I would advise to use the strategy of 50:50 method. If you are doubting and still undecided that you are wanted to take risk or not, this 50:50 method could help you.

Welcome to Bitcoin.

Safe isn't based on the wallet, it's based on your ability to protect your bitcoin. In this world you become yoir own bank.

What walkets are you considering? It matters.

Also, you shouldn't just put Bitcoin in a wallet, forget about it for 20 years and assume all will be good. You need to be an active participant in the protection of your hatd earned bitcoin.

Yes, saving Bitcoin in your own wallet is the best choice for long term investments. Keep away from exchanges and online wallets and use reliable desktop wallets (for example Electrum), hardware wallets (Trezor) or even paper wallets.

which wallet that you use for saving your bitcoin, if your bitcoin saved at online wallet i think it have a risk because there are in their server(online wallet developer) and it have a chance to hacked by them, if you save your bitcoin offline in hardware i think it will be save than online wallet

But their is some safer side also to save and hold the bitcoin.Even I was using some site for long period.Coinbase is the one of the best one to hold your Bitcoin for a longer period.You can save bitcoin in coin base ,I gave assurance for that.

A lot of people are talking about online wallets not being safe because you don't have the control over the private key, but BlockChain lets you get your private key and use it offline, so for me i always ask myself which is safer storing my bitcoin in an online wallet where it is secured by a high level of security and in a server runed by profissonal, or on my hard drive on my computrer that is vaurnable to key logs and hacks and can easily stop working at some point without being able to back it up, and as far as i know i never heard of online wallets either shutting down without a warning or scaming people and taking thier coins.

If you are planning to hold for long term you have to use the safest wallet. Avoid online wallet and exchange and try to use cold storage.

So far wallet are good place to keep our bitcoin, if it is properly encrypted I don't anyone can hack your wallet and steel your bitcoins but if you have many bitcoin now I suggest you buy an offline wallet because this is surely a safe place you ca also try investing in other alts so you can maximize your earnings and may have a chance to become an instant millionaire if you are lucky with trading.

It is good when you save your bitcoin in your wallet like I stored it to coins.pH and anytime i need to withdraw in case of emergency I convert it to peso and transfer to my bank account.
Yeah it is good that the Philippines made an online wallet like coins.ph that accepting bitcoin and convert bitcoin into our money country. It is one og the most trusted wallets in our country. And like you said if you have emergency it is a less hassle because the coins.ph is enough to convert the bitcoin into our money country
It is a good innovation because then we can exchange and also withdraw easily. but it must be questioned whether the place is safe to store the Bitcoin we have. because I think a safe wallet is a wallet that has private keys. a local exchange company is quite trustworthy, but what if there is a hacking of the website. it could be that all bitcoins from all registered users can disappear easily. I may still give some options that is when we want to store Bitcoin in large quantities then the offline wallet can be an option and when we want to do exchange and transfer with high mobility then web wallet can be an option.

All you need is single line of private key and you can store your BTC for as long as you want. Use BitAddress to generate paper wallet.
https://www.bitaddress.org
And send Bitcoins to public address as generated, that's it.
You will be credited with all future forks happpen during your holding time. With zero risk, you can redeem Bitcoins whenever you desire.

I don't not see much risk in saving your bitcoins in a wallet for longer term unless there is a hacker attack. But try not to keep the bitcoins in an online wallet like coinbase or blockchain. Their policies keep changing and you may to be aware of such policy change if you are planning to keep your bitcoins for longer term. Instead try to use offline wallet like Electrum. Just download and install the wallet. You don't need to download the entire blockchain with electrum wallet as it is connected to a central server where blockchain is being downloaded. So whenever you open that wallet, it connects to the blockchain and whenever you close it, it gets disconnected from the online server. It's safe and you will have access to your private key as well. My recommendation is Electrum wallet.  
steady ,,,,,, thanks for the suggestion i will try to learn it. while this I just know some kind of wallet only and that too do not know the advantages and disadvantages where ... I will try to learn from what friends have to say.

You simply can forget your logins and passwords with time or just loose it. In the case if you plan to hold your coins for long I advice you to take care about all those staf to get the wallet and your founds available to you. That is my advice.
