Hello everybody.
Am new here and i need help in keeping bitcoin

Store your bitcoin on cold wallet, for example, my recommend is Electrum, you don't need download the data, Thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/electrum-20-release-973768 (they has been released v2.0).
Also you can check and choose another awesome wallet here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

you can simple store them in paper wallet if you don't want to access them for long periods, but if you want to use daily then you can store in bitcoin desktop wallet, don't use online wallets or exchange to store your coins

it's pretty simple, store them in a cold storage(something that it isn't online ever, until you need to use them, at that point you can connect to a formatted cpu, or a dedicated one for btc)

so just put the wallet.dat there and you're done

you can keep your bitcoin on bitcoin core wallet and back up it to your local storage or you can back up to paper wallet

It depends on how much you plan to have. If you have a small amount, like less than $20 worth, then I wouldn't even bother with anything special, just grab electrum and have at it.

If you are having a medium amount, maybe something like 50-200$, then look at ledger's cheap hardware wallet. It is supposed to be good, maybe not as good as a trezor but it is also much cheaper, 15$ vs 100$.

If you have more , such as 200-thousands then you should get the best and most secure hardware wallet currently out there. AFAIK this is the trezor but I didn't really research it much.

As others say you can make a paper wallet, but this makes me nervous because I lose things easy.

I cant understand exactly what help do you mean in keeping bitcoins but i assume you want to save atleast. You can create a paper wallet. Take a look here for information https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Paper_wallet

first answer me there:
1) how much bitcoin do you have? (no need to give number, is it large amount or like faucet payouts that you gathered)
2) what do you plan to do with them?

determining these two can make you choose from paper wallet to an online wallet.

All basic informations you need to know are on Bitcoin.org
and here is the the link for the "where question" : https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet you simply choose a wallet depends on your Operating system that you use . (if Windows PC then go with something like electrum or multibit HD)
