Probably the best way to store bitcoin on a hardware wallet. Since only you have access to your computer. Plus, improved user authentication will not allow you to crack your wallet. But personally, I do not have a hardware wallet, because I do not have many bitcoins. Therefore basically I use online purses with access to the account through the phone number
i think the safest way to store your bitcoin is on exchanges and have your profile to be authenticated by two factors. i think that would lessen the instance of hacking because it is two factor authentication.
Since there are tons of hackers out there who are constantly looking out for an opportunity to hack your account and take away your bitcoins, so the safest way out there to keep bitcoins is to take print outs of the private keys and store them in your locker. You can buy a good locker easily for around 50-100$ and it is highly advisable to keep your print out in that. Everything lies with your private keys and if you end up losing that then you would be left with absolutely nothing. Ensure that there is no trace of your private key on your computer.
To keep your bitcoin you need to avoid wasting information about your bitcoin so you can also avoid scammers.
There are many ways we can store our bitcoins and to avoid scammers avoid sharing information about your bitcoins so you can avoid cheating.
I prefer a paper wallet. It's simply a way off storing the public and private keys after you have created an offline wallet. If you create your wallet offline, and leave it offline, you can still access it from another computer by importing the private keys into wallet software and "sweeping" the address
This relies upon the measure of bitcoin we have, in the event that we have a bitcoin in substantial amount then I recommend to utilize the disconnected wallet or paper wallet. also, until further notice I just utilize web wallets from Xapo and Blockchain on the grounds that I'm new to bitcoin and don't have much bitcoin yet.
A brain wallet is when the only record of a wallet’s private keys is in your memory. The most secure way is to create the private key and then invent a mnemonic which will help you to remember it. An easier way is to think up a memorable passphrase and then generate a private key from it using a brainwallet generator
Don't let anyone know your private key, always set 2fa code or two factor authentication in that way hackers cannot easily get any information, Do not connect your devices in public place, Do not click any suspicious link. Those are things that I always remember to do to keep my account secure.
So if i put the Ledger in my computer and with the wallet on my pc i sent it to the wallet on the Ledger usb then they the coins are gone from my computer and stored on the usb?
The safest way to keep bitcoin that I know is storing it in MyEtherWallet. Just don't lose your private key and don't let anyone have an access to it.
To keep a purse on the separate device that can be disconnected from the Internet and use this device only for the purse is better for btc. In this case the probability of hacking and loss of private keys will be minimal.
Saving bitcoins in the wallet of the line is the safest way to store our assets. I am more complicated by storing btc in wallet offline and if want to sell must transfer from at must save btc at exchanger
I think by storing in some kind of wallet it will make bitcoin safer than putting on one wallet, many people store in offline wallet so almost every day he must check and backup, of course this is inconvenient because it will waste time, I suggest to keeep in web wallet such as blockchain or xapo because according to my experience more than 2 years all does not matter.

Taken dangers like hacking, losing in to account!
Taken dangers like hacking, losing in to account!
Aside from using cold storages like the ledger, you can secure your accounts by fortifying your computer properly. Use full versions of security programs even though you need to pay for it. And also, beware to any unfamiluar links that you visits especially those are found in any crypto community because some them are fishing sites and could expose you.
The safest way ever is set up an offline computer with linux, install a wallet downloaded on another pc and make a new address while being offline. Send your coins from all your wallets/addresses to that offline wallet, create a backup copy and store them on a USB drive and boom! You've got yourself a perfectly safe offline storage with a backup in case the computer got damaged or stolen.
There are many ways you can store you Bitcoin in the safest way, Which are as follows:
Desktop Wallet
A Desktop wallet offers various favorable circumstances over an online wallet. While online wallets are effortlessly gotten to from anyplace on the planet, they are adding more powerless against potential hacking. Desktop wallets, then again, are gotten to just through your private PC, with individual security keys put away just on that machine. Along these lines, the introduction of your security key online is diminished. Regardless, Desktop wallets are as yet vulnerable to hacks if your machine gets tainted with malware intended to find keys and take Bitcoins.
Hardware Wallet
More secure than a Desktop wallet is a Hardware wallet. These wallets are bits of Hardware, outside gadgets like USB sticks which you can bear on your individual. An additional advantage of a Hardware wallet is the entire secrecy with which you can execute. There is no individual data connected to the Hardware, so no distinguishing information which could be spilled. Hardware wallets are strong to malware, and in the event that you happen to lose the wallet, you'll have the capacity to recoup the assets utilizing a seed expression.

Never keep your bitcoins on an exchange or online wallet. They have been proven in multiple instances to be very vulnerable to attacks, due to exploits found on their servers.
If you have a really significant amount of bitcoin, I would suggest purchasing a hardware wallet, or try out cold storage/paper wallets, those are the safest options for keeping bitcoins safe in the long term.
If you want something more conveniently accessible, check out the Electrum wallet, its the best out there. But try never to use wallets on the computer that you regularly visit the internet on, as this might infect your computer, and in turn, your wallet.

The saftest way to keep bitcoins were you need to use a bitcoin wallet and i orefer to you the coins. Ph all you need to do when finding a great wallet and digital money storage is just find informations to it, also internalize the things you will do before you make a move.
I have to disagree with you. Ph is a local, web wallet which is not safe at all because you give the responsibility of securing your private keys to the external company which you have to trust. Would you let them keep your thousands of dollars safe when you could secure them on your own by simply downloading a software wallet? You don't even have to have an Internet connection because the software will take care of everything. It will be even much more secure to create a wallet while being offline, especially if you do it on a seperate computer.
So if i put the Ledger in my computer and with the wallet on my pc i sent it to the wallet on the Ledger usb then they the coins are gone from my computer and stored on the usb?
yes, you are right friend, Your computer should be free of viruses and always need a protective waist. You will always have to go safely on your side.
