a lot of bitcoin.

to me i am using online wallet for keeping my bitcoins, as i fell more relax when i am using online wallet. but i always remain causious while keeping more money in online wallet and for this purpose i use more than one online wallet which prevent loosing my whole money if some one hack my account.

As said online wallet provides improved security features as well easy accessibility. For this reason I use online wallets and diversifying the big amount and keeping it into number of wallets help us to be more secure than placing big number of coins into a same wallet.

Doing same like as what you do. I'm completely dependent a number of online wallet ex- blockchain, xapo, mycelium, coinbase. Managing such of these online wallets just simply with the private keys, others improved security features making it just awesome. Obviously keep or store divided into little amount seems like a good idea.

I absolutely love my trezor personally. Very easy to use, bought one for my dad as well. The only thing im not a fan of is how when I send coins it will break them up and send it to a new address. Makes tracking my coins a pain logistically.

To be honest sir, I dont see any reason in using many online wallets, just because if you are going to get your computer infected, splitting money between wallets may not help.
That is my point of view, thats why I prefer to use paper wallet / offline wallet only, with good managing ,you may reduce the risk of getting robbed.

Papers are always the best storage... place it in a dictionary and wait long term. Grin

I have papers and nano leger... both of them are handy

I do not call the paper wallet as the most safe wallet for myself because the paper can be destroyed like to be scratch but desktop wallet is the most safe because it is not scratched and remain with you whenever you have the data safe with you.

I keep BTC in Mutisig acc, I think so would be better. It needs more than one private key to confirm the transaction

You must take security precautions! Hold your coins in multiple wallets its is best solution.
Blockchain,Multibit..
Also one good amount will be good to be stored in cold wallet!
Always use good strong password and change it periodically!

I store it in my online wallet, and exchange like reliable poloniex. Also local wallet is a good option for me.

Same here, I have also my bitcoin stored on different exchanges. I spread them because I am into crypto currency trading and its easy to trade, arbitrage if ever there is an opportunity. I do maintain a local bitcoin wallet on our local exchanges for faster converting to fiat id needed.

You should be aware of any designated service to store your money online. Many exchange and virtual portfolios have experienced security breaches in the past and most services still do not provide the necessary insurance and security to be used to hold the currency the way banks do. As a result, you may want to use other types of Bitcoin wallets to store your coin. Otherwise, you should choose these services cautiously. In addition, the use of two-factor authentication is recommended.

i think most the people who use bitcoin mostly keep their bitcoins in online wallet. i think it is one of the most reliable and convenient way of making money.

What are you talking about? Online wallets are by far the least reliable sort of wallet because you don't even own the Bitcoin and rely on a third party which could collapse like Mt. Gox. It's also not a way of making Bitcoin either.
